I have been seeing Dr. Ortega for the past couple of years and have extensive issues due to a cervical cancer diagnosis many years ago... Over the years I have come to know...appreciate...and like Dr. Ortega as she has a very honest and direct way of telling you how it is... She cares very much about her patients and just between us? If she tells you to do something she thinks is in your best interest...just do it...lol....because if you don't? She will haunt you until you do... But I've got to say one more thing about the lady...If it ever came down to it? I would trust her with mine and my husbands life to do what was best for us... She is an amazing Doctor...
