does not take the time to listen to your problems if more then one. Always In such a rush to get u in and out. Had major problem with my knee and she didn't even look at it but instead said "" oh its arthritis"" I later had to have complete knee replacement. Her staff never gets back to you same OR next day but more like 3to5 for test results or to answer a question.

She is my primary physician, I have three years with her and it is like she knew me for lifetime. She is a gentle doctor and dedicated to their patients. she knows what the medications and the exact treatment that she has to give me. that's why I do not change her for any other, she and her staff are the best. Thank You Dr. Cortes.
