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.

Dr. Fornadel
I have been seeing Dr. Fornadel since Dr. Emily left. Hers were big shoes to fill but I have found Dr. Fornadel to be kind and helpful. I truly am thankful to have him as my primary care physician.

Dr. Fornadel is the best
Dr. Fornadel is a very mellow mannered doctor with his undivided attention devoted to his patient. He is a great listener and doesn’t get upset with my blood pressure numbers regarding my white coat issues. He gets it. He follows up quickly and dependably kind. I love Dr. Fornadel.

Your PCP Advocate!
I have several health issues and see other specialists. Dr. 'Brian' is the one person I can go to and get a second opinion and is the ONLY Doctor who knows all my health issues to help me make informed and intelligent decisions. He is not only a great listener, but I feel he is also my friend!

Very likely he is very knowledgeable and explains
He is always busy as most good Dr.'s are but yet finds time to explain your condition and what he plans to do about it. I feel very comfortable with Dr. Fornadel as my Family Dr. I can highly recommend him as an excellent Dr., if he is your Physician you are lucky to have him.
