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.

Choosing him will forever be my biggest regret in
I wish I had the same experience as the rest of the people who wrote reviews. Dr Corvera made a mistake during my sons surgery ( his words) and my son died. The mistake he made was not listed or discussed as a possible complication of the surgery unless you count the very broad complication of 'death'. Not only did he make the mistake in surgery but I asked that he personally be the one that came to tell me when we would have to remove my sons life support and he sent another in his place to have that conversation with me. I never heard from him or his office with a condolence or anything after my son died.

Doctor Corvera was given our case because our original surgeon left the practice. He took it in stride. Explained everything very well and took care of my husband and myself. He cared how I was doing through all of my husbands issues. I cannot stress how amazing he was through all of this.
