Dec 2024Dr Forrester had no preconceived decision on my care and my meeting was treated as a true consult. He was extremely informative and listened to my questions and answered them to the best of his ability. He allowed me to make my own decision which I felt, fell within the treatment protocol he wanted for me.

Dec 2024I felt that Dr. Forster explained more to me about my health in 5 minutes than I got in my last visit with another doctor in this group did in 15 mins. Dr. Forster was kind informing and I felt he truly was there to help me. I wish that there could be more Doctors like him.
