He's always in such a good mood, very friendly. He is always willing to answer any questions we have. He is excellent with my kids, he is very friendly with them and helps them have a nice office visit. We wouldn't want any other Dr for our kids. He's the best!!

Dr Cortez was referred to our family when we were expecting our first child. We have been seeing him for 5 1/2 years and we truly do appreciate his expertise as well as his caring manner. Insurance costs are on the rise yet, I still will not switch carriers because I would not want to switch my pediatrician. Cheers to Dr Cortez
