Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Stints both legs
Dr Fortuna did surgery on both my legs to insert stints. For the first time in decades I can walk without pain. Wonderful doctor.

The best in my book.
Dr. Fortuna took care of me when I was diagnosed with an abdominal aorta anuerysm. He found out after he started my surgery that a lot more work was needed than we anticipated. Anyway after Eleven and a half hours of surgery Dr. Fortuna finished. This man is one amazing person as a doctor and as a friend as I see him. Should have typed this sooner, but I guess being late is better than not offering my thanks for what he's done for me and my family. Dr. Fortuna found out he was moving immediately after my surgery, and I always regret no seeing him for follow-up visits. He was always so cool and professional, always explained everything so thoroughly, and always enjoyed his drawings he used to show how his work was going to be performed. Thank you doctor, and sorry for having to work you so hard that day and making you really earn your compensation. Thanks again doc, it will be 2 years come March 2023, and I'm doing great
