Last February I saw Dr Ortega because of shortness of breath. This symptom had been present for months, but kept getting worse. He was very concerned and ordered a stat CT and Echo. The next day over 800 ccs of fluid was removed from my pericardium. It was life saving. I am so grateful for his concern and persistence

I don't know what I would have done without Dr. Ortega. I had some scary times and ended up in emergency room and hospital several times. He was there for me al the way. I would call him and he would direct me on what to do. He was always a phone call or text away. He was my doctor at the hospital and that was comforting because he always knew my results and what was going on. He has… See more
I love knowing that any time I call I can talk to the doctor or he will call me back very quickly
the most impressive part to me is I’ve never waited more than five minutes probably at the most to get into see the doctor
I’m not very patient about waiting so this is ideal for me
