Nov 15, 2023
He treated my husband after being diagnosed with CKD and he didn't pull any punches. He told him the way it was and actually made my husband finally listen to someone! He has now gone from stage 3 to stage one, thanks to Dr. Forero! This man is fantastic. I love that he tells it like it is and he is also a super nice guy and he actually listens to you! Thank you so much Dr. Forero! You're the BEST! We will certainly recommend you to anyone we know that needs a Nephrologist.
