OC Medical Tustin Reviews
I have been a patient for the past 10 years now! This original review was seven years old and I figured it deserved an update. He’s still a great doctor only now his resources to specialized services has expanded greatly. His team of professionals are really extraordinarily wonderful. Check out his website for the many services they offer now. Dr. Portales has been an incredibly understanding and knowledgable doctor. I've been to many doctors that don't really seem to hear or understand some of my physical disabilities and Dr. Portales has been incredibly insightful in helping me to understand where my weight issues derive from and some alternative methods to pain management with my back. I would recommend Dr. Portales and any of his associates for those in medical need who want a doctor that will be sympathetic and professional in helping solve your health issues. In addition to the doctor being awesome, the girls that work in his office are incredible and somehow can even recognize my voice when I call (once every month or two) and always flexible to meet my busy scheduling needs. I give OC Medical an A+ and suggest you give them a try.
OC Medical just got the NuEra for fat burning and it is no joke. I had some loose skin after a surgery and Rachel knew exactly what I needed. I did the Accufit with the NuEra and the results are night and day after one session. The NuEra was so comfortable and tightened the skin and got rid of fat while the Accufit toned. I’m so happy with service here and the staff is really incredible. They have all your beauty and esthetic needs!
You're the best doctor we've ever had and wouldn't trade you for the world
Ok, so I decided to take advantage of the ACUFIT Christmas Special & OMG I couldn’t be happier with my decision! Rachel has been AMAZING and makes you feel so comfortable while attacking your muscles getting you the results you’re paying for!! Thank you so much Rachel for not only making the doctors a fun experience, but also giving me a new confidence in my booty I haven’t had before! Thank you to Dr. Portales & everyone over at OC Medical honestly, truly one of a kind staff!
Dr Portales and his staff were excellent.
