Introducing Luca Cortese

Reading Time: 1mins

Big update for you all, my son was born!

Luca Santiago Cortese was born on October 31st, 2025 at 11:03am.

He’s our first child and there is lots of craziness going on in the home right now. I wanted to give you guys a photo dump so enjoy some pictures in this email.

I will be taking a 2 week paternity leave and don’t anticipate coming back treating patients until November 17th.

If you have an appointment with me before November 17th, you should have received an email and a text of it’s cancellation and need for rescheduling once I’m back. Dr. Kyle is also handling a handful of my patients while I’m away. Some of you will get scheduled with him in my absence. 

Anyway, that’s all for now. Gotta go.

Dr. Michael
