He is very personal and to the point. He makes his patients feel very comfortable and relaxed and includes family members attending the appointments. His bedside manners are amazing. He listens to all concerns and does not dismiss his patients concerns. He is a fantastic physician, and I cannot wait to continue care with him.

Dr. Fothergill handled the complication I had with my c section incision. He was by far the most knowledgeable and tactful about delivering information about what was going to happen while I was stressed out and worried about it. He has great bedside manner.
