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. Craig goes above and beyond. He is knowledgeable, caring and trustworthy. Chrissy also makes sure you are taken care of well.

Office staff was wonderful getting quick care for ingrown toe nail, for an athlete that needed as much little down time as possible. Dr. Cortese, receptionist and nurse Chrissy were all wonderful. Very pleasant atmosphere and demeanor of entire staff. Dr. Cortese did an office procedure on the spot, in hope it would alleviate the issue and not require a more in-depth procedure. Time will tell, and definitely appreciate his approach in trying a less invasive procedure first.

Dr. Craig has wonderful bedside manner and TRULY CARES about his patients. He started treating our family when our youngest was 9 years old and required 2 surgeries. He has since treated other members of our family for various foot and ankle issues. We highly recommend him as a trusted physician and surgeon!
