“Dr. Fortanasce's experience in orthopedics, neurology, and psychiatry at the mecca of spine pain at U.S.C. and Yale (Institute of Living) makes him unique in diagnosing and treating spine pain. His help has been invaluable to my patients... The brain has a marvelous power to muster up its own internal medicine to prevent Alzheimer's disease. This book will show you how. I highly recommend the book The Anti-Alzheimer's Prescription as good preventive medicine.”
- William Sears, M.D., author of The Sears Parenting Library Series & Prime Time Health
“Few authors, if any, who have written on this subject, have the broad training in neurology, psychiatry, and rehabilitation that Dr. Fortanasce has. His approach to "the spine risk factors is novel.”
- Joseph P. Van Der Meulen, MD, past Chairman of the Department of Neurology at the USC University Hospital
“Dr. Fortanasce's book End Neck and Back Pain is the perfect game plan to diagnose, prevent, and treat spine pain. Both my wife and I know.”

-Sylvester Stallone, Movie Actor
“I suffered for one and half years with terrible pain and burning dry mouth. I saw 7 specialists for it without any relief. Dr. Fortanasce spent time with me listening. He discussed that it was the medication given to me by other doctors that was causing the problem. One week later I was a new person. Dr. Fortanasce is a doctor that listens and cares.”
-Cecil Silva
“I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you for your medical series on avoiding Alzheimer's disease. I must confess that I was concerned as I approach my old age, that I did not want to become a burden on others, and lose my mental faculties . . . Your tips on Alzheimer's have guided us in several life changes, especially in food selections . . . However you went so much further than just to discuss Alzheimer's in your lecture series. You introduced the subject of cancer, back surgery, joint replacement and the like. Never have I, in an hour or so, become so well informed on these subjects. At the risk of sounding overly complimentary, your program is fabulous. I have never before been given so much information, discussed in an understandable (non-medical) way.”
J. William Stinde

“Dear Drs. Fortanasce, Barton, and Staff,
From my family and me personally, a big sincere thank you for all the good care you gave to me. Words can never express my appreciation that I have better health today, can get around and I'm able to drive. I especially enjoyed the D.E.A.R. meetings. Thank you that I have my life back. You folks are the greatest and I love you for your efforts.
Thank you thank you,”
-Dale Swiatek
