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.

A true gem!
Dr. Fortune is a knowledgeable lovely professional. I feel very fortunate -sorry, couldn't help myself - to be her care!

My favorite doctor
I have been seeing Dr. Fortune for several years for headaches and other issues. She is by far my favorite doctor; I wish she could be my doctor for everything. She is very personable, thorough, knows me and my medical history better than any other doctor has, and she explains things well.

Professional and Personable
Dr. Fortune was thorough in her examination, it did not feel rushed, she asked questions and allowed me to ask questions. She explained everything in lay terms. She made sure that her office set up all of the needed follow up tests, making the entire process as carefree as it could possibly be.

Above and Beyond.
What more can I say about Dr. Taryn Fortuné. My mother has been her patient for over a year. Dr. Fortuné allows her to feel comfortable, heard and understood. Her professionalism, engagement and treatment of her patients is the Gold Standard of Care you want in a doctor. Dr. Fortuné also gives me as a caregiver a platform where my thoughts and questions can be discussed. In addition, her staff makes the appointment experience seemless with their courteousness, knowledge and efficiency!

Attentive, Excellent Communicator, Thorough
I cannot recommend Dr. Fortune highly enough. From the moment I entered her office, I felt welcomed and cared for. Her kindness and empathy are evident, making a significant difference when dealing with neurological issues.Dr. Fortune takes the time to listen to my concerns and understands how my condition impacts my daily life. This holistic approach is invaluable, as she gathers all relevant information to make informed, data-driven decisions about my care.Her communication skills are exceptional. She explains complex medical concepts in an easily understandable way and encourages questions, ensuring I am fully informed and involved in the decision-making process. I never feel rushed during appointments; instead, I feel valued and supported.What truly sets her apart is her outstanding bedside manner. Dr. Fortune cares deeply about her patients as whole individuals, not just cases. This level of compassion is rare and has had a profound impact on my journey toward better health.

Consistent Professional
I find that Dr. Fortune is professional and thorough. I had not been to her office for about 2 years and she had detailed notes about my issues. I was impressed that she recalled my travels and my studies. She listened to me with genuine interest. When it came time to discuss treatment options, I felt like I was an active participant in the process.

Best Doctor - Worst Front Office
Dr Fortune is incredible. She is knowledgeable, detailed, and helps to ask the questions you don’t know to ask for yourself when you arrive in pain. More importantly, she sincerely cares, like really cares about her people. I haven’t seen her in a couple of years and she remembered everything about my backstory, family, and health saga—which in itself is priceless to be a chronic pain patient and not have to tell your life story for the billionth time. Conversely, and I don’t know if it is understaffing, pay, other, but the front off staff is as rude and curt over the phone as they are in person. A warmer greeting for people with neurological issues is not a bonus, it’s a necessity for a practice that is helping people through some of the toughest ailments we would never wish on others. I recognize you have a hard job, but being kind, warm, and understanding is a big part of that. If Fortune wasn’t who she was, I would’ve gone elsewhere just on the negative tenor of the office staff.
