Patient Reviews
Mar 03, 2018
I had developed a serious health condition a few years ago. I had no primary care physician so I searched for one in the Newton, NC area. I saw that Dr. Forshey had great reviews so I made an appointment with him. He diagnosed my problem and sent me to the specialist I needed. Since that time, I have continued to see Dr. Forshey and have come to appreciate what he does. He is very knowledgeable but at the same time very friendly. I thoroughly enjoy visiting with him. He is the best!!
