I told the doctor about a problem I was having, and all the meds that I had been using to treat it. Instead of listening to me about what had not worked, she prescribed me something I told her I had used and it had not worked. Ortega did not stop talking long enough for me to explain my problem. She did not remember that I had been to see her before with these same issues. While thats not her fault, this office should do a better job of documenting. So so disappointed that I even came to this appointment given that I left in the same amount of pain I came in, with no solution. Cannot believe a doctor is willing to talk over her patient and then not even give thought to what I said had not worked.

Dr. O just doesn't have good bedside manner. The visit is rushed, she talks fast, and I am older and would like someone who took a little extra time to get to know me. The office picked her for me when I told them my issues but I think I would have been better with someone else. Not sure I can switch...it's been 6 months.

3 out of 5 Reviewed on 2025-05-30

The provider was very competent and professional, but overall she seemed rushed and impersonal. I did not think that she wanted to know me or slow down to have a genuine conversation about my health. Also, the tone (authoritative and too loud) and tempo (fast) of her voice urged efficiency, not personal connection. She was responsive to questions I raised, but she did not provide the warmth or time for me to formulate questions in response to her comments. The entire visit seemed to prioritize speed rather than a relationship or genuine exchange of thoughts. I feel sorry for someone with with so much training who is essentially a traffic director. That hardly feels like the practice of human medicine. My vets for my pets have taken more time to know me than I received from the contacts at this visit--despite their competence and professionalism. I did not feel card for as a unique person.
