all staff that I am involved with

The best of the best.

Excellent doctor!!

Exceptional care

Dr was nice. 2 hour wait for appointment. Staff was ok not overly friendly. Parking was a nightmare.

Dr Fortin is a kind and caring person. Explaining my situation and what will be the next phase. My ankle surgery was 8+ years ago. This is the first problem that I have had.

Great experience and explanation to my problem. I made a good choice to see Dr Fortin.

Very professional and kind.

Dr Fortin was very professional yet personable. He answered my questions, explained his diagnosis and made a plan to address my issues. Highly recommend him. Be aware if you are a new patient you will have to schedule sways out to see him.

Dr Fortin is the best. When no other orthopedic Dr could help after a long rehab from a car accident he pinpointed the potential issue and with relatively minor surgery has helped the pain tremendously. He came highly recommended and was excellent.

The best explanations I’ve ever received from a doctor.

Excellent visit !

Dr. Fortin is incredibly gifted and experienced. I sought many opinions, and thankfully was recommended by one surgeon to seek out Dr. Fortin’s opinion. Best advice given. Dr. Fortin recommended and performed a total ankle replacement. I am almost 4 months from surgery and very grateful. Great PA-C as well (Deborah), very knowledgeable and quick to help. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!

The best

Great Dr. Great staff. Did not wait long to be seen.

He knew his stuff!!

Dr Fortin is very personable and is very professional!

Very skilled surgeon and he really cares about his patients.

Great surgical experience and post surgery visits.

I’ve waited for months to get in to see him. He is my Foot God, 😍Honestly.

He really does a good job on what he does. My foot now I can walk on I was ecstatic to hear. I can finally walk yay!!

Exceptional Dr. very patient in asking questions and listening. A very knowledgeable respected surgeon in his field.

Dr. Fortin, I don’t know if I ever thanked you for giving me a life I never thought I’d have again. From 1988 until I recovered from the TAR you skillfully performed on me, I could not walk for too long and when I did try to do something like even work in my yard, I’d pay for it dearly! In fact my wife and I had to plan everything we did around how long I would last. Now I can go go go. So thank you Dr. Fortin for making my life what it is today. There are not any words to express my gratitude and appreciation for you! ~Allan

What a fantastic surgeon!

Very thorough, honest and explains options and treatment in a way that’s easily understood

Once again his efforts and concern exceeded my high expectations!

Dr. Fortin was wonderful, as was his staff!!! He treated my foot with a compound and physical therapy, while I was fully expecting surgery. I felt 100% confident with his diagnosis & am very grateful to him!!!

Outstanding Doc, Outstanding staff!

Dr. Fortin is the best surgeon you can get. He is dedicated to help you ease pain & offers more than one option for relief. I would recommend him in a heartbeat.

Explains everything when asked a question, so you can understand

Very genuine. Speaks from the heart. Listens well.

Very impressed with Dr. Fortin and his staff. I am healing well after surgery on one foot, and will confidently return when it’s time to correct the other one.

He doesn’t volunteer any information. I have to ask very direct questions to get him to talk.

Did a zoom meeting with Dr. Fortin in preparation for my upcoming surgery. Answered all my questions snd described in detail what to expect.

Excellent communicator. Answered all my questions and asked of me all the necessary questions. Exhibited great empathy.

Dr .Fortin is the best. Very happy with my results

Did not feel rushed, answered all my questions great bedside manner.

Excellent physician and surgeon !

Thank you so much!

Very nice doctor, thank you

He’s personable and takes the time to answer your questions. He has it all together! He is a “Jewel” for sure!

Very good doctor , he takes time to address all of my concerns . Thank you very much Dr Fortin

Very knowledgeable, but I felt rushed. He made recommendations, but they were rather non-specific.

Love him! He is the best!

If you want to spend hours here this is your doctor I waited a month for an appointment got there at 2 appt at 220 wasn’t seen till 420 I would never go back doctor was nice but I think they should pay me for my time ridiculous

I never give 5.

Dr. Fortin is always sincere, informational and thorough. He is the best of the best 👍🏻

Very passionate in helping people.

He explained everything in simple terms, leaving me with no questions about surgery and post op care.

Respect his decisions

Dr. only spent a few minutes of time with me doing a very brief exam and asked a couple of questions. He did not even look at the monitor, which had my digital x-rays displayed. I had to ask him to do so, and he seem disinterested, and in a hurry to leave the room. Very disappointing . The PA Debra spent an extensive amount of time and answered my questions very well..

Great bed side manner

A bit abrupt. Maybe having a bad day. I waited in examination room for 1 solid hour.

