Dr. Martha Cortes

When I’m not busy with biological/airway dentistry, Clinical Advisory coaching, and lecturing, I enjoy rowing, biking with my son on bike trails, and dancing. When possible, I really enjoy watching my husband, or son, create a healthy meal made with love. I also visit my ninety-year-old parents weekly, providing them company, groceries and sometimes maid service. When I see their smiles, it makes everything worth it.
