I have been Dr. Fortune’s patient since I moved to Tennessee 8yrs ago he is conscientious and friendly. He takes the time to explain everything in a way that can be understood by normal people. His staff is great and I highly recommend him.

I have been seeing Dr Fortune for years. My allergies and sinus issues were terrible. Finally after treatment and sinus surgery they are tolerable. I highly recommend Dr Fortune. I have sent family and friends to see him through the years as well.

Dr. Fortune has been wonderful with my kids. One had repeated ear infections that were quickly taken care of with tubes. Easy procedure that changed his life. My daughter had constant sinus issues making it hard for her to hear. Her hearing problems were effecting here speech as well. Once again, the issue was quickly resolved and we noticed improvements with her speech immediately! Can’t say enough great things.

Dr. Fortune has been my doctor for at least 6 years and he has treated me for a number of allergy and ENT issues over that time. I am pleased with his care as well as his staff over that time. I can recommend him to new patients seeking ENT or allergy care.

As a life long allergy patient and now one who developed asthma after Covid I couldn’t be in better hands. The office is very responsive and Dr Fortune takes extra time to listen to my concerns and works immediately to come up with a plan to get maximum relief!
