He didn't find all the records we had sent from former provider until he was standing to leave and said he had No Records and we said we confirmed last week Dakota Eye had gotten at.least 2r pages of records from the prior provider. Si he looks, says is there, gives it like 2 minutes or less.

Dr Fortney is a good Dr...his patients already know that..after many visits and procedures. I think the only ones that need rating are the people that require endless ratings to verify that.
Aug-2022
Dr Fortney is very experienced an explains everything really well. He let me know what the side effects could be to the injection I guess as getting before hand. He explained that if I don’t get the injections I would go blind because if the fluid buildup in my eye.

Dr Fortney is the best, I never seem to have any questions when I leave there. He is very professional.
Jul-2022
There was a long wait…not the fault of the doctor but an error by other staff. The conveyor method of tracking patients should be refined. Either that, or reduce the number of patients seen in a day. Also, the tiny waiting room with 4/5 chairs was less than appropriate during a concerning recurrence of the Covid.
Jul-2022
I’ll be recommending Dr Fortney to all my friends who may need an Ophthalmologist

Did not take time before he came into the room to even look at my chart to know why I have been coming to him. I know he has a lot of patients but I only have one set of eyes. Asked me questions and he had the answers in my chart if he would have taken the time to look at it.
