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.

No professionalism is in this doctor or his staff. Extremely rude, do not know how to interact with people with TBI's. He seems to want you in and out, just do as little as possible to collect money from insurance. He offers no helpful advice or explains anything. If you are running over fifteen minutes his staff member knocks on the door to let him know time is up. Many patients talk slower and need a few minutes more, but he doesn't care, nor want to know more. Don't recommend him at all! Find someone who knows their job and wants to help their patients. This person is a jerk, he knows it and doesn't care that he is.

I met with Dr. Forrer several times over several months after a car accident. I learned some helpful things from him about the nervous system, found our interactions uncomplicated, succinct and professional, and would not hesitate to see him again if I had a need.

AWFUL. Dr. Forrer refused to sincerely listen to my concerns about my TBI because there was a lawsuit involved (filed against the entity that caused my injury). So instead, he treated me like a child, and didn't take me seriously. I told him my concerns about the possibility of having a seizure, and he literally laughed at me. I ended up having a seizure a few months later. He was so disrespectful. I was disgusted. Found a fantastic neuro after him, THANK GOD. Worst doc I have ever seen. Ever.

Dr. Forrer lacks empathy. His directions are not clear and he provides false information. He puts patients in danger by stopping medications cold turkey when it can cause serious side effects. His staff is verbally abusive, yells at patients and talks about problems with Dr. Forrer's practice in front of patients, including legal problems. It is hard to get a hold of anyone at the office as they do not answer the phone or make call backs.

His tone of voice was hostile and adversarial during medical/health history questioning. While testing my reflexes he became so harsh I classify it as abusive. His excuse for not performing the EMG test, the only reason I made the appointment, alternated between saying I was in too much pain and saying your nerve damage isn't bad enough to warrant this test, your just having anxiety. When I tell most patients it's all in their head they normally don't come back.
