Great first visit. She listened to me, gave me all of my options, made suggestions, and supported my decision with prompt action. Then, she was on time for the surgery and had good initial bedside manner. Unfortunately, she left before I came out of anesthesia and didn't give me or my significant other any information on how the procedure went and on any findings. I didn't see her at all afterwards.

Dr. Ortiz has a very caring nature and listens to me when I describe my symptoms. She seems to be genuinely interested in what is going on with me, physically and emotionally. She answered all my questions and explained a plan of action and various treatments. More doctors should learn how to be this caring and engaging with their patients. We just want to be treated like a human and not a $ sign.

I was very nervous about being referred to urologist to rule out bladder cancer. Doctor Ortiz fully answered all of my questions and had a calm and comforting demeanor. She re-tested my specimen and found nothing further was needed. She sent me a message the same day my urine was clear. She is a very special doctor.
