Dr. Ortega, has been my mother's doctor since 2013 @JFK Hospital. She had suffered a Pulmonary Embolism. He saved her life. Fast forward, in 2023 my mother was diagnosed with Stage 3 Triple Negative Breast Cancer. My mom had many days where she was very sick. Due to Chemotherapy and Radiation. Dr. Ortega and his staff gave her the will and energy to fight. She is now Cancer free! Thank you, to Dr. Ortega and his amazing team! Love always, Ruiz family

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 .
