Really like Dr forshaw I would recommend him 100% awesome Dr.great bedside manner down to earth guy explained everything thing in detail about my back procedure

Dr Forshaw has been a lifesaver twice for me I had a serious issue with my neck in 2015 that ended up with an ER visit and I was lucky enough to get Dr Forshaw. Dr Forshaw spent a lot of time talking to me and answering the questions I and my family had. I had a fusion for C5 C6 and C7. Surgery went great and the recovery was long but I felt like a new person. Recently I was having low back pain and severe sciatica in my right leg. It was months and months. I decided to go to an orthopedic close to my work in Wallingford because I knew I would have to do a lot of therapy and figured it was close to work so I wouldn’t have to miss too much time. It was literally 3 minutes away and if I went to NOSS it is a 35-45 min drive. Big Mistake !!! The care was terrible if you even want to call it care. Once I contacted Dr Forshaw I got an appt in 3 days, he read my MRI and I had surgery 2 days later. Dr Forshaw is so kind and caring. I had immediate relief and he was wonderful.

Dr. Forshaw is such a fantastic neurosurgeon! He is straight to the point with no bologna. I suffered from back pain for so long but after my surgery, I felt better than I did in my 20's! I highly recommend Dr. Forshaw.

Competent, caring physician. He and Sarah Adams PA-C thoroughly explained my situation and what the surgery would accomplish. Happy to report that after just a few weeks I am pain free.

He is an excellent neurosurgeon. He is incredibly knowledgeable and took time to answer all my questions. I highly recommend him!

I suffered for 30 years with degenerative disc disease and I only wish I found Dr. Forshaw sooner. He is kind, thorough, meticulous, and very skilled and knowlegable about spine neurosurgery. 100% of my pain in my neck is gone after surgery.

Very thorough and honest .He said I would have no pain down my back and leg after surgery and it was true , no pain at all.

After limping around and restricting my life for almost 2 years, I finally decided to have the surgery. My life is now and there’s a lot more living to do. Dr. Forshaw snipped away that piece of disk pressing on the sciatic nerve causing crippling pain. Like he said, I was back on my feet that day. Painkiller free by day two and progressing everyday. Feel like a new man. Within 3 weeks I was walking 2 miles a day and enjoying PT. I highly recommend Dr Forshaw for relieving sciatica with the minimally invasive surgery.

Very personable Dr Forshaw thoroughly explained the procedure He was meticulous. Great staff.

Excellent all around - doctor, PAs, nurses, and office staff. I'm pain free for the first time in 30 years. Can't say enough about the experience. I would do it again!

Dr. Forshaw & Team - Sara Adams (PA), Caroline Mroz (PA), and staff were excellent in helping me solve my ruptured disc/ back and dealing with leg pain issue. Dr. Forshaw was not only very professional, but he did an excellent job with my back surgery and his team with my follow up. Strongly recommend Dr. Forshaw and the NOSS Team.

Dr Forshaw did an excellent job repairing my neck and both he and his staff took the time necessary to explain the procedure and post surgery. Never made you feel rushed and his confident attitude was very calming. Would highly recommend

Excellent Doctor, Listens to your questions. Very honest about what to expect . Excellent surgeon.

My overall experience was superb!! And I couldnt be happier with my results!! The quality of care received from consultation to surgery and through post-op followups have well exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Dr. Forshaw and his team.

Good surgeon , listener and very caring ! Very knowledgeable ! He has a very calming effect which puts the patient at ease . He does not rush you during office visit which I found very reassuring! I have and will continue to reccomend him to everyone !

I have been suffering for 10 years with undiagnosed auto immune disease. I finally after 10 yrs. recieved a diagnosis of spondylitis. I had an mri on my sacroilliac and nothing showed there, but it did show a buldging disc and osteophyte complex causing spinal cord compression and the ostephyte putting pressure on a nerve. I have read from reputable medical sites that this could cause my paralysis and numbness and all my neurological issues. I seen Dr. Forshaw recommend by my rheumatologist. He rushed the conversation, I didn’t feel like he was listening. Then he told me that this would not be causing my symptoms. Why did he lie right to my face? I have even read reviews of people with similar issues that recieved surgery. He then said you need to go back yo your rheumatologist, in which I replied, well he’s the one who sent me to you SO ……………

I was in need of a Neurosurgeon to correct a pain in my neck and numbness and tingling to the hands. I visited Dr. Forshaw and he was very pleasant and caring. He took the time to listen to my complaints and showed he cared. When it was determined I needed surgery, he explained everything in detail and made sure I had no questions. After surgery he visited me in the room and informed me of what he had to do and how he was pleased with the outcome. During my subsequent visits to his office, Dr. Forshaw, took the time to listen how I was improving and I never felt rushed or that I was just a number. He is a great Dr. and I wholeheartedly recommend him if you are ever in a need for a Neurosurgeon!

There is much trepidation when approaching back surgery. My situation was not pain but increasing numbness in my legs when walking or standing and was progressing in a bad way. Dr Forshaw made me feel comfortable on my initial visit. He carefully explained what was occurring. There is no medication to treat this. Surgery to remove the pressure being placed on my nerve endings at the spine or continued worsening of the situation. The surgery would remove bone from compressing on the nerves. He was very forthcoming in describing it would be painful for a few weeks. Somehow his delivery was such that I was no longer afraid to have surgery but looked forward to recovering and being normal. He and his staff were very pleasant and allowed me to make a decision with my wife. She also had concerns but was equally at ease with Dr Forshaw after he answered her questions. I am grateful for their professionalism and attention to my issue.
