My visit went well, I didn’t wait long, the woman who took my blood were really nice, Doctor Ortega was very patient and calm, he listened well and explained everything to me that I had questions about. His physician assistant was also lovely and very knowledgeable, I was very nervous upon arrival and not knowing what to expect, I left feeling much better and I felt I was at the right place, I do recommend Dr. Ortega .
