Dr. Ortiz is a board-certified Podiatric Foot & Ankle Surgeon specializing in Diabetic Limb Salvage, Adult and Pediatric Flatfoot Correction, Ankle Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Total Ankle Joint Replacement. He is one of the select few podiatric surgeons in South Florida trained in total ankle joint replacement and is proficient in all current systems available on the U.S. market. Additionally, Dr. Ortiz has extensive training and experience in all aspects of minimally invasive Foot & Ankle surgery allowing patients a faster recovery and return to activities of daily living.

Dedicated to education, Dr. Ortiz holds teaching positions at multiple podiatry schools and mentors young physicians interested in pursuing a career in medicine.
