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.

The best Dentist this 62 year old has ever had!!!
Had many dentists during my 62 years and Dr. Forbes is the absolute best! He and his staff were professional and were attentive to my questions and concerns... I hate needles but his techniques with numbing swaps and very fine syringes allowed me to experience only minor discomfort with all the procedures he has performed. I highly recommend Dr. Forbes and his well trained team of professionals!!!

Avoid this office
Dr. Forbes bedside manner made me feel uncomfortable, as he told me he is not God when it came to fixing my teeth. Very inappropriate and rude. The office management is extremely unorganized. Spend the extra money and go to a different dentist office. You get what you pay for here.

Hit or miss. I also saw him snap at his staff. Their billing was not good either and they turned me over to collections for a procedure that they billed incorrectly for.

Dr Forbes and his staff are an excellent group for dental care. Examinations with follow ups are thorough and complete. When questions are asked, clear explanations are given. All is painless!

Very professional and conscientious of my comfort and anxiety level. Both Dr Forbes, and his staff worked very hard to ease my anxiety. Dr Forbes was very nice and I felt absolutely no pain when I had a cap done or when I had an implant placed. Their prices on an implant are better than all the other places I checked and Dr Forbes did an exceptional job. I highly recommend!

Terrible bedside manner. He snapped at me and was ugly to his staff. This was on more than one occasion. I feel sorry for anyone who has to work with this man. I will not return!
