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.

Dr. Forfia is an excellent physician and literally saved my life.

My husband has complications from a Liver TIPs procedure. Severe breathing complications when we 1st met with Dr. Forfia who stated "I can fix this". Such relief with such a bold statement. Since then my husband no longer is on 24/7 oxygen-he is not on oxygen at all and hasn't been for months. As a result of Dr. Forfia's keen insight and instincts and of course expertise he has literally breathed new life into him.

Dr. Forfia is tops in his field and tops in my opinion. Every contact I had with him was professional and warm. His office functioned so well and responded to my needs. His ease with patients and their families is unusual as he explained everything I should expect, responded to each and every question, and was always available when I needed him. Fortunately he has assembled an excellent team at Temple University Hospital offering hope to many who have had no hope in the past.

Brilliant physician! My father came to Dr. Forfia with a mixed and confused diagnosis. Dr. Forfia spent significant time with him, gained a true understanding of his condition and explained in simple terms what he felt was going on. He showed true compassion and care for an elderly man who was scared and unhappy because he couldn't walk 5 steps without feeling out of breath. With Dr. Forfia's medical plan, my father saw the first improvement in his symptoms in years and is finally smiling again.