The guy is a super star!

Excellent first visit.

Without question one of the top foot and ankle surgeons in the country with a bed side manner to match his surgical skill.

Dr Fortin repaired a huge mess that a different, and obviously less skilled Dr made of my foot. He is my Foot Hero!

Dr. Fortin took the time to explain the ankle replacement pros as well as options. Much appreciated.

Amazing doctor and surgeon. Dr Fortin in professional, knowledgeable, and caring. Takes his time to explain everything to you and answers all of your questions. I would recommend him to everyone.

Dr. Fortin and his very tall assistant doctor or excellent

Dr. Fortin is great, I had complete faith in his abilities. My surgical experience from beginning to end was exceptional. I have had 2 surgeries at the outpatient surgical center, and can't say enough about it. All of the staff are very attentive and amazing. After the sugery the staff provided and explained everything. I was also provided with everything I needed, like prescriptions filled and equipment which ment we had no worries leaving for home, This experience has been better than most surgeries I've had at any hospital. I would give more stars if I could..

Always provides clear explanations regarding the treatment plan!

Most intelligent empathetic surgeon in the world. He takes on the toughest cases as my husband has CMT. Very great facilities he runs with top notch staff and resources.

My primary care is in his 70s. Knows the best in Michigan. I was sent to Dr Fortin for big toe fusion. He has been awesome. Excellent care and concern. Great communication.

Love him! Great doctor!

both Dr. Fortin and Zach were excellent!

Dr. Fortin takes his time to explain options and procedures. He is caring and thorough.

Excellent, Dr.Fortin is knowledgeable , very informative takes time to explain condition well . I highly recommend him.

World class surgeon. What else is there to say.

Thorough in his practice and easy to talk to.

Dr. Fortin is an exceptional surgeon !

Pleasant, informative, concise Excellent surgeon, great rebuild, Really knows his stuff, able to work through your description to get at the source of pain/ aggitation

The best Dr. for foot/ankle surgeries!! Dr. Fortin repaired a complicated ankle issue and I will only trust him in my care for those orthopedic issues! I recommend him any chance I get too!!

Dr. Fortin wasn’t much help. Spent maybe 2 minutes with me and kept his hand on the door knob the whole time. Didn’t ask questions or examine my foot. Since I am “younger” and X-ray looked good he didn’t have anything help to offer.

First time seeing Dr.Fortin, Very impressed!!

Exceedingly clear about cause and nature of trouble and suggested multiple possible interventions. As a fellow physician, I recommend him very highly.

Dr. Fortin is very knowledgeable, kind and attentive.

Kind, caring, and competent. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do my surgery.

Always friendly, professional, willing to listen, willing to answer questions and explain his opinion and your options.

Great Doctor very good experience and care

Dr. Fortin takes the time to explain what needs to be done. He's No.1 in My Book.

Very good visit explained everything excellently.

He listens well and is easy to talk to.

Almost 2 hours late for an appointment otherwise would have received 5 stars.

So appreciate the time Dr. Fortin took to understand my ankle problem and he really explained in depth the options that were best for me.

Great doctor. Listens and is very caring.

The best doctor

I had an ankle replacement performed by Dr. Fortin and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. My ankle is stable and much stronger than before the surgery. I would recommend Dr. Fortin to anyone who is considering ankle surgery.

Very professional

Thank you for your wonderful service and having a great staff

Dr Fortin has been great since my first visit, all through my surgery and recovery. My surgical procedure was a success and everything he said it would do. Thank you Dr Fortin and Praise God. I’m out of a permanent brace..

Always informative and thorough

Very weak doctor-patient relationship. Not “friendly”. All “matter of fact.” Relies on physician assistant too much! Good surgical skills but no manifestations of empathy for patients .

Dr. Fortin was very thorough about what needs to be done. He answered all my questions without any hesitation.

I like Dr. Fortin but today I had a 7:50 am appointment (for which I arrived early) and didn't get seen until 8:45 am because a "professional athlete" came in (according to him). I made that appointment many months ago and waited my turn to be seen. Why is it OK with your practice to subjectively decided one person is more important than someone else? That professional athlete's job probably isn't in jeopardy if he isn't at work on time, though mine is. If that practice is playing favorites, can they please consider showing some special accommodations to a single mom trying to make ends meet and handling everything on her own?

Operation went well.

Very kind & caring. Explained everything !

Talked to me re surgery taking his time

He is excellent and so knowledgeable! I come from far away just to see him, as he is wonderful.

