Dr Forfia is one of those Doctor that care and always looking for your best interest. I had a RHC done with him it was easy and every time was asking me if I was ok if I was comfortable.

Dr. Forfia is a amazing doctor. I have been his patient and he found the clots in my lungs and got surgery approved for me. He was so kind to my family and myself. He went out of his way to talk to me, explaining everything. He answered and explained things to me. He gave me the feeling that he cared so much for me and wanted the absolute best for me. I have been a patient in many hospital and have had many doctors in my lifetime but I truly believe that Dr. Paul Forfia is the absolute Best and that Temple University Hospital was just Wonderful. A Great Hospital and Surgical Experience. I would highly praise this doctor and this Great Hospital!!

He was late and rude. He treats you like you have no right to question him and his nurse always seems to be yelling at you. Expected more from Temple. Won't go back.

He kept me waiting a VERY long time. When I didn't agree right away to what he wanted me to do, he seemed angry and talked down to me as if i were an idiot. Would never go back!

I' ve been treated by Dr. Forfia since 2009 for Pulmonary Hypertension. I found him, as well as his staff, caring, responsible, interested in me as a person, helpful with treatment options, good at giving me specific answers to my questions. My appointments are always quick, on time, and the Dr. spends as much time with me as I need. No wait time to be seen, in fact I usually arrive early and am seen before my appointment time. His nurse practitioner is available on the phone and always calls me back promptly!

Uses patients as an experiment. Horrible bedside manner. It's his way or the high way. Denied me of life. Rejected me from the heart and lung transplant list. How despicable, cant believe this man could be so heartless to someone who is hanging on to life by a tread and has been such a loyal patient to him.

In today's world the patient is part of the team. I can't believe that choose to see him. Dr Forfia was rude and dismissive.
