I just met the doctor for the first time he hasn't done any work with me yet but he made me feel very comfortable and he seems to be very confident in what he can do so I am going ahead with the procedure with him and feel that everything will be fine

Dr. Forshaw performed surgery on my cervical spine doing an Anterior Cervical Discectomy with Fusion. My experience was all positive pre and post op. He was patient with all my questions and made me feel very comfortable under his care. I healed without difficulty and progressed well. I would heartily recommend Dr. Forshaw , I have complete faith in his abilities.

I highly recommend Dr. Forshaw. If I ever need another neurosurgeon, he is the one I will go to. He was kind, patient and compassionate while explaining my diagnosis as well as the procedure. I never felt rushed with him as he always gave me as much time as I needed to have all of my questions answered. And most importantly, he did an amazing job with my surgery.
