Customer Reviews
Based on 8 reviews
"The doctor is incredibly kind and explains every detail or answers any questions you might have. He and his team are experts, very safe and reliable. Doc, thank you so much! Blessings!! ✨🫶"
"Dr. Juan is an excellent doctor. From the very first appointment, I felt very comfortable with his diagnosis and follow-up care. He explains everything clearly, is very kind, and inspires a lot of confidence. I especially appreciate his sound judgment and responsibility, because instead of immediately proceeding with surgery, he decided to monitor the evolution of my pain, which made me feel safe and well cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend him."
"My surgery was a success. I thank Dr. Juan Ortega for his professionalism, his team, and everyone else. It's an excellent hospital. I am very grateful for the hospitality."
"My girlfriend had metabolic surgery with another doctor, which is why it was difficult for me to decide to have the same procedure. She had a very painful recovery, and I saw her suffering a lot with the food she ate during her recovery period. Dr. Juan guided me through the entire process, providing me with all the necessary information and answering all my questions. This gave me a lot of peace of mind when it came time for my surgery. Two months post-op, I can say that I never had any complications, pain, or discomfort like I saw my girlfriend experiencing. It was one of the best decisions I could have made. I'm writing this now, 21 kilos lighter two months after my surgery, and I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Juan Ortega."
"Highly recommend! The doctor offers various weight loss methods depending on each person's needs. His office is equipped with modern, high-quality equipment, and he explains everything clearly and has a great attitude. Personally, my treatment has been excellent, and I'm very happy."
"It was the best decision I made and the one that cost me the most work, because I was afraid but my physical and emotional state was not parents anymore, however, today I wonder, I hesitated so much to do it, but I consider that everything comes at the right time, they recommended Dr. Juan Ortega to me and since I saw him I said I trust you, truly that had never happened to me, but since I saw him it gave me peace and I said I put myself in your hands, the universe put you in my path and like all this was a new moment, a new opportunity, today I have lost more than 45 kilos and every day I say thank you for coming into my life Doctor because you are definitely supporting me to transform it 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻"
