About this business
My objective is to provide high-quality urological care in a sympathetic way. My focus is to apply current knowledge of the relevant urological disease processes in order to help resolve these problems as they become manifest. I am honest and try very hard to satisfy the patients with efficient care, attempting to resolve the problem as noninvasively as possible. We utilize mostly medical but sometimes surgical methods in order to help diagnose and resolve urological problems. Sometimes, problems cannot be altogether resolve... read more

Had surgery for a simple issue and ended up with three problems as a result. He told me that the chance of my problem as a result of the surgery was less than 1 percent. I was told by the surgeon that I later saw at UVA that it was in the 30 percent range. He was very callous and uncaring after he botched things. Looking back, I realize that he not listing himself as a being credentialed as part of the American College of Surgeons or Urology. I am writing this only to help future patients.
Dr. Fortenberry is absolutely wonderful! He was the on-call doctor when my husband had complications from a kidney stone during a weekend. It was more serious than we thought, so Dr. Fortenberry met us at the ER, compiled a surgical team, and stayed until he was able to perform the necessary procedure- all on a gorgeous Sunday evening that he should have been spending at home! His bedside manner is great- he listens, answers all questions, and shows compassion. I couldn't be more grateful to him
Dr. Fortenberry performed the biopsy and after an aggressive cancer was confirmed, he ordered the bone scan/pelvic cat scan. The office never called to review those results or formulate a game plan. I left two messages with the front office that we wanted his opinion on a course of action and our call was NEVER returned. Thankfully, we are proactive and got into UVA immediately with the help of contacts.
Dr. Fortenberry was referred to me my my family doctor. He was absolutely super in helping me sort through a rising PSA problem, including a prostate biopsy that was totally painless! He then went the extra mile to refer me to some other doctors so I could better understand all the treatment options. A very dedicated professional who took the time to help me. His office staff was also super to work with - responsive, cheerful and knowledgeable. I highly recommend him and his practice.
The two bad reviews here are good examples of why one should be skeptical of Internet reviews. (Yes, that advice also applies to me, but I would be happy to discuss my experience with Dr. Fortenberry with anyone who emails and requests a conversation — jsr@jsr.net. Briefly, my experience could not have been better — immediate appointment, prostate surgery scheduled and performed within a week, outstanding outcome and support, incl cell phone for pm/wkend questions. Email me if you want more...
This whole process could have been very unpleasant but it was not at all. Successful procedure, pleasant all the way around.
I had prostate cancer which terrified me. My wife said to get a second opinion but I wanted immediate resolution, a big mistake! This man not only DOES NOT LISTEN but is a horrible surgeon. Due to this doctor causing a huge infection I had to seek out one to fix that! BEWARE! My new doctor told me Dr. F had been in his group and knew exactly why I wanted to change doctors!! Arrogant and in a rush to discharge you, more interested in how many surgeries than care! I am on FB, contact me~!
Business response:
This is quite aggressive, I am limited as to any specificity in responding. As stated there was a complication which I regret and am always willing to support to see it resolve. When complications occur we do our level best to give support to see a good outcome. If rapport breaks down, it is patient prerogative to go elsewhere but that's not what I want. I'm sorry for the stated complication but I don't believe this is in any way fair assessment of care from myself or staff involvement.
Fantastic, caring doctor. Superb surgeon. Went the extra mile (I had surgery on Friday and he met me at his office on Sunday morning to get my catheter out!) Recommend without hesitation - he's what a doctor should be!!
Those two bad reviews have convinced me to write this review. I'm not sure what Doctor they saw, because other than why I was there, I had just had one of the best specialist Doctor interactions I've ever had with Dr. Fortenberry. He was very informative, thorough, willing to discuss my questions and concerns - and his staff was noticeably professional and knowledgeable. He even called me personally with follow-up information. Please see Dr. Fortenberry with complete confidence.
