Meet Dr. Cortes
As an Endodontist, I will strive to provide every patient with a specialized treatment adhering to the highest standard of care. I will continue to educate myself in order to provide every patient with the most up-to-date treatment while educating the local community at every available opportunity. A combination of my knowledge and desire to help others will be reflected in my routine practice of Endodontics, in hope to improve not only the patient’s oral health, yet their overall health. Through my practice of Endodontics, I hope to enhance people’s dental experience while providing them with a friendship built upon trust, honesty, and privacy.

Dr. Cortes was wonderful!! It was the BEST experience I have had when it comes to root canals. Pain free and a very relaxing atmosphere. The office was very clean with up to date technology, and her staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend her for any root canals!
