Patient Reviews
Jan 05, 2024
Let me emphasize by saying that Dr. Ortega is a true professional in every sense of the word. Dr. Ortega is a straight shooter, honest, caring & an artist in his field. His knowledge and experience in the field of cosmetic surgery is evident, and I was immediately put at ease by his calm and confident demeanor. During my consultation, he patiently listened to all my concerns and answered all my questions in detail. He took the time to explain the procedures to me in both English and Spanish, making sure I fully understood what to expect. He introduced me to the Anesthesiologist and their team to go over some medical questions to clear me before having my procedures. This level of care and attention to detail is truly commendable and something that sets him apart from other physicians.
