Dr. Susan Cortesi, MD

She is a wonderful doctor! Takes the time to listen to any questions or concerns you may have but is also very kind and will tell you what needs to be done and why!

I highly recommend Dr Cortesi . She has operated on me twice, once in 2016 and again 2 weeks ago. Both surgeries have been completely successful and have brought me much relief from the debilitating pain my disease inflicts. Not only has she the surgical skills to address my needs but she has also researched my rare disease to assist me in dealing with it. I don't know of many surgeons that go to that length to assist their patients especially when it could potentially reduce my need of future surgeries. Her care, compassion, concern, exceptional surgical skills and willingness to expand her knowledge for the care of her patients is beyond stellar, it is epic. Thank you Dr Cortesi for being so exceptional.

I saw Dr. Cortesi regarding my hernia. She took the time to talk to me, listen to me and my complaints, but most importantly Dr. Cortesi was NOT in a hurry to quickly see me, listen to me then move on 2 next patient. I am sure there are other surgeon's who illustrate the same kindness, respect and caring Dr. Cortesi illustrated with me, but they are far and few. Having had over 30 orthopedic surgeries I've met many who see you as "just another patient" Having had so many previous surgeries with many other surgeon's I can speak with confidence Dr. Cortesi is a rare breed of doctors who make want you to know you are important to her. Truly amazing and I feel truly blessed to have someone to be under her care. Thank you! In baseball, the best are selected to the All-Star game. I wish I could give her 10 Stars for she truly is an All-Star and perhaps a Hall of Fame surgeon in her field.

Dr. Cortes is a excellent surgeon. She is a caring person and always positive toward your situation. I do not know what I would have done with out finding her. She was recommended to me by my family physician.

This was my first visit to Dr. Cortesi and I adore her!! She is the best doctor I have ever gone to. She was personable and compassionate and understanding about my health issues. She explained what she was doing throughout her exam. She explained all my options to me and gave me the choice to wait-and-see or to move forward with surgery - no pressure. I really connected with this doctor. I felt like she was my friend - like I had known her for years. I recommend her highly.

I needed a large excision of a ruptured cyst. I asked my PCP for a recommendation to the best female general surgeon he knew. He recommended Dr. Cortesi.. I am so glad! She did a superb job removing a difficult cyst with an attached structure. She skillfully closed the incision such that there is minimal scarring, and such that the incision line follows a natural crease on my body. I had less pain than anticipated. Dr, Cortesi is very pleasant, and is respectful of one's neeed for privacy

Dr. Susan Cortesi made me feel like I mattered and was very thorough in explaining my diagnosis. She was very knowledgeable and professional in taking the time to answers my questions, and her analogy was easy to understand. Dr. Cortesi and her medical team took very good care of me, which felt like dealing with trusted family. Her bedside manners were awesome as well as her compassion to make me feel comfortable. I would truly recommend Dr. Susan Cortesi to anyone looking for a GOOD DOCTOR.

I was told I had Breast Cancer . My PCP recommended Dr. Cortesi . Thank my lucky stars !!! She was compassionate caring professional. I felt totally in good hands , at that they were. I can't say enough except how grateful I am. and it even goes beyond that. The office staff is amazing , if I called for a concern. I was called back by her nurse right away. If you have been diagnosed and want to be in great hands and someone who is compassionate and caring. Please call Dr. Cortesi !

Wow - Dr Cortesi is an absolutely totally amazing doctor - I would highly recommend her. Should I have a surgical need arise again I would insist on at least consulting her & if applicable using her services.. She is friendly, takes time with her patients, listens, answers questions & gives you the absolute feeling you are in great hands when you say "nightall"!!

I'm a new patient and couldn't be more impressed with how your team responded to my needs. Dr. Cortesi and her team were professional, forthcoming with information and provided a referral to help complete a diagnosis. Thank you for your help. Rick A. Sheldon

She is awesome. She is just like a friend when you talk about your problem. Best experience

If it weren't for my family keeping me on life support I'd be dead right now. Went IN for lung issues, came OUT without a colon with a colostomy bag. Suffer every day because of these people. CanNOT recommend to anyone.

She did surgery for umbilical hernia and was is very knowledgeable and caring... Mine was a little more complex with a previous surgery and her skills are amazing. Highly recommend her for her care, knowledge and skills.

Friendly, engaging on a personal level, not just all medicine. Confident. I was in for a double hernia operation. I was made welcome and comfortable is all phases of treatment. Staff who worked with me had the same manner and professional ism as did Dr. Cortesi. I would recommend Dr. Cortesi and staff most highly and without reservations.

Extremely knowledgeable, explained surgery in detail. Awesome bedside manner.

In September 2016, I needed surgery to repair a hernia. Dr. Cortesi was highly recommended by my primary care doc. I met with Dr. Cortesi to discuss my surgery and found her to be very caring and easy to talk to. She took plenty of time to discuss my surgical options and possible complications. Surgery was done as an outpatient, and I had no complications afterwards. Clearly, Dr. Cortesi is a skilled surgeon who truly cares about her patients- and she's a lot of fun to talk to!

Dr. Cortesi was great I would recommender her to anyone who is in need of a great surgeon.

Dr. Cortesi is a genius and a magician. She performed open surgery left side inguinal hernia repair on me September 1, 2016. I am a 70 years old male who had had the right side surgery done in another state 18 months prior. In that prior surgery I experienced many of the problems common to this type of surgery. This time, however, the difference was dramatically different. No bruising, no pain at the incision, no need for a catheter. Dr. Cortesi has my unqualified recommendation.

I recently had a hernia repair performed by Dr. Cortesi. The entire process was handled professionally with all appointments on time or even early! No pain after surgery and healing process moving along well.

I found Dr. Susan Cortesi to be a very competent, caring, confident surgeon. Her diagnosis was correct and her care and bedside manner were a welcome experience. She took all the time I needed to answer my questions and explain my condition and upcoming gallbladder and hernia repair surgery to my satisfaction. Her knowledge, confidence, and attention to her patients gave me great comfort from my first appoint with her , to my day of surgery, and follow up appointment. Dr. Cortesi is a surgeon I
