"If I could rate lower I would. It's just a money making business, not a health care. ... The Drs write different things than what they say. They don't listen to you."
- Top-Rated.Online user review"Great dr. Hard to find one these days. Got things done promptly. ... He is an exceptional doctor, very satisfied with all of his Diagnostics."
- Healthgrades patient review (Dr. Samuel Ortiz)"The front desk staff and nurses are great. I have gone twice and seen two different doctors from there and each visit was disappointing. Each doctor seemed to be in a rush and were quite frankly rude to me when I would ask questions."
