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.

Superior Quality
Dr. Fortes listened to my concerns, took his time in explaining the process, and did not rush my visit. I have been going to his office for over a decade and he is the main reason, other than the other amazing staff, that I recommend friends, family and will continue to go myself.

I came in for a lipo consultation. The doctor did not seem to listen to my concerns about not wanting to be cut open again. Rather he insisted that I "wouldn't get the result I wanted" if I didn't have a full surgery. Mind you, this was before he actually fully understood what I wanted. Additionally, he seemed to talk at me and down to me while simultaneously making me feel like I was wasting his time. It was not until he learned what I do for a living that he seemed to deem be worthy of his efforts. Finally, the location of the consultation is a random room at the back of a dentist's office left much to be desired. Based on these factors, I will not be booking with him.

After having my three amazing kiddos and deciding I was done having children, I sought out Dr. Fortes for a mommy makeover. I was able to schedule a consult with his team very easily and in a timely manner. The entire office staff from the front desk to his scheduling assistant were nothing but kind and professional. Upon meeting with Dr. Fortes, I explained to him my areas of concern and the desired aesthetic that I was going for. He offered sage advise and steered me towards a more conservative approach that he believed would give me the look I wanted, and with the most natural finished look. During my consult I not only was able to get extremely comfortable with the proposed procedures, I was also able to book my surgery date with out having a long lead time. From there everything went extremely smoothly, from my pre-op appointments to my day of surgery. I am beyond thrilled with the results of my breast lift and augmentation and torso liposuction. I was able to get rid of

Upon my 50th birthday I decided to take control of my menopausal figure and get a makeover. I selected Dr. Fortes due to a recommendation of a friend who did her breasts, my one-on-one with Dr. Fortes, interaction with the staff, and appearance and cleanliness of the facilities. I would not be disappointed! I elected to have 2 surgery events. The first was a breast lift and reduction (DD to C-), tummy tuck, fat transfer to the buttocks and lipo on my arms, inner thighs, hips and three areas on my back. 2nd surgery event 6 months later was eyelids, lipo of neck, stomach and outer thighs. The results are incredible! I am so happy and have more confidence than ever. I now look great in a string bikini which I haven't worn in over 10 years! I never lost feeling or sensation in my breasts which was a concern for me. Dr. Fortes' bedside manner is great. He listened to what I had to say and made me feel very comfortable. He quickly put me at ease and his staff is just as amazing!

Dr. Fortes is such a special person and a wonderful doctor. I wasn't sure exactly what I needed and wanted. He guided me through the process. I had multiple procedures and I couldn't be happier. He took time with me and explained everything perfectly. He checked on me after the surgery. Thanks to him for making the mirror my friend again.
