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.

Her insights and dedication to performance (she is demanding and direct) saved my life.

I accompanied my mother for her first visit with Dr. Fortin, and I my Mother and I were both so impressed. Dr. Fortin was professional, thorough, and knowledgeable. The appointment was not rushed, my Mother was able to ask all of her questions, and Dr. Fortin was very understanding of my presence and my note taking. My Mother and I both felt so much better about her diagnosis after her visit. I am so happy that Dr. Fortin is a part of my Mother's care team.

If you expect the best then you can't go wrong if you don't expect "pure bluntness & no kid gloves sugar coating responses that make you feel good" then DO NOT waste Dr. Fortin's valuable time she is one in 10's of thousands that possess her degree of knowledge and intellect . Dr. Fortin gets to the point and will share her vast knowledge if you can accept her blunt attitude. I will continue seeing and relying on her and worry about the hurt feelings in my next life.
