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.

Extremely talented and genteel manner
Open heart surgery was never on my agenda. I couldn't take enough calming agents to settle my nerves over hearing that news. Met Dr Foreman for the first time and he seemed so calm and serene that I thought it might not be that bad. I went thru the surgery with no problem and never took a pain pill at all. What a 'wonder'. He simply has real god given talents and I am so grateful that I was in his hands. Also his staff has to be exceptional and just as talented. Thank you all!

Dr. Forman took the time to thoroughly examine my mom, show her test results and explain her procedure prior to her carotid artery surgery. She's 84 and he took the time to listen to her concerns. He visited her several times post surgery. AND when she landed back in the hospital for a completely unrelated cardiac issues, he and his team visited her and were a huge advocate in getting her an MRI when she really needed one and the hospitalist was on the fence. We cannot say enough about his expertise and excellent patient care- including his staff and physician's assistant Jeremy Melton. Excellent care all the way around.

I am so thankful that Dr. Foreman was recommended to me for my open heart surgery. He and his entire team; Brian, Jill, and the Administrative staff were professional, caring and compassionate with my care. Dr. Foreman made the effort to explain everything to my family on the day of surgery, allowed them to ask any questions and provided them answers, explanations and then provided support and full briefing after my surgery. I will highly recommend Dr. Foreman and his team.

I realized after I left my first review that I failed to mention Dr. Forman's staff. First of all, he is an outstanding surgeon. His caring for his patients is above reproach. His staff is equally the same, and the office atmosphere is very comforting, as well. Brian Hill, his PA, is excellent. He always has more than enough time to answer any and all questions. My experience was very pleasant for being such an unpleasant experience. I am so satisfied with the procedure and its outcome.
