While the doctors, nurses, and in-office staff are wonderful, the AI phone system and computerized…read morecheck-in process are very frustrating. The automated answering service often directs me to call 911 instead of allowing me to speak to someone, which can be extremely inconvenient. The QR code and computer check-in system also make the process feel impersonal and a bit like patients are just numbers moving through the system. I really miss the days when you could call the office and speak with a real person or check in with someone at the front desk. It made the experience feel much more welcoming. That being said, the staff, nurses, and doctors are excellent--kind, caring, and very professional. They are the main reason I continue coming back to this office. If the communication and check-in process were improved to feel more personal, the overall experience would be much better.

Yes he has a loud voice which I find is just part of his outgoing personality. He always seems happy to see me. I get results faster than any doctor I have ever had. I love the staff they are nice and understanding. They take the time to research and explain and answer any and all questions. The office is old school which is comforting. It is not dry and sterile. It is welcoming. Dr. Ochoa always takes the time to see me personally. Not all doctors do this anymore. I feel I made a great choice and am extremely happy with him.

Dr. Ochoa is everything I don't want as a primary care physician. First of all, he invades your…read morepersonal space during visits as he sits practically on top of you. He speaks very loudly. My wife said she could hear him talking while she was in the waiting room. Most importantly, he is very dismissive and inpatient to your concerns, and opinions. He will override you immediately when you are trying to explain things and he is quick to lecture you as if you don't know yourself better than he does. I've called and left messages of major concerns with their answering service and office personnel and never received a call back. Bottom line, I always feel worse after I leave his office than before I went in. If you have a good sense of self, see someone else.

I came out of his office and had insomnia because he scared me so much with his negative words. Instead of helping me with my high blood pressure, he put the stethscope on my neck and informed me that I was going to have a stroke. I chose a new dr that now my BP is under control and healthy and I have not had a stroke. This dr is not a dr to heal(blessings). He is a dr of negative words(curse) I think he finds a sick joy in scaring his patients. Run from this man!!!!!!

I wouldn't recommend this place if your not well. But, hey, they won't take you anyways.

He's had horrible staff during times and good in fact awesome at others. I don't know if the medical care system has changed. I don't know. But months out from appointments means one of two things or both. Either you have too many patients or not enough staff. No matter. And this is kind of common here in San Antonio I've found. Tried to find a doctor taking new patients. 5 months out. THAT is not health care. I can't 'plan' every event with my health 5 months in advance. People get sick and need to see a doctor fairly soon. 'Go to the ER' is the answer. Then the ER gets clogged up to people that really need it. So I just become part of the problem. But for me, for as long as I've been a patient, I don't' care how many patients you have...it's about loyalty and trust me, I've stuck through some bad times there as he's gone through some horrible staff. And I see it. I didn't say anything but I saw the damage being done. I just can't do it. I don't feel like I can accept that for MYSELF. Love the man. He saved my life long ago. We've been through a lot together. I consider him a friend, but I just cannot be treated like that. 5 star for Taj, 2 for the management side of it.

She strongly advised me to seek out a primary care doctor to increase my chances of survival. Since I am not from this area, I searched in network doctors from my insurance and would up with him. This doctor's standard of care was substandard to be modest. Without divulging too much PHI, I was trying to get help from him to deal with the emotional and psychological issues associated with cancer. I asked for a referral to a psychiatrist (couldn't do that). My mental health had gotten so bad. I asked him to send depression medicine to the pharmacist and he denied the refill because I didn't come back to his office. Instead of anyone from that office calling to ask what problems I was experiencing and seeing how I could be better helped by the doctor, I didn't get a call from them at all and they want. This doctor is all about the insurance grab and should have his license revoked. Seriously.
