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.

Very attentive
From the moment I walked in (off the street, no appointment) the receptionist was absolutely great! Listened to what I had going on, realized it was somewhat serious, and did her best to get me scheduled as soon as she could!Got into my appointment with Dr Fortman and was very pleased with her level of care! Would highly recommend.

My husband has seen her several times and gets great care. I just got Plantar Fasciitis myself, which is very painful. I went to see Dr. Fortman who gave me a shot and bandaged it up with easy to follow instructions. It is totally pain free now...the treatment was perfect. Cannot thank her enough. I recommend her highly . She makes you feel comfortable as she is obviously the most competent caring Dr. . I trust her completely.

I had been experiencing deep cracking of my feet, with callouses that grew by the day. I could barely walk. The same thing was happening to my fingers, I was at my wits ends. I went to a different podiatrist, he said it was dry skin, cut off the callouses and told me to use Lubriderm. I went to my family doctor, he had no idea. I went to Dr. Fortman, one look and she diagnosed it as a fungus that spread to my hands. She prescribed medication and the ailment was gone!!!! Excellent doctor!
