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.

Hard to Believe He's a real MD
Arrogant, ignorant, inept. I ended up having to get emergency care the day after he advised me to get some over the counter cold medication.

My mother went to see him complaining about pain a number of times. He never bothered to examine her and told her it was her gall bladder. I finally got an endoscopy done, and she had diffuse large-cell lymphoma! He seemingly has NO diagnostic skills, and I would definitely not recommend him to anyone!

When I needed him most, he had no openings
I had seen Dr. Corliss 5 or 6 times in the past 10 or 12 years. Like many men my age, I don't visit my doctor every year. I had a car accident yesterday. I am perfectly fine until I move. The pain is in my left hip/lower back. I suspect that with the opioid crisis, I probably sound like I'm looking for drugs. But I would have thought that my history of having seen Dr. Corliss several times would have counted for something. I actually have decent pain tolerance. Anyways, his scheduler said he had no open appointments in the next two months. I am now thinking I'll go see my chiropractor?

I will never go back to see Dr. Corliss!
I waited an hour and 45 minutes to see Dr. Corliss. I thought when he walked in the room, he would apologize for the wait. His first words were, "How can I help you?" I immediately said I had waited an hour and 45 minutes and again, he said nothing. No apology. If I'm 5 minutes late, I have to reschedule. He made many rude comments. I was in shock. He walked out of the room, grabbed some papers for me and didn't say, "I hope you feel better." He said nothing. He just stormed out. It was a devastating visit to say the least.

Excellent Experience
Could not ask for a more positive experience. I was not rushed, the nurse incredibly kind and patient, and Dr. Corliss was communicative, positive and unrushed. I enthusiastically endorse him, and hope everyone has as positive an interaction with their Dr.

Find a different doctor. Dr. Corliss does not believe in honoring the values of his patients. I called and asked for a Covid antibody test and was told that Dr. Corliss is "black and white on this issue" and that "he believes you need to be vaccinated and he doesn't write orders for antibody testing". Ethical medicine appears to be completely gone from this physician. I'll find an ethical physician that I can work with to honor my personal medical decisions.

Dr. Corliss is as good of a doctor that multicare allows him to be. He's not bad just doesn't always gets what I'm saying. I would say it's about 80\20 on being a good doctor. I do like him I just wish he was allowed to do more

If it wasn’t for Dr. Corliss’s thoroughness with my wife a stage 3 lung cancer would have gone undetected. If you are looking for a doctor to tickle your ear then Dr. Corliss is not for you. If you want a first class, highly competent doctor who will tell it to you straight then there is none better. Thank you Dr. Corliss for your exceptional integrity in the care you provide!

Dr. Corliss has taken care of my mom for years, she now has dimentia. He diagnosed her and has been so good with her. Always takes time. 4 stars because once in awhile he seems to be in a bad mood. But still takes time and care for my mother.
