Great surgeon, diagnostician, & very personable. He’s save me more than once now! Love him
Dr. Cory, Very helpful and explained what step we need to do next with my injury
Appointment was rushed and he left before I could ask questions. In addition, it took a whole month for him to review and respond to the MRI he insisted I had. Negligent to say the least. Would not recommend using this office if you actually need help in a timely manner. Still waiting on PT recommendations after seeing him almost 2 months ago.
Dr Cory is amazing - caring, detailed oriented and solution focused!
Very nice and smart doctor who knows his trade. He fixed my foot that another surgeon messed up.
He is the best. Take time to explain and show you x-ray how it’s healing.Thank U You are awesome 👍
Dr Cory is so professional and makes sure you understand whats happening I’m back as 2nd time patient and would not want anyone else doing surgery
