Patient Reviews
Apr 04, 2024
Dr. Forthman was very professional and knowledgeable in regard to explaining my options in treating my arthritic finger. His instructions were clear and helpful. During my 40 plus years working at various medical centers in a clinical and non clinical role I would recommend him without hesitation.
