Patient Reviews
Apr 18, 2016
Dr Forrest has gone above and beyond for my brother,who spent 3+ months inpatient under his care. My brother was told he would never walk again, due to multiple areas of permanent spinal cord damage. With Dr Forrest's care & continued supervision, my brother has not only been able to walk short distances without assistance. But he actually has mowed the lawn with a push mower! The following year, my mother suffered a stroke and Dr Forrest has taken her on as a patient and we are thrilled
