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.

We absolutely love Dr Ortiz
When my wife wanted her severe bunions corrected I researched the web for the latest type of bunion surgery and found Dr Ortiz. What a great find. Though he was located a 3 hour drive away it was well worth it. He performed bunionplasty on both her feet the same day. She only experienced minimal pain the day the following day and none thereafter. By the end of the week we were out socializing with friends! She wore a special shoe that was provided but no pain! The result of the bunionplasty is nothing short of amazing! Her feet are beautiful! Dr Ortiz is absolutely awesome! If you are wanting your bunions corrected don't settle for some orthopedic surgeon that wants to fuse your toes! You owe it to yourself to drive a few hours to West Palm Beach and get your surgery done by the very best, Dr Julio Ortiz!!!

Unprofessional
I wouldn’t recommend this practice. My toe became crooked after Dr. Ortiz operated on it. He never put screws in my toes to keep them straight after hammertoe surgery. He recommended another surgery to make them straight. Right.

Unprofessional and inexperienced
Dr. Ortiz performed bunion and hammertoe surgery on my right foot. My toes were ALL straight going into hammertoe surgery. They are now crooked because of Dr. Ortiz. I’m sure he’ll come on here and comment some BS to cover up for his mess. AVOID at all costs. Go to someone that’s experienced, takes accountability for their work, and actually has parking spots for their patients.

Left after 30 minute wait
One of my pet peeves is waiting for Doctors. I filled out my paperwork online, which was great. I still arrived early for my appt. After waiting 30 minutes past appt time and asking how much longer, the receptionist really didn't care or check. I left. My time is just as valuable as theirs.

I'm an 82 year old male who was flatfooted and also suffered several injuries through the years. Dr. Ortiz evaluated my badly broken down right ankle and did a complicated surgery to rebuild it. His surgical skills are amazing and the compassionate follow-up facilitated correct healing. I'm on my feet again and able to wear normal shoes. This is a well run office with impressive staff. My gratitude goes to Dr. Ortiz and Certified for giving me a new shot at normal life again.

I am so happy I found Dr. Ortiz that I want to scream with excitement. After years of suffering with foot pain and inability to wear anything other than athletic sneaker, I can finally walk pain free and just yesterday wore my first pair of nice (low) heels. I've seen multiple foot doctors over the last 8 yrs, since the pain started and none could take away the pain, much less even figure out what was causing it. Dr. Ortiz knew what was wrong on the first visit and after a small surgery fixed the problem. I trusted him from day one. So smart and kind. Highly, highly recommend!!!

I have nothing but the highest praise for Dr. Ortiz. I had originally seen him to treat several broken toes and then Plantar's Fascitis over the past few years, when I found him to be quite knowledgeable and very capable. The true test of his abilities and capabilities came this past October (2018) when I broke my ankle while on a European cruise, after which he had to operate. His skill and bedside manner are fabulous and I would heartily recommend him to anyone.

While in Florida, I had an accident that partially ripped off a big toenail. Initially I went to a hospital emergency room where they wanted to try to sew the nail back on, WHAT?! Instead, I found my way to Dr. Ortiz, it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Dr. Ortiz was so kind and patient with me, he was extremely gentle and did everything possible to reassure me and make me comfortable. Although this happened 8 years ago, I have never forgotten Dr. Ortiz and I HIGHLY recommend him!

Dr. Ortiz did my surgery in April. I couldn't be more happy with the results. Dr. Ortiz takes his time explaining the injury, what treatment options are available and what you can expect with each treatment. He makes sure that every question you have has been answered before you leave his office. Unlike other doctors who rush you out to see the next patient.

I would highly recommend Dr. Ortiz. After developing a severe infection on my leg I was admitted to JFK hospital. Luckily, Dr. O was the doctor called to attend to my condition. He was highly attentive, kind and took the time to explain to me what I should expect. I can't thank him enough and wanted to take the time to let others know that if they need a great foot and ankle specialist, Dr. Ortiz should be your guy.
