Dr. Ortega is one of the best ECPs I've ever had. She listens, and she don't just listen to hear you talk. She listens to respond, which lets you know that she is actually paying attention, that she is concerned, and she always gives you the best plan of care that I've ever seen. She is so involved with her patients. Me, I can say this, because I feel that she's doing it to me. She's doing it to all the patients. And I highly recommend her to all of my friends, all of the people that I meet. When anybody asks me about a doctor, I always recommend her. She is the best thing that I have came across.

April 30, 2025

I appreciate the time Dr. Ortega took with me. She has a good bedside manner.

I absolutely love Dr. Ortega. She's very professional, very knowledgeable, and so that she cares. She takes her time. However, her office staff, they need some work. They don't answer the phone. They delay when you come in. They're not very warm. But the doctor is amazing. The office staff needs some work.

I arrived on time for my appointment and after waiting for 40mins I was told that dr Ortega was running late and it would be an hour before she gets there. I ask the first desk clerk could I just come bck within the hour due to be living near by and she said sure. I get back after about 45 mins and was told that I was called to come bck and I came back too late for dr Ortega to do my physical not too late for her to see me for anything else she just didn't want to see me for the physical which was strange because my appointment was for a physical and I left because she was running an hour late. I had to re schedule because I didn't need any other services besides the one I was scheduled for so I assume the physical does not pay as much as other visit reason and she was more than willing to see me just for sometime other than the physical that I was scheduled for . This was so very inconvenient since I had to now take off work to go bck to see some nurse practitioner instead of a doctor. No apology from Dr Ortega but instead told me I was to late coming back from leaving because she was running late very ironic

I absolutely love Dr. Ortega. She's very professional, very knowledgeable, and so that she cares. She takes her time. However, her office staff, they need some work. They don't answer the phone. They delay when you come in. They're not very warm. But the doctor is amazing. The office staff needs some work.

Dr. Ortega is one of the best ECPs I've ever had. She listens, and she don't just listen to hear you talk. She listens to respond, which lets you know that she is actually paying attention, that she is concerned, and she always gives you the best plan of care that I've ever seen. She is so involved with her patients. Me, I can say this, because I feel that she's doing it to me. She's doing it to all the patients. And I highly recommend her to all of my friends, all of the people that I meet. When anybody asks me about a doctor, I always recommend her. She is the best thing that I have came across.

LGBTQ Care: Inclusive Healthcare for Everyone

With dedicated health resources and caring, compassionate providers, Wellstar is making primary care more accessible to people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning (LGBTQ+).

Historically, many healthcare systems have not focused on the specific needs of the LGBTQ community. 

“The LGBTQ community has been marginalized by the healthcare system,” Wellstar Primary Care Physician Dr. Gabriella Maris said. “There is a lack of providers who have adequate training to understand and treat their unique health risks.”

Wellstar believes every person should have access to safe, high-quality healthcare. At each of our primary care locations, we maintain a welcoming, non-judgmental environment to treat patients. Across Wellstar, we’re committed to providing inclusive medical services in a safe, comfortable space to make LGBTQ care more available.

Dedicated health experts for the LGBTQ community

Members of the LGBTQ community may be at a higher risk for certain medical issues.

For example, lesbian and bisexual women may be at increased risk for breast, cervical and ovarian cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. The American Psychiatric Association also shared that LGBTQ people are more likely to experience mental health concerns and use mental health services.

Treating these health concerns starts with trained providers who take a caring, compassionate approach to help patients stay healthy.

Wellstar provides primary care for the LGBTQ community, including wellness exams, chronic disease management, virtual appointments and other health screenings. We also offer special services for people who identify as LGBTQ including:

  • Family planning and birth control
  • Prenatal and OB/GYN care
  • Pap smears for men and women
  • Colposcopy and anoscopy
  • Hormone therapy
  • PrEP and nPEP treatment for HIV prevention
  • Pediatric care

Gender-affirming care

Gender-affirming care is medical treatment that supports a patient’s gender identity when their identity differs from their sex assigned at birth. 

“Gender-affirming care has the ability to save lives,” said Wellstar Primary Care Physician Dr. Danielle Ortega. “We know that a large percentage of transgender individuals, even starting in adolescence, have either suicidal intent or attempts in the past, and we know that gender-affirming care, when appropriate, improves mental health and prevents suicide.”

Active partners in your care

Wellstar physicians provide great care to patients and our health experts are dedicated to being a true partner in your wellness journey.

“I want for patients to know that Wellstar is their medical home—for them to feel comfortable when they walk in our door and for them to know that this is going to be a clinic that is not judgmental, is truly empathic and is here to help them in whatever way we can,” Dr. Maris said. 

Our primary care team puts patients at the center of their care, presenting them with all their options and working with them to decide how to accomplish their goals.

“I get to know patients and understand what their goals are, what their hopes are, who their supports are, what their job entails, what their community is like and, specifically, what their goals are in relation to their health,” Dr. Ortega said.
