Doctor Corcoran performed a lung surgery. Before the surgery he spent lot of time explaining the options. It was a complex surgery which lasted more than 5 hrs. The results are excellent. He just saved my life. Highly recommend Dr. Corcoran. He is superb surgeon and great man!

Dr. Corcoran gave me a new lease on life after what could have been a life-ending and permanently debilitating accident in which I was struck by a car while riding my bicycle. From my the first consultation in the ER, to my extensive surgery, multiple visits during my long hospital stay, and postop follow up appointments.. his manner has always been so incredibly positive, caring, and encouraging. He instilled complete confidence and trust in his abilities at a time when I felt most fragile.

I have so many things to say about Dr. Corcoran that it would take more than this little page to list them all. His amazing bedside manner and how he takes all the time in the world for his patients is just fantastic. He's kind and compassionate. It seems to me this man truly loves what he does and honestly cares about the people he treats. He's also a fantastic surgeon! I would recommend Dr. Corcoran to everyone I needed to.

I am so very impressed with Dr. Corcoran. I took my extremely scared husband to see him about upcoming surgery and he completely put us both at ease. His intelligence and passion for what he does is highly evident. He took time with us to explain everything that he could. He asked us to ask him questions and when we did, he was patient and kind and answered everything. He is a remarkable doctor and I trust him with what he is going to do with my husband. I would highly recommend Dr. Corcoran to anyone!

Dr. Corcoran and his staff provided the best medical care I have received in thirty years. The staff was friendly and courteous and appointments were easy to make; when I had an emergency, they were there for me. Dr. Corcoran was professional and compassionate from the first appointment and his diagnosis and treatment saved my life. This is the kind of medical care to which all health care professionals should aspire.
