Novant Health Heart & Vascular Institute - Wilmington (Cardiothoracic Surgery)

Dr. Cortina and PA Byron were excellent! Lung surgery is not something one would choose to have happen to anyone. That being said, necessity dictates a course of action. My husband had such a necessity and we were in the best hands with Dr. Cortina and Byron. Professional yet amicable, highly skilled, caring, superior all the way! The hospital staff especially Nurse Jess Roman made the experience more tolerable. No one wants to be in the hospital. Thank you to one and all for all you did for us. Home again and healing! God bless you! William B. and Christine B. Batley

I had Dr Marks for my surgery almost three years ago. He eases your mind before surgery office staff is also great I have wanted to stop by and thank him but it just hasn’t worked out

Dr. Kane and his staff were very professional, courteous and proactive. I am extremely grateful for all they have done for me. Coastal Thoracic Surgical Associates made me feel at ease especially considering this was my first surgery.

Dr Cortina..Ruined my life. I would never, ever trust a Dr again due to Dr Cortina. He also charges high bucks. The last words he told me was I was deformed. These words alone for a Dr to say to his patient is totally inappropiate. Dr Cortina! " You are not God"!

This is my Mothers Doctor. We drive in from Jacksonville. She really likes the office staff. Talks about the doctor as if she has known him forever. When I asked about it, she just says, he just down to earth. She likes him alot!
