So far the gel injections in my knees are helping relieve the pain. I liked that I was given this option before having to jump to surgery. The injections take less than 5 minutes and really are tolerable. There is no downtime.

This past spring I had my knee replaced by Dr. Ortega. Thrilled with results. I was back to my activities much sooner than I expected. I was well cared for before during and after the surgery. Very Grateful.

Dr. Ortega revised my total shoulder replacement that another surgeon had tried to fix unsuccessfully. It has been a long, painful journey. I was really nervous to get the revision done and go through the recovery again. It's been 6 months since the second surgery and I have had amazing results. I can reach up for a dish or a can of soup from the shelf again. I am very grateful for Dr. Ortega's expertise.
