The clinician’s star review is based on surveys sent to randomly selected patients following care. The patient satisfaction survey includes five questions about a patient’s experience with their clinician with responses averaged for the star score. Patient comments are from the question "How likely would you be to recommend this provider to your family and friends."
Dr. DeForester was, by far, the best physician I've ever seen. Her level of interest in me and care for me was sensational. I totally understood the game plan when we left and felt that I had been taken care of better than anytime in my past from other doctors and care facilities. Thank you, personally, to Dr. DeForester for her time.
Great
My meeting with Dr. DeForest was the first time in a NUMBER of years I have had a positive experience with a doctor. She was patient, LISTENED to my concerns, her communication regarding concerns was excellent and she clearly described her decisions as to care options.
This was a wonderful experience! The clinician show genuine care and understanding for my questions concerns and really helped me process everything with an educated and confident mind and intention
I've been looking for a doctor like this for most of my life. She actually listened to me! I'm so impressed.
By far Dr DeForest is excellent. Took time, was thorough, much more satisfied with her than previous doctor.
Really like Dr. DeForest. It was a great visit!
My first visit with Dr deForest. I wa extremely impressed by her attention to me. She was very thorough taking my history and doing a physical exam. I couldn't be happier with my new doctor.
It was okay and not too stressful.
I have never had such a personal care provider. Sarah De Forest is remarkable, personable, "warm," friendly and compassionate. She "digs deep" (pardon the expression!) to find solutions. I give her an A+.
Because she took the time to question me, we found an additional treatment that may be of help to me.
