Dr. Portales is the best doctor I have seen. I cannot recommend OC Medical Wellness enough. The office and support staff treat you as a patient not just a number. Dr. Portales takes the time to listen to your concerns and does not rush you through your appointment. As a DO he checks for other underlying issues like sleep and diet. There maybe Doctors closer to you but he is worth the extra time to see him.Posted on Google![]()
