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.

Dr Cortina was prepared and gave us clear information. I left feeling aware of several angles of procedures and felt i was in the hands of a very good doctor. In fact, both my partner and I felt we were lucky to have gotten Dr. Cortina and can quiet our minds as to what to expect.

Had surgery to remove a benign lipoma originally thought to be a hernia. Had the surgery at NHRMC as an outpatient. His office staff/PA/ and he were excellent. Surgery fast and no problems and no pain afterwards and small clean incision. Very impressed with the whole process.
