Patient Reviews
Dec 24, 2024
Dr. Forsythe has been monitoring my shoulder for several years. As my shoulder continued to degrade, we finally decided to perform a full replacement. I work out daily and needed a device that supported my active lifestyle. He suggested a newer device that claimed to be unrestricted in movement after recovery. The surgery went well and I am still in the recovery phrase. Dr. Forsythe is great physician and listens to patients. He has scoped my knee and my friend's knee. I highly recommend him.
