It was his military experience that brought Dr. Ortiz to North Carolina. “After I retired from the military in 2017 in Fayetteville (NC), I decided to relocate to the Raleigh area, since I have felt in love with it since I moved to the state in 2010.”

Its his military training and strong family background that inspired him to open North Raleigh Plastic Surgery. “My philosophy in opening the practice is to provide cosmetic and reconstructive plastic surgery service to the North Raleigh community, with the experience, training level and credentials necessary to achieve excellent results,” Dr. Ortiz stressed, noting that there is a particular set of skills that is developed with experience and fastidious attention to detail.

North Raleigh Plastic Surgery offers a wide range of cosmetic procedures that includes facial rejuvenation, rhinoplasty, otoplasty as well as body contouring including breast augmentation, breast lift, liposuction and gluteal fat grafting (aka “Brazilian butt lift”). And Dr. Ortiz gives much credit to his team for the practice’s success.

“We have four dedicated members to our team that includes Lea Piebenga, the patient care coordinator; Heather Bowler, our front desk manager; Erica Sopko, medical assistant; and Lauren Jones, operating room technician and medical assistant,” he said.

Dr. Ortiz indicated he gets great satisfaction from his practice, and the opportunity to positively impacting the wellbeing of patients.

“It’s important for me to visually see how my care on a patient impacts their health, whether it’s reconstruction or cosmetic surgery,” he said. “Walking into the operating room in the morning and hearing the vital sign machine going on in the background as I set my favorite music playlist…I know it is going to be a good day!”
