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.

I went I to get my nose checked with him. He ended up sticking the camera down my throat for I don't know what reason. Then after he finished checking my throat he pulled out the camera viloently out of my throat. I was in complete shock. I couldn't even swallow food easily like I use to. I constantly chocked on food for a year thanks to this so called Dr. Right now in 2017 I'm still having problems with my throat thanks to this so called Dr.

Dr. Forest was wonderful. He was patient, caring, extremely gentle and was careful to explain everything he was doing throughout the procedure. I highly recommend this doctor. Even though the visit took almost two hours, longer than scheduled due to the severity of the problem, he was positive and reassuring, not rushed. Great Doctor.
