Patient Reviews
Sep 01, 2024
One of the best doctors I’ve ever had. Dr Otero actively listens and understands. He is also tenacious in getting to the root of a medical issue. I feel in very good and safe hands when I walk into his office. His assistants are first rate also. It’s never fun visiting a doctor, even for routine preventative visits, but Dr Otero makes it as painless as possible. I feel very blessed that my husband and I found him and he had capacity to take us as patients.

What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?

A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams.
