Dr. Fortes and his colleagues cared for my mother during two separate inpatient admissions at AdventHealth, performing kyphoplasty on both occasions. From start to finish, the care was exceptional. The procedures went very well, and the physicians took the time to keep both my mother and our family informed every step of the way.
I also want to recognize Vanessa Wise, the care coordinator, who has been one of the most compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated healthcare professionals I have ever encountered. She went above and beyond to help us navigate follow-up care, coordinating referrals for rheumatology and endocrinology and keeping us informed throughout the process. Given the long wait times and difficulty securing appointments with specialists, her guidance, persistence, and genuine concern made an enormous difference during a very stressful time.
The entire team treated my mother with kindness, compassion, and professionalism. I am incredibly grateful for the outstanding care she received and highly recommend Dr. Fortes and this practice to anyone in need of spine care. read more
