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.

WARNING!!!! There office is so unprofessional and unorganized. You can call and be very clear as to why you are calling and they still aren’t going to get it right. Then once you come in the have amnesia or oh it wasn’t me type of response. Referrals are a joke to them. Been waiting since April for a speech referral for my son and here we are now in August. A simple fax with patient info to the other place is all they are requesting. Simple right? Nope, not for them. You have been warned!

Dear Doctor Ortega this is so sad that I have to write this your office is so unfair to those on Medicaid and that's so wrong in so many levels. Your office needs to get it together . You are so unfair to single parents and the number of kids they bring in that's sad how a mother can't bring all her kids in at once to be seen my a danm doctor. We have to bring them one at a time how selfish that is and unfair to the parent. And so unprofessional for you Dr. Ortega. And u a doctor.
