Dr. Douglas Lee Forman, MD

Dr. Forman and his team are top-notch professionals who treat you with the utmost respect, professionalism and care. Each appointment started on time, his team of nurses were kind, professional, caring and helpful. Dr. Forman is a master at what he does surgically-- but unlike many surgeons and specialists I have encountered, exhibits compassion and empathy for his patients in a way that makes you feel cared for body, mind and spirit. My surgical experience with Dr. Forman was 5-star from start to finish, and I would trust him and his staff to treat any of my loved ones with the same 5-star care.

Dr. Forman performed reconstructive surgery on me after a bilateral mastectomy. He and his staff rendered excellent care before during and after my procedure. I was cared for by him and his staff with utmost dignity, love, and concern. I can not recommend him and his staff enough to anyone. There is no need to shop around-you will arrive in the best place should you select Dr. Forman. He is a true mentsch.

Experience, professional yet personable doctor with equally exceptional team of staffs. Second individual in my family to have this procedure with Dr. Forman. He also customized this procedure for me verses my husband to give me more beautiful looking eyes!

I am a month post-op from an extended abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) and extended mastopexy (breast lift, no augmentation) with Dr. Forman. He was one of four plastic surgeons in the DC area that I met with to adjust my skin after losing half my body weight. He was far and away my top choice among the surgeons because of his professionalism, skill and openness to answer all of my questions. Both before and after surgery, he and his staff have always responded quickly and professionally to my concerns and fears. I feel well cared for on every level. I also really appreciate Dr. Forman's honesty and experience related to how to best adjust my multi-layered needs after losing so much weight. After 30 years of stretching my skin and muscles out of shape, Dr. Forman explained what he could do and what may not be possible considering the amount of extra skin that I had and the loss of skin elasticity with age. His goal was to improve my contours, remove the excess skin and tighten my… abdominal muscles. I had hoped to have more areas of my body "fixed" in one surgery to save time. He explained that the more areas my body had to heal at once, the more likely it was to have complications. I decided to trust his experience and I am so glad that I did. Only 4 weeks after surgery, the results are already amazing. My breasts are wonderful and no longer sag. While I still have some lower abdominal swelling, which is normal, my muscles are tight, the 2+ pounds of extra belly skin is gone and I have a small waist. Dr. Forman's incisions are beautiful and healing flawlessly and he was even able to fix other scarred incisions from past surgeries! Finally, I only have praise for all of his office staff and his team at the Sibley Hospital OR. They have made the experience easy from pre-op and financial planning to smooth recovery from a long surgery to gentle reassurance from his nurses and assistants. I am so glad that I chose to have surgery with Dr. Forman and plan to have another surgery with him in the future.

I'm writing this review over a year too late.. but never too late! I could have written this on day one after my surgery, because I knew right then the gift that Dr. Forman gave me would change my outlook to life. Over a year later, I can tell you even more confidently: Dr. Forman has so positively changed me, not just my boobs! Dr. Forman: You’ve given me boobs that I love! You’ve helped me regain my self-esteem and self-confidence. You’ve helped me love my body again.. with all its imperfections. You've put a permanent smile on my face -- a real one :-) not in a plastic surgery sense ;-) ... I wear my new boobs with pride.. I have a better posture and a better outlook and self-esteem, because I, myself (not just my boobs), now look up, not down... ! Dr. Forman -- you should know that you don't just give women new boobs to love.. you give us a chance to win the fight against the constant tide that puts pressure on women in society -- ironic as this may sound. You may not know… it... but you must be a feminist at heart :-) And to the staff at the office.. you are so incredibly supportive. You make the process ever so easy. We come in with baggage, self awareness, and a sense of self judgement... and because of you, we leave proud and feeling rather normal. Thank you! I love you all !! N.S.

Dr foreman is excellent! Will be recommending everyone I know! All the staff is very friendly and attentive and thoroughly answered every question I had. I am extremely pleased with my results!

Finding Dr Forman gave me my life back. He took a scary situation being diagnosed with breast cancer and gave me a new hope. I couldn't be happier with my experience and treatment. He listened attentively, was extremely kind and was very generous with his time. His expertise in his field was evident when he gave me all my treatment options and allowed me to make my own decisions. His confidence, kindness and compassion to me as well as my family before surgery and after surgery was wonderful. I now have a new confidence and I am very grateful to Dr Forman and his amazing staff for helping me to feel like a "whole" woman again.

Very happy with the results of Abdominoplasty and a breast lift.

Dr. Forman and his staff are just wonderful. They make you feel like they have known you all your life. I lost 100 lbs. 4 yrs ago and I promised myself that if I kept the weight off I would treat myself. It's so hard to loose the weight and look in the mirror every day and see the excess skin and Dr. Forman did a wonderful job from the consultation to the last post-op visit and so did the staff.

Dr. Foreman gave me a tremendous amount of time, guidance and options for my augmentation procedure. I returned many times to confirm my choices and he reviewed them with me. He listened and addressed my concerns. They surgery went beautifully. I woke up feeling good. He called to check up on me that night and the following day ( Friday evening and Saturday afternoon) I saw him Monday morning and my breasts were very clean and no bruising what so ever. I had follow up appointments every 7 - 10 days after. It is now 3 months after the surgery - my breasts are beautiful!
