It felt like he just wanted to get rid of me. Didn’t want to do arthroscopic surgery on my right knee to evacuate the fluid filled cyst or cartilage fragments in either knee. So…I felt like going there was a huge waste of time and I’m totally perplexed as to how it’s advertised as a Sports Medicine ortho practice. ChatGPT and a PT both came up with more treatment options. I’ll seek another opinion.

Bedside manner left a lot to be desired and did not provide a clear treatment plan. Asked me “What do you want me to do for you?” which is upsetting as I am looking for the expertise of the orthopedist for next steps. He also rushed me and literally said I only get one more question because he has other patients after spending 4 minutes total with me. He was frustrated that I called him back in the room for questions when I didn’t even realize he was done with me. He also demanded I get x-rays at his location rather than somewhere I get a discount at and then immediately told me I need an MRI after I got them, in which case I could’ve done the Xray for the discount while getting the MRI. He didn’t even refer me, he asked me to take a picture of a google search he did because he was too impatient to even have to send an official one or let me write down the doctor’a name he was referring me to. Should report this to AMA. His staff apologized for his behavior.

I love Dr. Ortega! He is no nonsense, gets to the root of the problem & takes great care of me through the process.
I wouldn’t go to any other Orthopedic surgeon in Southern Fla! *****

After suffering with my knees for years on my left knee that had 2 asthroscopic surgery's already from 20 years ago and the knee was developing arthritis 1 shot of PRP and it made it like 99% within a week. I did it to help support the right knee down time due to an upcoming asthroscopic sutlrgery. The day of the asthroscopic i was able to move my right knee pain free. He is amazing
