Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Homocysteine and its relation to Psoriasis
Dr. Gill Cortez is not on board with correlation between Psoriasis and Homocysteine. Psoriatic patients can have a higher Hcy level, allowing the patient to be more susceptible to cardiovascular disease. Hcy supplements can help keep the patient’s level under control; that is, around 9.0, or at least under 10.4. This must be checked annually via blood testing.

Internal Medicine are incredibly helpful.
The staff at NOVU Dermatology & Internal Medicine are incredibly helpful and competent. The front desk staff went above and beyond to help me obtain a pricey prescription at an affordable cost. Dr. Cortes's kindness and expertise only enhance the exceptional experience at this office. I won't trust my dermatological needs to anyone else.

Dr. Cortes's bedside manner is unmatched.
For over two years, I've been a loyal patient of Dr. Cortes's practice, and from the moment I walked in, I knew I was in good hands. The front office staff is friendly and efficient, and Dr. Cortes's bedside manner is unmatched. He not only solved my skin problems but also provided accurate diagnoses and effective medications. I couldn't be more pleased with the care I've received.

Terrible service, and not honest to patient
Terrible service , not honest to patient. This is my first time been with Dr Cortez office. I told with doctor that I have a small little dark spot on my leg and pimple in my underarm need to be clear up. Dr Cortez removed my little skin on my leg which sent skin cell to lab test, finally my result came out was ok, normal. Because doctor did not do same treatment for same day for my underarm, so I had to come for second appointment. After he removed little pimple underarm, caused another pimple occurred and swelling, so I have come to see doctor again for third time . I asked the front desk staff two times before services , does my insurance cover 100 % procedure ? they was said yes. They told me that I will not need copay anything. Then after 2 months , they sent bills asked me to pay $1000 for multiples same lab tests, which I did not need to do multiples test. Doctor did not tell me that I need to do multiple same lab test. Why I have do multiple same lab tests when result came

Best Dermatologist in Fl
I took my young son in to have his birthmark and a few spots checked. I was able to get a next day appointment, and the lady in reception was really sweet. When we arrived she changed the channel on the tv in the waiting room to something my kids enjoyed. We were quickly called back and the dermatologist was very kind and good with my son. We will definitely be going back for any skin related issues and I highly recommend this office

I've been seeing Dr Gill for years, when he first started his practice. And from the beginning, I enjoy being his patient because he is always pleasant to chat with, articulate and cordial and on point with his discussion. I have never had any treatments given to me and all my skin issues were resolved. I even referred my mom to Dr Gill and she likes him too

I asked detailed questions that he could not answer. As a dermatologist when I asked what I could do to prevent future issues his only answer was there was nothing I could do. Although his staff was friendly in office, they were rude on the phone and took over a week to get the medication I needed. This only happened after I called various times.

Dr. Cortes is a fantastic doctor.  He's careful, clear, competent, and will admit when there's uncertainty about your treatment.  He's doing our regular skin checks and we turn to him with anything that's remotely skin related.  I trust him completely.
