I LOVE her office and all of the little details that she has to make it feel like home. Her knowledge is exceptional and I have no doubt her treatment plan will be exactly what is needed. Everything was clean and she goes to GREAT lengths to make sure her office is COVID clean. She explained it to me, and it’s truly amazing and I’ve seen NOTHING like in any other dental office.

Dr Ortega has been awesome in fixing all that I allowed to deteriorate to a dental mess. Her kindness and lack of recrimination of my mess of a mouth made me feel comfortable and not ashamed. Over a number of visits and many months she patiently made my mouth and smile better than I could have hoped. I speak with people now without a hand over my mouth and even allow pictures of me to be taken. I actually feel she gave me my life back!

Dr. Ortega made me feel relaxed and comfortable my very first visit. I've had several dentists in my lifetime and she is by far the best. Very caring. She even provided me with her home number in case I needed to get in touch with her after I had an extraction on a Friday afternoon. She's excellent.

I'll start off saying that I absolutely loath going to the dentist office. It had been almost 10 years since I went but I'm so glad I did. Her assistant is extremely nice and has their system down for following the covid safety protocols. Dr. Ortega is the most professional and efficient dentist I have ever been to. I went in, she laid out what I needed to have done and we made all the appointments. When I got 2 fillings done I was anxious and panicking. Everything was done before I was aware that we had started. She is the best at what she does, she makes it as comfortable and painless as possible and I just really like the overall experience. Don't look any further. Just choose her. Worked well with my insurance. As much as I hate the dentist, this is where I will go from now on. Thanks Dr !!!

I absolutely loath going to the dentist, but Dr. Ortega and her staff made it a very comfortable experience for me for the first time ever. She is incredibly thorough - my first appointment was an exam and xrays only, we didn't even get to my cleaning. A little unfortunate, but I think it shows how much pride and care she takes in her work. When I came in for my cleaning, I said that I had sensitive teeth/gums so she gave me a topical novocaine to numb my gums, and my mouth didn't hurt at all during or after the appointment even though she had to get in there pretty aggressively to get all the tartar build up. I had to go back a week later for a filling and again had a great experience (as great as a filling can be). Dr. Ortega was very communicative about what she was doing and stopped to let me take a break when I said I was uncomfortable. She also sees a few of my co-workers, who have told me that she does quite a lot of pro-bono work. I wish I wasn't moving away, because a dentist like Dr. Ortega would make me actually want to go in regularly for cleanings. Highly recommend!

My treatment with Dr. Ortega is ongoing and will be extensive in my case.
I am an extremely fearful patient and I have so many emotions attached to my poor dental health that I have an exceptionally hard time seeking the attention and help of dentists. I'm very happy that my searching brought me to Dr Ortega's office.
Twice I have needed to be seen as soon as possible and both times was given an appointment either the same day or next. Dr. Ortega was kind and listened with concern as I explained my fears and history. She was sensitive but still very clear in her explanations and advice moving forward. I didn't feel hurried or shamed during our initial visit and decided to return to her for the partial tooth extractions needing attention. I had put it off for so long and thought it was going to be such a bigger deal than it was. Dr. Ortega explained everything beforehand and was so gentle with the initial Novocain, that it allowed me to relax and let the process happen. It was way easier than I anticipated and over quickly. I also healed quickly and with no pain afterwards. This was the first positive dentist visit I can remember having and I am so grateful for that.

Dr.Ortega is nothing short of awesome!
We have been going to her for our familys dental needs for 7 years.
She is capable, and friendly. Our oldest son LOVES coming to her office (and he's getting ortho work done!) She is even fantastic with our youngest son who is petrified of the dentist. Oh, and when I cracked my tooth she got me in within 24 hours! It looks like nothing ever happened, she did such a great job.
If you are considering a new dentist check her out!
