About Leonard Cortelli, Jr., MD

Leonard E. Cortelli, Jr., MD is a graduate of Cornell University and the University of South Florida College of Medicine. He has continually been in practice serving the eye care needs of the Tampa Bay community since 1992. Dr. Cortelli served as Chief of Ophthalmology, University Community Hospital; Chairman, Quality Assurance Committee, Ambulatory Surgery Center Tampa; Chairman, Quality Improvement Committee, Pasco Ambulatory Surgery Center.

Dr. Cortelli provides office-based care for a wide range of ophthalmic conditions including cataract, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, floaters, macular degeneration, dry eye syndrome and routine eye exams. While Dr. Cortelli has specialized in cataract surgery and lens implantation for over 30 years, he recently limited his practice to office-based care and works closely with excellent cataract surgeons to continue to optimize cataract surgery outcomes for his patients. With this change, Dr. Cortelli has additional in-office availability and can often accommodate same day appointments.

Dr. Cortelli and his team have been acknowledged by patients and other physicians alike as providing the most personal and individualized care for each and every patient.  He has been recognized by his peers as Best Doctors in America® for consecutive years from 2003-2014 and 2019-2020.

Dr. Cortelli is dedicated to providing comprehensive, compassionate Ophthalmologic care. CLICK HERE to see what his patients are saying!

The BEST!

I love Dr. Cortelli! He and his staff are the best. Dr. Cortelli performed my cataract surgery several years ago and I'm so happy with the results. I enjoy my annual appointments with him and feel like I'm in good hands.

"The best experience I have ever had"

Dr Cortelli is an exceptional provider. He is always very pleasant, explanatory, and thorough. The staff is also exceptional. Dr Cortelli’s assistant, Alicia, was absolutely the best. I have been going to ophthalmology offices for over 40 years and Alicia is the first technician/assistant that was very pleasant, knowledgeable and very, very thorough. I had the best experience I have ever had in my years of seeing ophthalmologists.
