My husband has been going to Dr. Cortis for chiropractic work, as well as acupuncture treatments, on his lower back for some time. He was originally referred to Dr. Cortis by one of her existing patients after a trip abroad left my husband in agony with lower back pain. After a couple of visits, along with prescribed back exercise homework, my husband was good as new. He was so grateful that she was able to help him rid his lower back pain, that he's been raving about her practice since. As time would dictate; I was eventually in need of some acupuncture treatments for myself, and there was only one physician of which we both could think. Seeing as I was new to acupuncture, I initially went into Dr. Cortis' office a little scared and very anxious. That is, I didn't know that I was anxious, until I was on Dr. Cortis' chiropractor bed and was overcome with anxiety. Had it not been for her patient demeanor, I don't know if I could have ever completed my acupuncture treatments. Dr. Cortis was not only very professional and knowledgable, but she was also caring, gentle, and considerate with me. Dr. Cortis took her time during the acupuncture process to fully explain exactly what she was doing and the benefits which would follow. Not only did her demeanor help me to overcome my anxiety in the midst of my treatment that day, I have been able to return to Dr. Cortis for multiple treatments since then. read more

Ok people. Listen up. I have literally NEVER written a review for anything, let alone yelp. I hate computers and suck at Facebook and basically anything having to do with technology BUT this one time.... I feel so compelled! Dr. Amy Cortis was excalty what I needed and I strongly recommend her! I was having neck issues that I thought would just go away (I'm 25 and a starving artist and rarely go to doctors fearing the cost!) but this pain would not go away. I called my parents and they told me one of their friend's daughter was a chiropractor/acupuncturist in Chicago and very close to where I lived! How perfect right?! I gave her a call and the rest is history! Number one, and most important to me she was super affordable! She has a private office, so no annoying waiting room. Her office was clean and it was really nice not having to interact with anyone but her. I told her what was bothering me and she went to work. To be honest, I've always been pretty skeptical about acupuncture, and I still won't say it's my favorite, but I immediately felt better after the session. I don't know what else to say, it was all just so simple! I was very comfortable in her home and she must know what she's doing because now I go once a month and feel great! read more

I have been going to Dr. Amy for almost a year now. I originally sought her services to help me relieve pain/tightness in my left hip. I had gone for several massages to try and relieve the pain, but no amount of stretching or massaging was helping. We got on a routine of acupuncture, chiropractic work, and at home stretches and I was eventually relieved of the pain (to get an idea, I was used to doing cardio exercises 4+ times a week and prior to seeing her, I couldn't get through 5 mins of running before being in tremendous pain). I knew this wouldn't be cured in 1 appointment, but was happy to be seeing progress each time we visited. During my visits, I learned more about acupuncture and its other benefits. So, we decided to try it to help relieve my high stress/anxiety as well as assist in my current fertility struggles. Again, we got on a regular routine to help with these issues. As a result, I feel more calm and relaxed during times I would have normally felt anxious, but now, on to the most exciting part.... I have PCOS, which makes it more difficult than normal to conceive. Once we decided to try and help with that issue, Dr. Amy was totally invested in helping with my fertility journey. She researched about PCOS and what it means to have it, and from there we did regular appointments to help stimulate the areas that were otherwise stagnant (and for a woman trying to conceive, stagnant is BAD). We had 3 failed rounds of fertility treatment while going to her, but she quickly reassured me to NOT stress, this takes time, we will get there. We continued the treatment after the last failed attempt while my husband and I decided to take a break from the fertility drugs. Long story short, we are now pregnant! I am not saying that acupuncture is the only reason I conceived, but I know it was a large factor. When I sought out a doctor to help with my hip, I never thought I would find someone who would help me physically and emotionally improve, someone who would be completely invested in helping with my issues/struggles, or someone who would help me get pregnant. I am grateful to Dr. Amy for all her help and would encourage anyone needing any type of relief, be it pain, stress, or other, to make an appointment. I have recommend her to two people, both of which have become regulars! read more

