Cedric Ortiguera's Online Review Report Card

As a physician, I understand what it takes to be a great doctor. I looked everywhere in central Florida, including USF, and did research. I chose Dr Otiguera for my surgery and couldn't be more pleased. I had a very unique issue and he corrected the problem with his expert surgery. It was well worth the three hour drive to get his expertise and experience. I am so happy with Mayo and this doctor

I have had two flawless surgeries with Dr Ortiguera, and in fact I gave his information to a gentleman who is looking to get a total knee replacement My first surgery was a total knee replacement in late December, 2017. At the end of February, 2018, I spent two days up and down a ladder carrying roofing materials for our son's house without pain. The 2nd was a revision surgery for a torn rotator cuff. I had two prior surgeries, the 2nd of which was a total failure and Dr. Ortiguera simply opened up the shoulder, did all his work and today I have 95% use of the shoulder. Others said nothing could be done, or I would need the shoulder reversal surgery. Every appointment with him has been on time, he has taken the time to listen, and explained everything in layman terms.

Dr. Ortiguera is the best orthopedic doctor I have had the opportunity to be a patient of throughout my life. He is caring, compassionate, and makes you feel at ease. He developed a great plan in reconstructing my ACL in my right knee. He has also been able to get great help for the nerve damage in my left knee. I greatly appreciate Dr. Ortiguera and his team at Mayo.

Dr. Ortiguera is the very best You do not want to consider anyone else. He is an excellent 5 star surgeon. As a person he is very friendly. They do not come any better. If you have to wait for an appointment it is well worth it. I have two new shoulders and two new knees.

I was fortunate to see Dr. Ortiguera in regard to a knee problem. I deeply appreciated his expertise, kindness, and clear explanation of my medical issue and choice of treatment. His approach was both instructive and empowering. Thank you, Dr. Ortiguera!

I had left knee surgery by Dr Ortiguera an had a great outcome. No pain. No swelling. No issues at all. Feels great. He is a phenomenal surgeon. Explains every step of the way. What to expect and what to look out for. Highly recommend him and have.

I want to see doctor Ortiguera after several visits with my original orthopedic surgeon. From first visit knew I needed surgery and only wanted to do what was necessary. He took the time to explain what was going on with my name, has several videos, and pictures so that I generally understood. I had my surgery today and he had amazing bedside Manor, made sure I understood exactly what he was doing, and left me a note explaining what he found as he performed my surgery and what he had to do to fix it.

Dr.Orteguera is a selfless physician who practices and lives by his Professional medical oath. He is reassuring, compassionate, thorough, perceptive, informative, and an expert at orthopedic surgical procedures. To be his patient is an honor and blessing.

Dr. Ortiguera is, I can attest, the finest orthpedist in this region. I have had double-digit orthopedic surgeries in three states and I now have 2 shoulders and 2 knees that "belong" to him. The pain is gone; I can move almost like I did 30 years ago, and I appreciate this doctor more than words can tell. I have recomended him to everyone I care about, and they will lucky beyohd belief if they can "get into line" to be "fixed" by this genius of a doctor.

I came to this doctor because of all the good things I heard about Mayo Clinic. He threw diagnosis after Diagnosis at my knees and shoulder, But he never once let me even show him how it locks. I have probably wasted 15 trips going to see them. He last visit he sent me to a less skilled dr. Who trained under him, I think I brought humility back to all of them because they never did find out what was wrong with me. If you need a good Orthopedic don’t go here the only thing you might get is a high quality MRI, which did have the right diagnosis but Ortegurea said “I’m not impressed with your MRI” meaning nothing it wrong. Well they got what they wanted I went somewhere else
