If I could give negative stars I definitely would. Dr. Forrest diagnosed my son when he was 3 so we had been seeing her after that. Until one day she asked What school does he go to I said Lake hills. Then she said Oh the school with kids that nobody else wants. I was left empty of words but full of hurt and anger. Never ever again Id rather be dead than having her as my sons doctor. She should be ashamed of herself she does not deserve to be a doctor for children with special needs.

Dr. Forrest is a compassionate empathetic and highly skilled Doctor. She really takes the time to understand your concerns and answer any questions. Our family is truly blessed to have our son under her care. I highly recommend her above all other Doctors in her area of expertise.

She is just amazing. She sees both of my children and has for several years. She cares about her patients and is very knowledgeable. She always looks for all available options to come up with the best solution for the boys. She is always available for questions and the staff is super nice and accommodating.

If youre a parent thats feeling lost desperate to help your child this is not the place to turn to. Josephine the Office manager turned away my son after waiting months to see Dr. Forest who has over a 6 month wait. Why Because even though he was fully vaccinated he was missing his last shot because of a reaction to this and to other medicines. My wife called in tears begging her to please help guide us so we could help him and ask to just have us see the doc and if she felt it was ok we would do what she asked but instead of helping my son with his Issues it became a conversation about vaccinations which he has. They will say Its advent policy but there is no such policy as they never emailed it and every single other advent doctor has seen him. Its about power about control and about someone exerting their personal opinion that has nothing to do with actually help the most vulnerable among us. It has to do with patient rates to keep billing on par. To be fair Im sure forest is a good doctor but if a crying desperate mother of a potentially asd child doesnt matter to them Why should I trust them with my most precious gift. Shameful

Dr. Forrest is absolutely amazing. Its not easy to receive a diagnosis such as Autism for your child. Shes very patient with my daughter as well as myself. She is always very responsive to answer questions on the portal and has been an absolute Godsend to our family. Cant praise her enough. Highly recommend.

Dr. Forrest is a Godsend She is not only an incredible doctor but has the best bedside manner. My son who HATES going to doctors appointments asks to go see her.

We went to Dr. Forrest for an official diagnosis for my daughter. We had received the run around from so many Drs afraid to diagnose Autism. Dr. Forrest was so sweet and answered all of my questions. She gave my exactly what we needed for my daughters treatment and even followed up with me to make sure I got everything I needed. We will be moving away but will still be patients of Dr. Forrest as I know she is the best even if it means traveling. Well worth the wait for an initial appointment. Would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help with Autism.

Dr. is so busy she does not have time for you... My son developed a tic on the ADHD meds in March and we tried to get in ASAP to get this addressed and that turned into an August appointment.
