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.

She saved my quality of life. She did what was best for ME, rather than say things like "But you MIGHT want to have kids someday" like so many doctors do. She listened to me, and is a great surgeon. This was when she had a private practice so it's a bit different from now.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Forsythe?
I've seen Dr. Forsythe for 19 years. I've always been cheerful and courteous even when her nurse Corinne has been unpleasant. Corinne was rude and disrespectful to my sweet mom who came with me for an appointment. She was unbelievably unprofessional. I was very ill and couldn't drive. She continuously called me from different phone numbers and tried to shame me into coming in. Dr. Forsythe is fine but I recommend finding a different provider since you have to deal with Corinne if you go here. :(
