Dr Ortega, is the first dentist, and I mean the very first dentist, that when he administered a shot to my gums, it never once brought me any pain. Along with working on my teeth, he has the greatest sense of humor. There has been on more than one occasion, when he has had to stop his drill, until I was finished laughing. I sincerely believe that every parent should take their children to him, as they would lose all of their fear in his chair. He is a warm and caring doctor, and I could never imagine making an appointment with any other dentist in the San Diego area.The harmony from Dr. Ortega's office radiates outward, the moment you open his door and walk in. Thank you Dr. Ortega, thank you office staff, and thank you, dental technicians, for all you have done for me over the years. It is deeply appreciated, and my teeth are a testament to all I have written.
