I have suggested to a[omitted] in [omitted], [omitted], that she make a special trip to [omitted] to see Dr. Forgette. Need I say more?
-
Dr Forgette is one of the top Optum doctors. She is outstanding. The care that I have received from her over several spine issues has been excellent. Because of her attention to detail and her advocacy for me as her patient, I have now received a diagnosis from a specialist she referred me to (in Optum) that will keep me from experiencing challenging outcomes in years ahead.
-

-
Dr. Forgette was thorough patient kind and explained everything in great detail.
-
Dr Forgette is amazing...very thorough and helpful.
-
My appointment with Dr. Forgette was one of the best physician experiences I've ever had.
-
Dr. F's thoroughness and contextualization of both possible things wrong and processes for treating impressed me.
-
Dr. Forgette had reviewed pertinent documents related to a major health issue spanning many years. I was not only impressed, but also so grateful that both of us had a foundation to aid our first in person appointment. It also meant we could move to the possible treatment possibilities more effectively. Again, I felt well taken care of.
-
Dr. Forgette is probably the most thorough, detail oriented doctor I have ever worked with, and I had seen her a few years ago. She was able to remind me of why I saw her and what was said at that time. One thing I really appreciate about her is that she listens carefully to her patients. That doesn't happen sometimes with other doctors. She takes copious notes and reviews them carefully to cover what was discussed in the appointment. I will be starting with physical therapy, and she mentioned other options if that didn't work. I prefer the least invasive, and appreciate knowing that there are other avenues to pursue.
-
I especially like having test results issued to patients immediately.
-
Either she actually reviews my chart right before or she has a great memory because It never seems like she never needs to stop in a visit to review what happened last time. And she remembers a lot of little details which is impressive and appreciated
-
Dr was awesome.
-
Solution to my pain during adductor exercises was to send me to PT for some of the same exercise. Keep trying things that don't work. Refused to order MRI to diagonse me accurately even though I offered to pay out of pocket.
-
Dr Forgette is the perfect professional: gifted diagnostician, good listener, careful, thoughtful examination.
-
I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Forgette to other people
-

Excellent care
-
Dr Forgette was AMAZING. She listened, she had all my records with her to review, she was EXTREMELY helpful showing where my pain radiated from, why it was doing so, etc etc. She did not miss a single beat. I have already told a handful of people about my experience with her. I felt heard, I felt compassion and I left with a crystal clear path forward. She is a doctor you are very lucky to have in your group.
-
Dr. Forgette was fantastic - I felt like she thoroughly evaluated me and did excellent patient education.
