He was wonderful. He was very personably. He was thorough and his staff was very professional. He has a lovely office. My only complaint is that he need to get nitrous. I'm a nervous dental patient so I hope he listens to my recommendation.

Graduating in 1996 from NYU’s College of Dentistry, Dr. Cortes has been practicing for over a decade. He and his wife, Melissa, have been blessed with two daughters, Anastasia and Paloma, and the family has become a strong presence in the Stamford community. A member of several prestigious professional organizations, Dr. Cortes and Distinctive Dental Service have received numerous awards for their contributions to their district. In fact, the offices at Distinctive Dental Service have been selected by The Consumer Research Council of America as one of the “Top Ten Dental Offices” in the Stamford community.
Dr. Cortes believes that in order to prosper, we must always consider the well-being of our neighbors. This is why you will always find the doctor participating in free lectures, giving free cleanings to children, or participating in various other charitable works. Choosing to give a number of free, interactive, and fun lectures at various Stamford businesses, such as banks, realty offices, and pre-schools, the doctor loves helping others and educating people, especially “little ones,” on proper oral hygiene.
In addition to providing educational information on oral health, Distinctive Dental Service also sponsors a Little League team in Stamford, because Dr. Cortes knows that children that are involved in youth activities are more likely to become successful later in life and stay off the streets. The doctor and his office also participate annually in the National “Give Kids A Smile Day!” Taking place in February of every year, less-privileged children are given complimentary services by the staff at Distinctive Dental Service.
The key to knowledge and success is to never stop learning. Which is why the doctor is constantly learning, enrolling himself and his entire staff in continual education courses, keeping their skills honed and prepared for the latest trends in dentistry. A love of the dental profession and the ability to help others is what keeps the Dr. Cortes so driven.
