Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Day 13 post op
I showered before my appointment today and has a tremendous bought of nausea. I have had intermittent difficulties with nausea but this morning was particularly difficult. In truth my caloric intake has been dismal the last two weeks which surely attributes to my exhaustion and nauseaus. One of my drains was removed which has been a huge relief. It hurt coming out and although I am looking forward to the removal of the second drain next week; I am also stressed about the pain.
Day 11 post op
I'm a bit concerned today because one of my drains has pulled away from my skin. The stitches are no longer attached and the tube had migrated out. It's painful. The other one is secured fine. My 24 hour drainage this morning was 30cc and it's the higher output drain that has pulled free. Not sure what to do at this point.
Day 10 post op
Since I overdid things on Tuesday, I've been pretty stationary the last 48 hours. Sitting and doing virtually nothing is very hard for me but I manage. I have been measuring my 24 hour drain input each morning because the sooner these things come out the better. I am down to 30cc this morning for the last 24 hours. One drain was 5cc and the other was 25cc. My incisions are itchy where they are scabbed over so that is annoying but not unbearable. I coughed yesterday and while it was sore it was not debilitating like it has been in the past so I'm counting that as a good sign.
Provider Review
Dr Ortega is wonderful. She has a caring bedside manner and her nurse (Barb) is also fantastic.
