I have been going to him for years. He is one of the very few docs I can actually tolerate. And he has very good bedside manner. Accent is very heavy for someone who is new, but he is imo still a phenomenal doctor. I recommend him to anyone.

I have a very complex medical situation and have actually been dropped by a couple of practices. Dr Ortega did not hesitate to take me on board, and has been wonderful in listening to what I have to say. Always takes time and effort to cover all of our bases, but does not hesitate to deferred to a specialist if and when we run into an area outside of his comfort zone. Best small town Doctor I have come across!

I disliked the 2hr wait for a scheduled appt. and being able to hear him having long discussions about soccer in the hallway after I was actually able to get in a room.
