Dr. Donald Forest, MD

Gross Dr Forest is midget with communication disorders. It is his fault no matter what.

Dr. Forest is a good doctor and no non-sense doctor, he does not waste any time yet he does not rush. He treats you like a human being not a number. We wish more doctors care and spend time with patients needs like Dr. Forest!

Best Doctor ever after 63 years. So happy with him.

You can't please all the people all the time. I like him! He is thorough, patient with me, and doesn't give me that look that most give me when I have trouble following directions. I like his staff. They get referrals and medications filled quickly. I was with 2 other very inefficient docs during the pandemic (which is still going strong) but was lucky enough to have a friend tell me about Dr. Forest.

Seeing him is a 6 month process. They only text you about your appointment. Then charge $45 for missing an appointment. When I mentioned that the prescription didn’t work well, I was told to “ take 2 then ; when the prescription was written for only 1! So when I run out 1/2 way through my prescription was never addressed! Very snotty people work there, I never felt cared for or listened to. Can’t wait to change!! I have terminal cancer, and they didn’t even know. They want me to come in for checkups! I’m checked by RMCC every month. They don’t know or care! Just come in for your checkups and we’ll collect the money.

Had Dr Forest for primary care for several years. He’s a very nice person, and has a good bedside manner. Staff was good. Left mid 2018 after his PA tried to convince me to wait until a year was up so insurance would pay for labs. I was feeling terrible - run down and exhausted, and had been for a while. Dr Forest had just recently given me a clean bill of health (just overweight), but the exhaustion and memory issues were getting worse. Went to a different doctor a month later, and my B12 was down in the single digits. After that was made right, additional tests were done, and I also have early COPD and a hypothyroid. Feeling great now, and lost the weight, and am active. I just wish it had been sooner, and happened with Dr Forest.

Dr. Forest takes his time and is a good listener. He refers to specialists as necessary. His approach is serious but not alarmist. Both my wife and I and my mother-in-law have been seeing him for 8 years. Very happy with his care and the office staff, nurses and nurse practitioner.

I got an appointment quickly but that was the end. After seeing the PA I was told to come back in 2 weeks still in ill. When I asked if they give me something they gave me penicillin which I'm allergic to on two different fills that the pharmacist caught. No one even looks at any charts. It was filled out five separate times that I'm allergic to penicillin and they continuously try to give it to me at the pharmacy. Not going back no one pays attention.

Never have I ever been treated like a unworthy trash by medical professionals at all. Being in medical school and seeing how his office staff treats paying patients is sad and not okay. This office is filled with workers who are suffering from self importance and over grandiose of self. Take your business somewhere else where they care about their patients. I shouldn’t even say “take your business” because our health is not business, it’s our health and livelihood. But at this office you’re just another dollar they are collecting. Find a doctor that care about their patients.

I have been going to this office for over 20 years. I saw Dr. Chisholm before he retired about two tears ago, I am now seeing Dr. Forest. The last time I saw Doctor Forest was last week. I described what my ailment was and he gave me a good examination and listened to me. He advised me what to do to feel better. I felt much better the next day. The two PA's have also been very good to me. The office staff have always been helpful. I feel confident in going to this office.

Worst patient care ever. You’re better off at urgent care

Dr. Forest takes time for his patients and is easy to talk to. I am very happy with him and his entire office. He knows his stuff and is very helpful.

I've been a patient of Dr. Forest for over 20 years, and have received nothing but excellent treatment from him.
