I had my first visit with Dr Forrest in 2024 for a routine checkup. She was very easy to talk to and made me feel comfortable with any questions I had. I have already referred her to a family member.

I had a total hip replacement in November and my surgeon Dr. Burnikel is amazing. He is so friendly, easy to talk to and patiently answers questions. Many thanks to Dr. Burnikel and his office staff as well as the surgical and medical team.
