This is the best experience I have had with a provider at Samaritan over the ten years I have been a patient at Samaritan.
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.

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.
The doctor demonstrated a great depth and breadth of diagnostic and treatment experience and understanding.
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.
