She also reviews my other caregivers notes/reports beforehand. She is positive and inspires me into following her recommendations/orders... She cares!

Dr. Otazo made sure I was comfortable and took extra care to explain the process of the exam. She asked me several times if I had any questions, or if there was anything I'd like to discuss. Dr. Otazo was thorough and kind throughout the visit. She and her nurse even warmed the tools they used for the internal portion of the exam, which made the experience far less uncomfortable and painful than it's been for me previously. I'm extremely happy with the quality of care I receive from Dr. Otazo and the staff at the Hewitt clinic.
