About Dr. Lorimar Ortiz (Spanish):

En respuesta al deterioro en la calidad del servicio de medicina primaria en Puerto Rico, fundé la primera clínica de Cuidado Primario Directo (DPC) en nuestra isla. En mi clínica recibirás un cuidado personalizado donde trabajaré en conjunto contigo para lograr tus metas de bienestar físico, emocional y familiar. Estaré accesible para ti a tu mayor conveniencia. Disfrutarás de citas sin espera, evaluaciones agendadas para el mismo día o al próximo, visitas extensas y relajadas, acceso vía llamada telefónica, texto, correo electrónico o vía mensajería a través de tu portal de paciente. Todo esto a un costo mensual asequible, similar a tener una membresía de Netflix o de un gimnasio.
