About the Surgeon
Charlotte's great medical community, Greek populace and the opportunity to work with a world re-known professional is what attracted Dr. Kortesis to the Queen City. Moreover, the native North Carolinian and family man at heart had a sincere desire to be close to his fiancee and his family. With a background specializing in both reconstructive and cosmetic surgery, this experienced and well-trained surgeon has made significant contributions to his field since completing his training at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center. He has lectured and mentored medical students, written several scientific publishings and has performed over 5,000 surgical cases.
A genuine desire to help others is what led Dr. Kortesis to pursue a career in medicine. He finds plastic surgery particularly unique because of the amazing ability to reconstruct any part of the body back to its natural form and believes the cutting edge technology in plastic surgery has paved the way for advances in the field of medicine. His Certifications and Licensure include:
State of North Carolina Medical Board, License
Advanced Cardiac Life Support Provider
Basic Life Support Provider
Candidate for membership American Society Plastic Surgeons
Member North Carolina Plastic Surgery Society
Member Greater Charlotte Plastic Surgery Society
Throughout his career, Dr. Kortesis has practiced his craft with the greatest efficiency but what is most impressive is his compassion for his patients in and outside of the center. He recently treated patients in Bolivia during his work with the Partners of the Americas. This experience afforded him the opportunity to aid pediatric patients with severe burn injuries and inspired him to want to do more. He strongly believes in giving his time, energy and gift of reconstructive surgery to others and has committed to performing mission work each year.
Finishing at the top of his class in medical school, getting into the most competitive medical specialty and receiving the respect of his plastic surgery teachers are just some of his many achievements. On a personal level he is proud of his personal relationships and mentoring young children within his church community. As a surgeon and proud member of the Hunstad staff he wants to be known for going the extra mile for each of his patients and giving them a first class experience.
