Dr. Forbes operated on my husband when the ship doctor sent my husband to Mount Desert Island Hospital in Bar Harbor, ME. She was caring and very compassionate and did an excellent job on my husbands' incarcerated inguinal hernia. She took the time to explain everything to both of us. We are from PA and it was quite a stressful situation for both of us, but Dr. Forbes put us at ease. Thank God she was there! We could not have asked for better care.

There is no Dr. like Dr. Forbes. She is passionate and caring and nurturing. That other clown, Dr. Balder has the worse bedside manner and I have asked to be keep away from him. Dr. Forbes knows her stuff. She is tough, but she wants us all to succeed.

No Joke, that's what they call me....Dr. Forbes did an outstanding job on my gastric bypass. Can't say enough good things about her. I just happen to be one of those paitents that "could happen" happens to.... But all in all, I lost 184 lbs, look and feel great and would do it again in a NY minute. To bad I moved down south, I lost a great Doctor.
