Patient Reviews
Mar 27, 2020
I have been a patient of Dr Forrest since May 1995. He treats me for my glaucoma. Even before I was a patient myself I would take a elderly friend, my grandmother and my mother for their visits to him, he has never failed to impress us with his knowledge and professional care for us. Also one of sisters is a patient of his for a couple of years now, she says she chose to go see him due to my praise of him over the years, Dr Forrest helped my sister with her allergies and with Dr. Farris even to get her prescription for her eyeglasses correctected whereas Americas Best had failed her greatly. Dr. Forrest and his staff are friendly and always helpful. Dr Forrest always walks me to the front desk after my exam, his smile is reassuring!! In my humble opinion he is the best in his field and I wouldn't want to think I would have to see any any different Ophthalmologist. Also is convenient to me to go to his office in Cleveland Georgia when possible. Thank you Dr Forrest!!!
