Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Wonderful experience
I have had to have 6 root canals and a couple of apico procedures over the years. This root canal was amazing. Dr. Forbes new I was anxious and did not rush me. I never felt a thing, which has not always been the case. Should the need arise again I will not hesitate getting a referral for Dr. Forbes.

Very good experience
Staff very friendly. Dentist was great. Tooth felt better and I understood my options. Thought would be painful and I felt great when treatment done.

Amazing Dentist
I had a very painful tooth that my primary dentist said needed a root canal. or possibly extraction. He referred me to Dr. Forbes who recommended a root canal. I have only had one root canal before and it was a very, very unpleasant experience. So, needless to say, I was expecting the worst. Well, it was almost pleasant! No pain and I almost dozed off part way through. No joke. Dr. Forbes and her staff were efficient, professional and polite. I don't think the root canal could have gone any better. I'm not looking to get another one any time soon, but if (when) it happens again, I am definitely visiting Dr. Forbes. i can not recommend Dr. Forbes and her team enough. If I could give more stars I would.

If you have dental anxiety, Dr. Forbes is NOT IT
I had to see Dr. Forbes for a consultation on two teeth that needed to possibly be extracted. I told her right when I got in that dentists and dental stuff made me very anxious so if she could be gentle with her wording, that would be great. She took that and did the exact opposite. She came in and said "This is not good" referring to the x-rays. Both teeth need to be extracted." Turns out both teeth did not and that was reckless to say. As a dentist, you have a duty to make your patients feel comfortable and understand that not everyone is comfortable in a dental chair. Be kind. Put yourself in my (very anxious) shoes and choose your words carefully. I had ASKED her to be aware of my anxiety, and she blew that off. Of all the dental people in the area, I would just say: don't go see Dr. Forbes. She was just awful.

Dr. Rachel Forbes is an amazing endodontic dentist. She worked on me today doing my 1st step of a root canal. I was extremely nervous and her sweet demeanor put me at ease. She is smart, pleasant and knows her stuff. She put me at ease during my procedure and explained everything to me step by step. Also Her kind and professional personality made me relax and go through with the work. I couldn't be any happier with this entire office, from the front desk to all the people in the office. A++++
