Patient ReviewGreat doctor
Review for Joana E. Ochoa, M.D.
Patient ReviewExtremely pleased with the advice, plan, and detailed next steps provided by Dr. Ochoa. The level of detail including showing nature of hernia tear via CT scan images was appreciated. The level of service from Dr. Ochoa immediately put me at ease and instilled confidence that I was in good hands. Thus far, very pleased with my UF medical experience.
Review for Joana E. Ochoa, M.D.
Patient ReviewShe is an amazing provider, she listened when other providers UF did not. She treated when others wanted to wait. SHE explains everything, truly cares and follows up. She make sure you understand and takes time if you don't. She has changed my life!

Patient ReviewShe is an amazing doctor, one on one service and will draw out the issue, she is amazing!
Review for Joana E. Ochoa, M.D.
Patient ReviewIn an earlier survey I extolled the virtues of Dr Ochoa and the entire team. Prior to my surgery I had looked at some Medicare rating for UFHealth and it was ranked very low. Fortunately, my experience was the exact opposite of the Medicare ratings. Dr Ochoa and the entire team, from the intake nurse to the recovery room nurse, to the nurses that were there the night I spent in the hospital .... ALL were truly outstanding. I am truly impressed not only with how I was cared for, but with the outstanding outcome of my surgery.
Review for Joana E. Ochoa, M.D.
Patient ReviewWill highly recommend Dr Ochoa to everyone
Review for Joana E. Ochoa, M.D.
Patient ReviewThe only hesitation I would have in recommending any UF doctor is the inefficient administrative practices of UF Health in general.
