Dr Cortes is a wonderful doctor to my son. Its difficult to secure an appointment and sometimes the wait can be long but he's worth it. He relates to teenage youth and is fun to talk to. Diagnosed my sons condition accurately after a year of running around with another doctor. We will be sad to say goodbye when my son must move on from pediatric care.

I had my first child back in 2011 and heard from the nurses in the hospital that Dr. Cortes was amazing.. I decided to go and check him out and he completely won me over.. He has excellent mannerism and the way he was and still is towards my daughter after two years is exceptional. He knows what he is doing and you can see that he is all about the health and well being of the children. I just had my second child almost two weeks ago and D. Cortes also takes care of him:) wouldn't change him for any other pediatrician in the world:)

His bedside manners are exceptional. He is clear, he explains well the diagnosis, in lay terms and he is thorough.When I took my daughter to his office there was an optional vaccination which we told the nurse we didn't want. That same day in the evening he called me and said: "I know that my nurse talk to you about this but I wanted to call you and make sure you understood everything about that vaccination". He didn't push me to have my daughter vaccinated. His concern was that I understood well how that vaccination works. He called me after hours because he was concerned he might not have been thorough enough. That is the doctor I want for my children! He cares about each kid even though he has thousands of other patients. I have moved around to different places in the US and this is the first Dr. we have that is like this.
