Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Best and most caring doctor ever!!!
The first thing that alerted me that I was in the right place on my first visit was I had no insurance and he refused to charge me for the visit. I have never had a doctor pay attention to detail like Dr. Cort. He took the time to answer all my questions and even though he had other patients waiting he didn't try to rush me out of his office,. He listens and does not talk over you, neither does he dismiss your concerns and fears. He takes the time to explain whatever he is prescribing for your and gives you the pros and the cons of the medication. I wouldn't trade the wait time to be anywhere else because this is a unique doctor that won't be found anywhere else. His bedside mannerism is above the board. He doesn't just rush in and rush out when he does his rounds, he finds out how you are doing and he LISTEN!!! He is a man of his word. If he says it, he does it. I pray he never retires!!!!

Dr. James T. Cort has been my Primary Care Physician for 25 + years. He is not only my doctor, but he is my family doctor as well. He is not only our doctor, but our friend. He is a very caring person. He will make sure your health needs are taken care of. If there is a need for him to refer you to a specialist, he does not hesitate to do exactly that. Dr. Cort is not a doctor to rush through your office visits. He makes sure that you understand whatever you need to know about your visit and what you need to do to stay healthy. If there is a need for you to be hospitalized he will be there to see you daily and his beside manner is superb. I would recommend Dr. Cort in a heart beat to anyone that needs a Primary Care Physician/Family Doctor.

I like everything about Dr Cort. Problem: I have NEVER received a bill. I asked his staff what amount do I owe. Answer: Check your insurance statements.
