Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Extremely communication skills.
Wants you to know what problems may exist and options that need be explored. Works with family members. Comes across as truly caring !!!

Not in well control
I was in and out of the hospital with COPD/asthma issues. He did not have my issues well under control. I moved back to MN and my new lung dr and she increased my dosage of my once a day inhaler and added a third one. It has been 4 1/2 years since I have been in MN and have not been in the hospital even once for this condition. I often wonder why he never gave me better meds to control my condition. He ok with not having my condition out of control

Dr Ortega is such a good Dr. He explains everything so good on the test he has done and the results so you can understand easily. I would recommend him to any of my family or friends.

Dr. Ortega has been taking care of my wife's COPD for some years now. He is very concerned for his patients and always listens to her tell of her problems before he talks about treatment. She and I give him our highest recommendation for anyone looking for pulmonary help.
