Patient Reviews
Mar 12, 2020
Dr. Fortunato treated me 6 years ago and provided me with a much better quality life. He was excellent, had great bedside manners, explained problems, procedures and recovery process really well. He listened to my concerns, provided clear instructions and never rushed me into any decisions. Also, followed up to be sure everything was healing nicely. I would recommend him and his practice to any one in need of a colorectal surgeon.
