Patient Reviews
Nov 27, 2024
Dr. Fortson speaks to me not at me. That means so much to me. I can feel that he truly cares and is consciously present during our appointments. He is very thorough and explains everything in a way that is easy to understand. I received a letter from his clinic stating he would be leaving the clinic and I felt a sadness come over me. He is definitely the best doctor I've ever had. I see him one last time on the 4th of December. I'm hoping he isn't going too far away, because if he isn't I will definitely follow him because he is that awesome.
