Patient Reviews
Sep 12, 2019
Dr Fortson was so thorough and explained everything to help me better understand my condition. He took his time with me and I really appreciated him talking to me in layman terms. He has a great sense of humor. I would recommend Dr Fortson. I did wait a little to get back to see him, but once I saw him and realized how much time he took with explaining everything to me, the wait time was acceptable to me according to that.
