I was very apprehensive having to find a new dentist since relocating to the area. The first dentist I tried was horrible.
I have been at this office for a year or 2 now. Every staff member is so kind and helpful. My hygienist is amazing. I'm sorry her name slips me right now. Just had some work done by Dr Williams. I didn't feel a thing. When the anesthesia wore off it was like nothing had been done. He is very personable. His assistant was so kind and dedicated to making sure I was doing OK the whole time.

My Dental Visit was amazing from beginning to end! The lady who checked me in was named Becky she was so sweet and welcoming. Knowing I was nervous she took extra time with me to make me feel better! Then the assistant that was helping the doctor was AMAZING she was there to make me feel more comfortable then ever! Then the Doctor….I have always seen Dr Fortner but this time I needed to see Dr Williams he is a very impressive doctor he was very comforting and even contacted me after my appointment to make sure I was ok! I will for sure tell everyone I know about the best dental office ever! See

I recently switched dentists and I have been very happy with Dr. Fortner and his staff. They have invested in top of the line equipment. At my first visit, I was most impressed with how thorough they were and kept me informed through each step of the new patient evaluation. The safety protocol has been well thought out and executed. I highly recommend Dr. Fortner's office. Tina A.

Having a relationship with a Dentist and the entire Staff of a Dental practice is a very intimate decision for me....Trust, care, compassion, empathy, and goodwill all qualify as attributes of such a relationship. I have found all those attributes in the relationship I have with Dr. Fortner and his entire staff of caring professionals. So my guidance to anyone who is looking for a caring practice that you can feel really good about can all be found in abundance with Dr. Fortner and his Staff. Thanks Don and Everyone! Client for life I am!

I highly recommend this Dentist office! They have always went above and beyond to make sure I feel comfortable and well taken care of. I have been going here since I was a small child and have always appreciated the excellent care they show me. Recently I have been seeing Dr. Williams for my dental care and I honestly cannot speak highly enough of him in just a few short words. I suffer from horrible anxiety which is always heightened when I'm in an exam chair, and Dr. Williams always makes me feel very cared for and cared about as his patient. He takes his time with me and always answers my questions

Dr. Fortner is by far the best Doctor I’ve ever met. I was having horrible tooth pain last week and over Mother’s Day weekend. I called every dentist within 30 miles of my home. The earliest anyone would see me was a month out. Dr. Fortner took the time to talk to me and treat me all while he was celebrating his anniversary with his wife. His office is so welcoming and comfortable it really felt like I was at home. He met me right away, no waiting. He assured me from beginning to end that he was going to take care of me and he did. I was so amazed at how he was able to work on my tooth with
