Dr Ortiz was most cordial and professional taking time to fully explain issues and answer questions. I always feel he has my care and wellbeing at heart.
Dr Ortiz was great. He covered several different things with me. There was a bit of confusion because I was actually supposed to see a vascular surgeon and not a cardiologist but the video went well and it was informative.
I still have dizziness, something new and recent seemed to be a pulled muscle under my right breast all the way around through the back. I have seen the v a doctor about that one. Still have the shortness of breath and have been experiencing the extreme fatigue for quite a while as documented.. I have had nausea for a smile and stop. Just showing a bombing on occasions. Within the last two or three months. I did make doctor aware that I have sleep apnea, but I have had sleep apnea for quite a few years. He wanted me to exercise some and walk but but I feel totally out of energy on the least of exercising conditions. When we talked, it's almost like he does not believe me.Just like when I first came to yall's office. But I chose your office instead of using the v.A facility for the heart catheter event. He is genuinely a nice man but I feel he needs too not prejudge the patient. I greatly appreciate him going these tents in when his own partner of front did not believe there was anythin
Dr.Ortiz was very professional and I look forward to having him as my cardiologist.
He made sure I knew what was going to happen. And he put my fears to rest and listen to me.
Dr. Ortiz was friendly and concerned about my issues. After spending a few moments with him, I felt relieved and walked away feeling like I could handle the situation I was in. He was great.
Dr.Ortiz is always treatme and checkme with courtesy, very profesional, friendly, pacient, and very helpful to tell Hlm how I am and I been in the other months before came to the appoitment. I. Very happy He is my Cardiology.
