Meet the Doctor
(upbeat music) I'm Alexander Ortega I’m a pediatric critical care physician. I am born and raised in West Palm Beach and just completed my training at Nicholas Children's in Miami. As a young kid we’d vacationed on this coast and I know that this coast is great for retirement, great for raising a family, so it serves my immediate needs of starting a family and then my parents needs to look into a retired place where they can grown up with their grandchildren. I was formerly an engineer before physician and having to come up pediatric physician I felt that that would combine the two elements of my training, is intense scientific world of ICU medicine. I enjoy golfing, boating, fishing, the typical Florida recreational activities. (upbeat music)
