There was a point in my life when I honestly felt like I had hit rock bottom. At 51 years old, going through perimenopause and struggling to lose weight, I felt frustrated, defeated, and completely lost. I was trying so hard, but my body just didn’t seem to want to cooperate. I was tired of feeling uncomfortable in my own skin and wondering if I would ever feel like myself again.
Then I found Dr. Fortino… and everything started to change. ❤️
He didn’t just look at a number on a scale. He took the time to listen—really listen—to my frustrations, my concerns, my struggles, and the goals I had for myself. For the first time in a long time, I felt heard, understood, and supported.
And I have to say, his staff has been absolutely amazing throughout this entire journey. From their kindness and encouragement to the way they always make me feel comfortable and cared for, they have been such an important part of this experience. Every interaction has made me feel like I’m not doing this alone. ❤️
Dr. Fortino gave me the tools and a plan. My job was to follow it, trust him, and trust the process.
And WOW… what a difference that decision has made.
Since September 2025, I am down almost 50 pounds! 🥹❤️
But the number on the scale is only part of the transformation.
I have more energy.
I have more confidence.
I feel stronger.
I feel happier.
I feel comfortable in my own skin again.
And most importantly, I feel like ME again.
Looking back at where I was when I started compared to where I am today is incredibly emotional. I remember how discouraged I felt, and now I look in the mirror and see someone who didn’t give up.
This journey has taught me that sometimes you don’t need to try harder—you need the right guidance, the right tools, the right support, and people who genuinely believe in you.
I will forever be grateful to Dr. Fortino and his incredible staff for helping me find that light at the end of the tunnel. ❤️
Almost 50 pounds down since September 2025… and this is just the beginning! 💪✨
If you’re struggling, feeling defeated, or wondering if change is still possible, please don’t give up on yourself. I know firsthand how hard it can feel—but I also know how incredible it feels when you finally start seeing the person you’ve been fighting to find again. ❤️

Great doctor and truly cares about his patients. Dr. Fortino and his staff take the time to understand your health goals and priorities. The Turnersville NJ office is where am a patient.

I love this office, I love this doctor, I love the staff, I love the front desk. My tirzepatide GLP1 treatment has been a miracle. My blood sugar is down. My weight is down. And I love the meal plan that Dr. Fortino set up for me. It’s manageable and delicious. Highly recommend this office!
Response from the owner:Well, this just made our whole week! ❤️ You have such a positive attitude, and reviews like this are a big part of why we love what we do. My team pours so much heart into making this a place where people feel genuinely cared for, so hearing it come through means more than you know.And you already know my philosophy: healthy should never mean bland or miserable. If it doesn't taste good and fit your real life, it's not going to last!
Thank you for the kind words and the big smiles. You're the best!

Dr. Fortino is very attentive and listens to your situation. He doesn’t go right to prescribing meds as other providers do. Office staff was very polite and courteous as well. I would highly recommend Dr. Fortino for your weight loss needs.
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to share this.
Your kind words truly mean a lot to Dr. Fortino and all of us. Dr. Fortino’s approach to caring for his patients has always been rooted in listening first, because everyone comes to us with their own unique circumstances, challenges, and health goals. Taking the time to understand each patient’s individual needs and goals helps determine the approach that makes the most sense for them.
Medication can certainly be an important tool, but it’s only one part of the journey. The bigger goal is helping our patients find an approach they can live with long term and move away from the ups and downs of yo-yo dieting. We truly appreciate your recommendation!

Can’t say enough good things about Dr Fortino and his entire clinical team!
My grandfathers blood sugar is lower, his blood pressure is lower, and he treats us like family!
We love coming to the medical follow up appointments! My grandfather is a Korean War vet and loves chatting with Doc about his years in the service.
Staff is friendly, office is clean, and Doc is one in a million!
Response from the owner:Thank you for such a wonderful review.

Dr. Fortino has been managing my grandfathers diabetes and blood sugar like a champ!
Dr.F gave us an easy to follow insulin resistant meal plan that my grandfather loves.
The regular medical follow up appointments are thorough and very personable.
Happy to report that his blood pressure is under control too for the first time in decades.
Scheduling the first appointment at Dr. Fortino’s medical practice was the best decision our family has made this year!
Highly recommend Dr. Fortino and his whole team!
Response from the owner:Thank you for such a thoughtful review.

Doc Fortino is simply the best. When you go to a doctor, you can tell the difference between those that truly care for their patients and those that just treat you like another number/15 minute visit. Doc is someone who has a heart, discusses your concerns thoroughly, and always willing to help or offer advice. I would recommend anyone to him in a heartbeat. Very friendly staff too and always clean. 10/10, he goes above and beyond for his patients.
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. It truly means more than you know.
Building relationships with my patients and taking the time to understand their concerns and individual life stories has always been one of the most rewarding parts of practicing medicine.
Knowing that you felt cared for and supported is the greatest compliment I could receive.
Thank you for placing your trust in me and my team—we're honored to be part of your health journey and look forward to seeing you again soon.
