Dr. Ortega is wonderful doctor...professional, kind, easily understood, takes his time (not hurried), and makes me feel comfortable with regard to asking questions about my hearing.
December 27, 2025
Doctor Ortega was great! He listened to me and took time to talk me through the different options. I wish every appointment and doctor was like this one!

All very professsional..

Dr. Ortega is the most thorough, communicative, and intelligent Doctor I've ever encountered. I dislike the term "care provider". I feel that it degrades the genuine care and effort taken to achieve a degree as a Medical Doctor.
December 17, 2025
Dr Oretga, although 45 minutes late, was wonderful. Took time to listen to me and develop some options to get me towards recovery.
December 17, 2025
I have a lot of respect for Dr. Ortega. That is why I was willing to wait despite the large delay. But I was taxed with my frustration at the delays, so early into a day.
December 12, 2025
As this was my initial visit, Dr. Ortega was professionally welcoming and had a very reassuring manner. He explained things thoroughly and exhibited a sincere interest in my hearing concerns and clearly explained my test results, with follow up options and recommendations. A very positive experience.

Doctor Ortega is a great doctor when I come to see him. I know that I'm going to feel better afterwards. He has great bed side manners. I will strongly recommend him
November 22, 2025
He really took the time to listen to everything I had going on and was concerned that no one was treating my symptoms outside of the infection.

October 31, 2025
Very professional and caring. Listened to my concerns and answered all my questions.
October 25, 2025
I was a new patient. Doctor walked into the exam room and did not introduce himself before beginning the exam. I had to ask who he was. I think it is important for patients to know who is touching them and asking them questions.

The care that I received was very professional and compassionate.

Professional
September 10, 2025
Once the doctor came into the exam room, the care that I was provided was very swift. However, I was sitting in the exam room for over 30 minutes before the doctor came in. I actually had opened the door and stepped out into the hallway when he was heading towards my exam room. Would've appreciated someone popping their head in to let me know that I was not forgotten and that he was either running late or as he told me on the phone with the hospital.

I had my first visit with Dr. Ortega and I am very impressed on all levels of care that he provided: Knowledge, Professionalism, "Bedside manor," etc. I had an urgent matter that his team was able to schedule me in that day. I have follow up appointments and other issues for him to look at. I am confident he will address them. Thank you Dr. Ortega!

Two visits so far, both of them had to wait more than an hour from the appointment time. First time thought it might be anomaly but second time sealed the deal. Liked the doctor and staff but wont be going back because of the experience.

The care I got from Dr Ortega was great. He confirmed I had a fungal ear infection, suctioned out my ear, and prescribed eardrops. So far, the problem seems to be resolved.
