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.

Seeing Dr. Mortara means the luxury of having a physician engage with you and really listen to what you're saying.

Excellent Appointment
Dr. Mortara is always up-to-date on the latest medical advancements. She lets me know what changes I need to make based on laboratory test. She helps me understand laboratory tests that I’m confused about.

Dr. Motara
I only had to wait five minutes before I was called for my appointment which is unusual. And I only had to wait about five minutes after the nurse did all the preliminary and then the doctor came in. Dr. Motara is always very friendly.

Always addresses my health needs!
I came in needing a replacement prescription for a Mammo & she sent it out electronically to the Breast Center & I have an appt 10/16. I had concerns about the size of my neck glands & she set an appt for a neck Ultrasound. I needed a flu shot & that was done. And it was time for labwork & that was scheduled the following Monday (today). She always addresses all issues, & has my next 6 month visit scheduled. All much appreciated.

Very thorough.
Dr. Mortara is extremely thorough. I recently came to Urgent Care for a UTI. I was prescribed an antibiotic but the infection returned. So I went back to UC. I was unhappy with that experience and began emailing Dr. Mortara. She was very prompt on her responses. She fit me in to her schedule and treated my symptoms but also ordered some tests to insure the infection had not gotten into my system. She has been my doctor for at least five years and I would wholeheartedly recommend her.

Excellent experience
Dr Mortara was very thorough. She listened to my concerns and made some observations that were lacking in my previous medical care. She made sure I got appointments lined up to be up to date on health screenings like mammogram and colonoscopy. She is very personable and easy to talk to. Also, I appreciate that there was not a long wait in the waiting room. The staff were all very helpful and my lab work was drawn in the same building, the same afternoon.

I highly recommend Dr. Mortara
Dr, Mortara listens to what I have to say and responds quickly. She was able to assist in last minute appointments prior to surgery and had me come to see er after all three surgeries, by surgeons outside the area. Dr Mortara is closely monitoring my situation after a failed surgery and two surgeries to repair the damages.
