If you are healthy and just need quickie checkups he might be ok for you but if you have medical problems, he doesn't really seem to want to do real compassionate doctoring. Getting refills is a nightmare and his office staff are rude and no help when you need it. Useless.

He…read moreresponds quickly to messages, truly listens, and always takes my observations and needs seriously.

His combination of professionalism, compassion, and attentiveness is exceptional. I feel incredibly well taken care of and highly recommend him.

He demonstrates his expertise in a holistic way: diet, exercise, relationships, medications, surgeries, etc. I think he's brilliant and very human. In addition I am profoundly grateful that he communicates with the whole care team for the patient. For example, if you need cardio care, he coordinates the data and consults with the other physicians and gives you as much time as you need to understand your options and your diagnoses. This is critical when you're at a juncture between several experts and doctors. He's a real mensch.

I hope Dr. Cortes stays in Santa Cruz for a long, long time. Thank you, A very appreciative patient.

I know that Dr. Tierney has moved away from Monterey. I have been a patient for years. My husband…read moregot covid and then myself, we were very sick. Dr. Tierney saved our lives. I can not imagine if she was not there for us by email and calling our son every other day to make sure we were doing all the vitamins, antibiotics and then encouraging my son to take me to CHOMP when I became worse. This experience was so difficult and we were scared that without proper medical advice, the outcome could have been deathly. I would have happily paid any doctor for life saving advice. During this time, we were not allowed to be seen in any local facility due to the high risks. So, emailing her was something that we will cherish.

She has been methodical and thorough, communicating effectively and coordinating with other involved physicians in this particularly complex illness.

Waited 3 months for appointment for new primary care doctor (just moved into area). Husband…read morearrives at 10:15 for 10:30 appointment. After numerous requests to find out how long it would be, he finally left at about 11:45 after making an appointment with another doctor. Staff was apologetic and helpful (as much as possible) but wait time is unacceptable. Husband took off work to go to this appointment and he works 1.5 hours away so you can imagine how inconvenient this was. ALSO, this was not original appointment nor doctor. When I called office a couple of week before about another question, found out that husband's appointment was not only moved out a week but was scheduled with a different doctor. No one notified us; had it not been for my calling to ask a question on the intake form, we would not have known he had been rescheduled. Just noticed that Doctor concentrates on women's health (obgyn?) which can possibly be cause of delay. However, if known there would be a delay at this time in the morning, someone should have notified us and rescheduled appointment. BTW, was told that this doctor is notorious for running late. Terrible service; terrible consideration and respect for other people's time!!!

Such a pleasant Doctor! The wait times could be a little long but it's worth it! My mother is in need of a family healthcare doctor and I know just where I will recommend for her to go. Dr. Rosen of course!

Having been involved in the behavioral healthcare system for most of my life, I've experienced a wide range of mental health professionals. Laura, however, stands in a category all of her own. She is one of the only providers I've ever worked with who genuinely, deeply cares. Her dedication shows through her actions and her consistency in going the extra mile. In my case, she even went through the process of becoming specially certified in a specific medication just so she could provide me with the treatment I needed. That level of commitment to a single patient's well-being is incredibly rare. She doesn't just treat symptoms, she advocates for your life. It is extraordinary to find a practitioner who is both a brilliant clinician and a truly compassionate human being. I couldn't recommend her enough.
