Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

If going for help with your pain, Dr. Ortiz will help you. But don't expect lots of narcotic drugs as that won't happen. You get what is needed without excess. This I prefer as don't like having to take anything. Make sure you take as prescribed and no more. Does not play games. Very honest caring doctor, the best.

I have been a patient of Dr Ortiz since 2002. When I started with him I was told by my neurologist I'd be in a wheelchair by the time I was 40. I just turned 42, no chair for me !! He's a wonderfully caring doctor.

I have been thrown out of several so called "pain clinics ". After 20 years on opiates and 8 years walking with a cane I was sent to Dr Ortiz. Little bumpy at first, my fault, I was used to hurry up and wait , pee in the bottle, get your pills and get out! Once I got over that I found a Dr and staff willing to listen and now I'm opiate free and have been able to put the cane in the corner where it belongs.

This doctor knows his stuff! He's friendly, answers all questions and knows how to crack my back and neck that helps tremendously. He seems to actually care much more than other doctors I've met besides my PCP.
