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.

Finally got a correct diagnosis of fibromyalgia from Dr. Fortson and would highly recommend

Lost his empathy
His visits are up and down. During one appointment he may be very interested and offer feedback, yet during another he may say next to nothing and offer next to nothing. This man used to be very empathetic towards his patients, somewhere along the way he lost that.

His performance tends to depend on the day. One day with me you could be very kind and empathetic, the next I was not sick at all and he ain't had no idea why I was on the medicine he put me on.