Dr. Fortin took time to explain the results of my mri and what our next steps are. Excellent approach and bedside manner.

Very clear in his diagnosis and requirement for a good end result.

Dr visit good-answered questions. However- wrong diagnosis on my PT script & therefore wrong instructions-good thing I noticed as I was walking out. Also never called prescription in even though I double checked at checkout.

Thanks

Dr Fortin is very kind and friendly. He was very thorough and took time to explain things and address my concerns. His whole staff were great. I’d absolutely recommend him!

Happy with my appointment today. Everyone including Dr. Fortin was friendly, helpful and straightforward

The kindest and most knowledgeable man.

Very good experience. Timely, efficient office,Explained realistic expectations via future surgery for hammer toe. Gave “homework stretches” to help relieve pain , and bluster prevention.

The best. Great bedside manner and skilled. Makes you feel comfortable and confident.

Very knowledgeable and polite

Had to wait a little, Dr. Emergency with another patient. Ft

Dr answered all my questions, I did not feel rushed… I did not feel pressured to have surgery,

Very good

Great staff

He was very professional and did not agree with my first diagnosis as to a surgery. I was very thankful that I had a second opinion.

Best ankle and foot surgeon!! Always gives the soundest advice after listening intently to concerns.

Brilliant surgeon. Really understands the whole body impact of injuries or surgeries. Very supportive of post op physical therapy to help regain optimal health and function. Highly recommend

Very friendly and professional staff and doctor! Thank you

Dr. Fortin fully explained my condition, the proposed surgery and potential outcomes.

He's the best!!!

Great surgeon! Very personable and listens. Good “bedside manner”. He doesn’t beat around the bush and will be very honest with you. Would highly recommend him.

Was so pleased with his down to earth friendly manner.

With experiencing previous ankle surgery I was scared to hear what he'd find. But he said my bones are fine, and we'll just do some more testing to determine the cause of my foot pain.

Thorough and no nonsense.

Very helpful. Thank you. I APPRECIATE your time that you took with me.

Very kind, compassionate doctor. I believe he is the Best in his field, both in terms of his surgical skills and knowledge, and in how he listens to his patients.

He definitely knows his stuff!

Good straight forward and clear advice .

Entire staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Fortin is compassionate but straight forward in diagnosis and options for treatment.

I would highly recommend Dr. Fortin. I say him for an issue with my big toe joint

He’s always excellent

By far the best experience I’ve had while seeing an ankle doctor. I’ve been trying to find a good surgeon since my injury and Dr. Fortin was extremely professional and I could tell he really cared. Although this was only the first appointment I’ve ever had with him, I was very pleased with how it went. Fully intend to proceed with surgery

Made me feel comfortable and secure. Offered options for care.

Very knowledgeable and personable! I’m very confident with my decision on having dr. Fortin perform my surgery!

When you hear the name Dr. Fortin that is TRULY the example of what a REAL doctor is. He is Professional, Informative, Compassionate, Selfless, Intelligent, Humble, Listens to the patient, he personalizes things and is DEFINITELY SUPER DUPER NICE. Dr. Fortin's expertise of being a surgeon and his skills changed my life for the BETTER. There is only ONE Dr. Fortin and he is DEFINITELY in a CLASS BY HIMSELF

Anne lanni

Dr. Fortin is very patience. He is a good listener and offers understandable explanations as well as solutions. He is a skilled physician and one of the best in the area for foot and ankle issues. I am grateful to have him as my surgeon.

I am impressed by Dr. Fortin's thoroughness with both pre-op and post-op protocols. And, of course his surgical skills.

Great Dr. Very patient and informative.. Takes time to explain procedures and expected outcomes..

Everyone has always been courteous and the doctor has always taken his time to discuss any questions I have asked. I would recommend him.

He’s been treating me for many years. He saved my foot on many occasions. He truly is the best of the best.

He’s the best. Very professional and always keeps his word.

Excellent caring doctor!!

Great doctor

I have been seeing Dr Fortin for over three years for a badly damaged ankle. It had been replaced in 2004 and badly needed to be reconstructed. Dr Fortin did an excellent job of making it right. We had a setback but recovered and today I was told everything looked good! He’s a great doctor and talented surgeon! I highly recommend!!

Excellent explanations. No pressure.

Excellent bedside manor. He took the time to explain everything to me so I could understand and got me on the way to recovery.

Excellent surgeon!!!

Told me what the problem is a option. Direct to the point

I am more than encouraged with his approach to my issue

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Fortins for 11 years. He is excellent in his field. He is knowledgeable, great communication skills, talks to you, not at you. He doesn’t keep you waiting as if your time isn’t important. A+ beside manor. I highly recommend Dr.Fortin.

