Dr. Cordes and his nurse [...] are the best. He is a phenomenal surgeon with years of experience and knowledge, excellent bedside manners and understanding. He listens and really cares about his patient's best interest. Nurse [...] is delightful, informative and spot on in taking care of what needs to get done for you with great communication. I wish I knew of Dr. Cordes a long time ago, I totally trust him. Thank you to him and his staff for the integrity and honesty as a health professional is supposed to be to their patients.

Dr. Cordes was very kind, welcoming, communicated thoroughly and treated me with respect
August 29, 2026
My face to Face interactions with Dr. Cortez and his staff were excellent. I am so appreciative of all they have done for me. I think there is a problem with the "My Endeavor" online portal. Dr. Cortez recommended that I continue taking gabapentin. However, when I tried to renew my subscription through the my Endeavor portal, I receive no response whatsoever. It appears that no one is monitoring that.That prescription renewal Request is still pending. This happened one other time when I made a prescription renewal request. I had to call them and try to connect with them through the phone to make sure that they paid attention to that online request.However, I have weaned myself from that drug and don't feel like I need it anymore. Just wanted to let you know

Dr. Cordes is the most caring doctor I have seen in my 82 years. Very concerned about the whole patient. Makes sure you understand everything about your condition without losing you in medical terms. Called from home later in the evening to make sure you were comfortable with everything and if you developed any new questions. A really great doctor who is a credit to the Hospital.
