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.

I can not say enough good things about Dr Forester and his staff! My 4 year old wouldn't even open his mouth for the adult dentist we first went to but warned up the Dr Forester's office with no problem. He had 2 cavities filled and they did amazing! He recently had a fall with trauma to the teeth and they got us in right away! Such amazing place to take your kids!