I have been regularly visiting Dr. Amy now since March of this year and I cannot count the awesome improvements that she's helped me make physically, emotionally and mentally. I was referred to her through a friend. I had always been curious about acupuncture and always wanted to try it out, but wanted a solid referral from someone I trusted. In comes Dr. Amy. From the moment I stepped into her home office I was put at ease. I felt like I was meeting an old friend. Professional, super thorough, and a comfortable environment. After a comprehensive analysis, we proceeded with the acupuncture. When I tell you that I had an immediate sense of relaxation, I'm not joking. I left her office feeling like I was floating on a cloud in a dream. I went in looking for a way to manage my stress/anxiety/depression issues. I feel like with working with her that I *truly* found a solution. I have been more balanced than I've ever felt...ever! I have to give Dr. Amy so much credit and thanks for her help and expertise. Now I go in at least twice a month and she's also doing chiropractic adjustments for me. I'm a busy hairstylist and the physical demands of my job are killer. She really has been helping me manage my pain and also gives great advice on stretches and home care solutions. I've referred many friends and clients of mine! If you're looking for an amazing experience with a person that truly cares for their patients, Dr. Amy Cortis is the one! read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr Amy. She is the best one stop shop for acupuncture and chiropractic care. If you are sick of the typical physician experience you MUST give her a try! She is thorough, attentive, caring and works out of an office in her home. It's a very intimate and comfortable experience. I am a hairstylist and after years of wear and tear on my lower back I was referred to Dr Amy. I've seen other chiropractors so I was skeptical- but she is the ONLY doctor who has adjusted me and I felt GREAT instead of sore afterwards! She also gave me physical therapy exercises to do at home between sessions to strengthen me and help me hold my alignment. I have been seeing her twice a week for the last several months, we do a combination of acupuncture and chiropractic work for my back and arms, and I can't believe how much better I feel! She is capable of treating so many things- alignment issues, pain, IBS, fertility, thyroid, migraines, weight gain- I highly recommend to anyone who is struggling to find the right doctor to try her! read more

This is my first review EVER on Yelp & it is very well deserved for Dr. Cortis! I cannot say enough good things about her, she is amazing! She is extremely knowledgable, very professional, & genuinely wants (& gives) the best care for ALL her clients. On top of that she is very reasonable. If you are picky about your healthcare providers, go see Dr. Cortis, she takes her time to work WITH you & what your needs are! read more

I started seeing Dr. Cortis a little over two months ago. Originally my allergy medicine had suddenly stopped working and I was miserable as summer turned to fall. After my first visit, my allergy symptoms virtually disappeared... Like immediately! After that, we expanded my sessions to include stress relief and aid in weight loss. The stress relief element has truly been a blessing. I work crazy hours in a fast paced and stressful environment. The acupuncture has helped me leave that stress at work and enjoy my personal life. As far as the weight loss, I've lost 11 lbs in just over 8 weeks. It's been a healthy and consistent drop and I couldn't be happier. Dr. Cortis is always there to help and support me, contacting me between sessions to check in on my progress. Needless to say I'm extremely happy with my overall results :) read more

Amy fixed my neck!!!! I am so grateful for her work. I had 2 bulging disk in my neck that were causing me great discomfort for at least 3-4 months. I had been to 2 physical therapist, an acupuncturist, had dry needling done and even went to something called AROSTI. I'm only 29 and was worried my neck going to disallow me from playing sports again. Now I'm back doing what I love to do. Nothing did the trick like she did. She's very easy to schedule appointments with, will set an appointment literally whenever you want. Go see her, I highly recommend it. read more

It is hard to even describe my experience with Dr. Cortis as I am blown away! I found her online after suffering from my from 6th Urinary Tract Infection in less than two years. I couldn't even tell you what I searched to find her, must have been fate. We started treatment the following day and she explained all the benefits of acupuncture and chiropractic work. Within 2 weeks, her advice and treatments had healed my infection with no need for antibiotics! I have been seeing her for about 4 months now and have had only 1 infection since that was kept under control, keeping me out of the ER!!! Words can't describe my happiness about that. After just a few sessions, she discovered that I also had severe spring allergies, low back pain, and stress/anxiety problems. She went right to work and I can say that it is now May and I have sneezed only a handful of times this year, I have much less pain in my back, and feel much more calm and under control than I EVER did on any medication. I finally feel the way a mid-twenties woman should feel, HEALTHY! She just has this genuine concern for overall health and tries to help you reach your peak balance for well-being. She is very knowledgeable about health and wellness, and is always keeping up with new research to help better her treatments and your life. She makes you feel at ease from the moment you walk in because she cares for her clients as more than just a patient, she is concerned with YOU! Can't say enough good things about her! read more

I have gone to Dr. Cortis for the last six months and my back and the way it feels has greatly improved. She is thorough, and definitely follows up. Last week, my boyfriend had severe back pain so much that it sent him to the hospital. I contacted Amy, and that night she did a house call. She then continued to follow up with the appropriate questions to be asking the doctor, as well as what type of treatment would be appropriate. She definitely goes above and beyond and leaves patients feeling satisfied. read more
