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.

just now I have seen Dr Cortez for about A year. I needed to have a Hysterectomy and Dr Cortez not only was patient and kind with me but explained the procedure and my after care in full detail. His bed side manner is by far the BEST in any doctor I've ever had. Compassionate and Caring always. Thank you Dr Cortez for taking such good care of me. :). I'm being good and following doctors orders and resting. Will see you soon for my post opt appointment.

He’s a wonderful gynecologist who listens and is quite learned in his evaluations. So glad I met him as a second opinion for my laparoscopic surgery.

After years of seeing Dr. Cortez, I will not be returning. It became apparent to me that he runs his practice like a money-making factory. At my last visit, I observed him quickly dashing from room to room with very little time spent in any of them. On two separate occasions, he had to redo an uncomfortable procedure on me that wasn't done properly the first time. My guess is that if he wasn't in such a hurry to move on, this wouldn't have happened. There are much better Drs that actually care.

Dr. Cortez always takes time to explain any issues, easy to talk to. He is a warm and caring person reaching out to myself and daughters during family issues and a personal tragedy.
