My son just spent over a week at the hospital , and it was such a gift to have Dr. Fortunato treat and diagnose him. He is everything you could want in a doctor--professional, thorough, compassionate and kind. He is the gold standard.

Dr. Fortunato is a very caring, empathetic man, who exhibits a high degree of compassion in providing care for his patients. Although our son, who was 1st diagnosed with crohn's disease by Dr Fortunato, has aged out of pediatrics, we will always feel blessed for the care provided by him and his staff, especially Tiona.
