Dr. Fortson is an active instructor for ENT residents at Emory and General Surgery residents at Morehouse School of Medicine. These affiliations allow him to keep advanced head & neck surgical skills sharp and provide exposure to the newest advances in patient care. This shortens his office workweek, but he remains available and reach-able for urgent patient issues. The staff is in office 5 days per week.

A Surgery or Test Scheduler will discuss the process with you in order to make sure your scheduling needs are met. PLEASE ALLOW 7-10 working days for her to contact you. At that time she will arrange to get you all the paperwork you need and may ask that you see your Primary Care Physician in order to get a medical clearance prior to your procedure. The office will apply for your prior-authorizations and provide your insurer with as much information as possible to gain approval for your procedure.
