I might have the date wrong but it doesn’t matter, I’ve been a patient of him for years. He cared for my mother, my father and now myself. The staff works hard for all the paperwork put in, appointments are always accommodating and are professional. With a constantly professional presence, Dr Forohar is always, and pardon me for this, hands on. Makes sure he’s there for your whole appointment. He’s one doctor I always look forward to! Thanks!
