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.

Takes a lot of time to clearly explain and answer all your questions, Very personable.

Dr Forrester is my Dad's Cardiologist. We met him when my Dad was hospitalized for what turned out to be Atrial Fibrillation. From the time that we first met him, Dr F has been courteous and thorough. He took as long as my Dad and I needed to explain my Dad's condition, and various treatment options. We've had follow up appts, and Dr F was patient with our numerous questions, and answered them in "patient speak". It's plain that he CARES, and we feel confident in him.

I must write this review on Dr. Forrester. I'm a 60 year old male that has been diagnosed with ventricular tachycardia. I have never had a more caring doctor or staff. True professionals. The entire staff is head and shoulders above anything else Wilmington can offer. I highly recommend this particular doctor for any heart related issues. Awesome job folks. Thanks for all that you do. God bless caring people like you all. Can't say enough. Keep up the great service.
