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.

Dr. Cortelli was excellent and saved my life. His nurse practitioner Shannon was the best, she spoke to my wife everyday and explained things in great detail. She even helped us after discharge and got me follow up appointments with all the doctors I needed. I can’t say enough about Dr. Cortelli and his team.

Dr. Cortelli did a mitral valve repair with a maze procedure on Set 21, 2020. This is an amazing doctor he is kind, compassionate and takes his time with you. This operation was during the Covid-19 so I could not have my wife and family with me. Dr Cortelli called my wife himself and updating her on my progress.
Thank you, Dr Cortelli

Amazing doctor. Took time to explain my procedure and answered ALL of my questions. Visited each day in the hospital and was very attentive. Most of all he made me fill very comfortable before the procedure.

What a blessing to have been so lucky to be referred to Dr. Cortelli. Thanks to Dr. Jacobs after my stress test for setting up my meeting with Dr. Cortelli. I owe a bit of gratitude to him and his staff for saving and extending my life. I was on a path with coronary disease to an early death. I can't thank him enough and there are no words to express the heartfelt feelings I have for this Doctor. A great bedside manner and he put me at ease. A great human being and member of our human race.

Dr. Cortelli is an excellent cardiac surgeon and has excellent bedside manners. Dr Cortelli continued to follow up with me during and extended stay in the hospital due to unrelated complications. He also provided support and encouragement to my family throughout the ordeal. I would highly recommend Dr. Cortelli.