Dr Fortin spoke to me in a knowledgeable yet unjudgmental way.

Had to wait an hour

Dr. Fortin always provides clear and valuable information. Anticipatory guidance regarding what to expect going forward is very helpful. Answers all my questions.

A good job correcting my foot problems. He is very personable and professional.

I’ve had 3 complicated surgeries with Dr. Fortin. He is the best. Saw him today for a broken ankle. Top Notch as always.

Very professional very well spoken. He helped me understand what my surgery was and how extensive it was. He was very patient and didn't rush the appointment

Dr Fortin is great! Very knowledgeable and takes time to answer questions.

Great Doctors and staff.

He’s the best foot doctor you will ever find..great doctor very professional

Could not wait to get out of the door and to his next pateint.

Excellent surgeon, both in terms of skill, and personally. He really listens to his patients, is very kind and calming.

Very professional, and thoroughly answered my questions.

The office and surgeon are top notch!

I consulted with Dr. Fortin after my foot totally collapsed. My original foot doctor felt the injury needed a more experienced surgeon. Dr. Fortin was very open, blunt and honest about my injury and what could be done. 10 months after surgery, my foot is healing well beyond any expectations at this point. He will be my "go to" doctor for any future foot issues. I will and have recommended him to others.

Dr. Fortin is a genius and not only is he always professional but just as nice as can be. He’s our foot and ankle doctor for my Mother, my husband and has done 3 successful surgeries on myself. Thank you Dr. Fortin !

Have had great outcomes of the surgeries he has done. He is really caring and gentle. His office runs like a well-oiled machine...very efficient. Would highly recommend him.

As an orthopedic surgeon he's a 5 star; as a communicator and personable and approachable person, a 3 star. He falls short in the personality department.

Very outstanding surgeon. Extremely gifted in his profession. I'm genuinely appreciative of the outcome that he had a hand (or two) in. Thank you and God bless you doc!

Personable, friendly, attentive and an efficient communicator, while instilling confidence in his excellent care.

Great visit, very upfront and friendly

It’s been a patient of Dr. Fortins since 2018, did a lot of surgery to save my foot/ankle/leg. It was a tough & painful. He is a talented surgeon, honest, doesn’t keep anything back. Several family members and friends are also patients, we are very blessed to have him in our life.

Very knowledgeable, easy to talk with and excellent bedside manner. Dr. Fortin explained everything about my condition, diagnosis and what had to be done in order to make it better.

Takes the time to answer all questions and does not rush. Very knowledgeable.

I always enjoy seeing Dr. Fortin. He’s extremely professional and easy going. I appreciate his honesty regarding the need for surgery, and I trust his expertise. He did a beautiful job when I broke my ankle, and I have had no problems with it since then and it has been 5 to 6 years. I now need some more surgery for a toe problem, and I would not use anyone else! Thank you Dr. Fortin, your work is completely appreciated!!!

Dr. Fortin not only is a wonderful surgeon but he and his staff are very aware of our entire needs (emotional/mental & physical) and he listens, and also is so observant that he makes recommendations in all areas - personally I am happy to say he has saved my life with no exaggeration! I recommend him fully!

Doctor Fortin was very knowledgeable and very considerate of the patient's feelings and is willing to work with you to make your life better

Dr. Fortin was very personable. It was my first visit. He made me feel very comfortable.

Very patient, kind, gives great explanations and does not rush. Excellent bedside manner.

Dr Fortin has worked really hard to repair my ankle. I know he has my best interest at heart.

I am glad I visited this Doctor I appreciate how he explained what is going on with my foot. Thanks for being straight forward and telling me what is going on so I understand.very polite and understanding Very politecand understanding

Dr. Fortin is an excellent doctor. He spends time with his patients and explains things very well. He did an ankle reconstruction surgery for me and my ankle is doing great. I’m able to move and function with much less pain than before surgery.

an amazing man. he offered to come in on a Saturday to perform surgery on my foot just because he was concerned about the time that I had to wait because of Schuiling. A+++ MAN

I appreciated Dr. Fortin's honesty and recommendation re: orthotics. I'm hoping that will be a solution. Thank you.

Very prompt, quick and love the new facility!

I felt he was extremely dismissive and as a physician I will certainly not be referring any patients to him or ever come back to this office.

Very professional, straightforward medical advice. Excellent surgical outcome to address a very serious issue. Would recommend to anyone to deal with foot or ankle problem.
