Dr. Cortina repaired my husband's rotator cuff, surgery in late 2017. He was back to work in Spring 2018 and says he's glad he listened to us and did what was necessary. Dr's orders mean Do It! He followed the outline of post surgery and he is so much better now. I'd refer Cortina to anyone! He's a great Dr and very personable.

Dr Cortina was very friendly and spent a lot of time reviewing my condition, treatment and what to expect after surgery. His office staff are always pleasant and helpful.

Didnt mess around told me his thought about my neck and got me the mri. I needed and refered Me to Dr Bellotte for neck surgery before my rotators cuff surgery. It like I have wasted a year of my life, and he just knew what to do. And believed me. Thank you.

Dr Cortina is a very proficient surgeon and I would without hesitation use him again if the need for his specialty was required. Highly recommended. Thanks to him I have two good knees that will last me for as long as I need them.
