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.

As a doctor he’s very caring and will give you his diagnosis and treatment as needed. He doesn’t abuse giving you medicine only as needed.

My entire family goes to Dr. Cortes, I've been going to him since I was born and I'm 21 now. He's an amazing doctor, very professional and attentive to your needs. I remember even as a child being happy and comfortable in his care and he genuinely cares about your health and life. He always remembers everything we talk about it doesn't matter how long it's been since we've last had an appointment. The only thing that sucks is the wait time it's usually better to go in than make an appointment.

There is a wait to see the doctor especially if it's an unscheduled appointment. I will say that Dr. Cortes has an amazing bed side manner and is extremely thorough with his patients. One of the reasons there is a long wait time is because of the time he dedicates to his patients. He is kind and understanding. I would highly recommend him to any who are looking for a new physician.

Dr. Cortes is a very likeable person and I think a good doctor. However, waiting 2-3 hours is the norm. Scheduling is atrocious. Dr. Cortes' staff schedules patients far too close together for him to keep up since he gives each patient a respectable amount of time. Frankly, as a longtime patient, this gives me pause concerning my health care. If the office cannot even manage appointments, how can they handle/communicate properly serious health concerns? I have decided to move on.
