Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Incredible Doctor !
Dr. Forsh is an extraordinary physician with the compassion and bedside manner of an angel. Consider yourself truly fortunate if you or your loved ones are under his care. Dr. Forsh possesses a remarkable ability to put everyone at ease. In a time of crisis when my mother was struck by a hit-and-run accident, Dr. Forsh performed two emergency surgeries within one week. His expertise and reassuring presence alleviated the anxiety for my sister and I. Dr. Forsh’s exceptional surgical skills and genuine kindness have resulted in my mother's remarkable recovery—she's now up and walking, all thanks to him.

My experience with Dr. Forsh was for a hip replacement for my 88 year old dad. He is WONDERFUL! Very direct and clear. He was understanding and patient and explained what it was he had to do and he made sure I understood everything. Follow up and follow through the best I’ve ever experienced.

My first time meeting him was during my injury. Dr. Forsh is an amazing Doctor he was understanding but most importantly he was compassionate. He explained what it was he had to do he made sure I understood everything before and after. I wouldn't want anyone else doing any surgical treatment on me if they are not like him. He is AMAZING HIS WORK SPEAKS FOR ITSELF

I had elbow surgery six weeks ago with Dr. Forsh and am in arm therapy. I can compare my scar with those of others in my therapy group and mine looks better at 6 weeks out than most others at 2 to 3 months out. My therapist thinks the surgery was excellent, and I have better range-of-motion than her other patients who are further from surgery. St. Luke's-Mt. Sinai is disorganized and over-burdened and going in for check-ups involves fairly long waits; one does not get information as full as one would like, and my therapy prescription was initially mis-written. This is not Dr. Forsh's responsibility, and I know St. Luke's, having done volunteer work there. Dr. Forsh himself is unusually articulate for a surgeon, has a cheerful and thoughtful manner, and is a GOOD LISTENER. There maybe better hospitals in whose ER to end up, but I cannot imagine a better surgeon than Dr. Forsh. The anesthesiologist was terrific too.

Dr Forsh is one the best (if not THE best) surgeons you can get. He is not just a good surgeon but a great person, empathetic and highly skilled. He treated me for Lisfranc fracture, which is one of the most complex foot fractures and he did an amazing job, leaving me with a great recovery. He is very approachable, and very patient. I would highly recommend Dr Forsh to everyone.
