  • Dr Corrales is my mistress favorite Dr. u have all faith in him. Been 10 yrs now from Middle Fossa surgery and almost 1 yr for Cochlear Implant surgery.

    2026-06-27

  • After meeting with Dr Corrales I felt so much better about my upcoming surgery. He explained, with a picture of the brain , exactly what needs to be done. I left there feeling confident that I made the right decision.

    2026-06-27

  • The care provider was excellent.

    2026-06-22

  • Dr Corrales is very kind, patient and thorough. He is the absolutely the very best Doctor all around. I highly recommend him and his team! I come from upstate New York to seek his expertise!

    2026-06-18

  • I was very impressed with knowledge and level of communication. He explained and knew things other doctors I had seen previously did not. I left confident in the care he can provide

    2026-06-17

  • Job well done - DR Corrales was a joy to talk with, and I appreciated the time he spent with us.

    2026-06-17

  • Dr. Corrales was simply AMAZING! I've been experiencing hearing loss for almost 2 years with no definitive answers from my local doctors in Northern Maine. He not only communicated with my doctor here and got me in with him quickly, he was very responsive to my concerns, and had a diagnosis almost immediately and a treatment plan in place. I'm [redacted] years old, and he tops the chart as to one of the kindest, most humble, knowledgeable doctors I have ever met. His bedside manner is exceptional. His ability to explain everything thoroughly was top notch. I cannot say enough good things about him. Thank you, Dr. Corrales.

    2026-06-03

  • He was thoughtful, considerate with awesome bedside manners. My entire experience has been above in the best I've ever received.

    2026-05-24

  • Dr. Correlas was knowledgeable, kind, and efficient. He waited until we had all the clinical information needed on site before meeting with me. Hence, the delay in seeing him. My ME team did not send requested brain films. He was warm, instilled great confidence in me and my personal team, and could not have been better, even with the data mess up. He was sensitive to the fact that we had traveled a good distance to see him and waited patiently while we finally were able to retrieve his required documents to make a precise surgical decision. I could not have asked for a better physician/surgeon.

    2026-05-23

  • Dr Corrales is wonderful. I was incredibly lucky to have him take me on and perform both my surgeries. I will always be thankful for himself

  • Exceptional knowledge on my issue

    2026-05-08

  • I cannot say more good things about Dr Corrales. He was thoughtful and careful to make sure he was making the right diagnosis. Once that was confirmed with another test (he could do in the examining room), he spent time explaining all my options, the risks and benefits of those options. He encouraged me to take time and think about everything I had learned and gave me the best way to communicate with me, once I'd made my decision to proceed with surgery. With that decision, the next steps when smoothly and quickly

    2026-05-08

  • De. Corrales is the first doctor I've seen about Ménière's disease who actually made me feel heard, less alone, understood, and maybe even hopeful. I've been to 4 highly recommended ENTs in the last 7 or 8 years. Dr. C is the fourth, the absolute best, and he is the one I will stay with for my care. I can't recommend him highly enough. I'm so grateful I found him.

  • Dr. Corrales is absolutely incredible. He performed surgeries. He certainly let me know what I was to expect, let me know when things did not go as well as we would like them to have gone.

He's certainly respectful of what's going on in my personal life, wants to make sure I'm feeling okay, doing okay. We talk about so many different things and certainly about, you know, at the top is the health.
