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.

Great surgeon!
Dr. Ortega fully explained the situation with my umbilical hernia. I felt very comfortable going into surgery. The procedure was excellent and I experienced no pain whatsoever. Highly recommended.

Waste of time and Copayment
This doctor was highly recommended but to my disappointment I could have just gone to a nutritionist or an Endo to tell me how to eat healthier, no high hopes.

Amazing Doctor
Dr Ortega is absolutely amazing! He always spent time explaining my condition, answering my questions and made sure I was scheduled for what was needed prior to my surgery. I never felt like he was ever rushed even though I knew he was busy. He is incredibly knowledgeable and thorough. His office staff is friendly and prompt. I was very scared after my diagnosis and he and his staff made my experience a great one given the circumstances. I highly, highly recommend him.

The moment I began my surgery process with Dr. Ortega he was very patient and informative all the way. He was immense help, and I can't recommend him enough. The surgery itself was done well, and has healed greatly. Before during and after Dr. Ortega was very calm and collected. And that on its own made me feel better. He also didn't pressure my recovery, he helped me stay out of work and stay home to recover until I was ready and he really cared about how I felt. Lastly he kept my family up to date the day of the surgery, and they really appreciated it. Thanks again Dr. Ortega.

Dr. Ortega recently performed laparoscopic surgery to repair two inguinal hernias for me, one of which was fairly large and longstanding. I was quite apprehensive about the procedure, due to a few horror stories I had heard from acquaintances who had had the same procedure. Dr. Ortega was very thorough in explaining what the procedure entailed and quelled most of my concerns. I could not have been more pleased with the surgery and have had only minimal recovery pain. Excellent surgeon!
