Dr. Frost showed concern and care in a personal professional way. He took the time to ask questions and listen to and answered questions of concern that I had.

Came in screened, wait in waiting room maybe 10mins, doctor was actually waiting on nurse to bring me back Dr. had great bedside manner, which is a thing of past. He was clear and understanding. Told you not your usual doctors appointment.

I made six two hour trips to try to get help for my low back pain. Saw Dr. Forest 1 time for about 5 minutes, the next 5 trips I saw a PA. In all they did very little to help me. My pain level is no better. I was very disappointed in Dr. Forest and the Southeaster Spine Institute.

I spent about an hour and a half waiting at my first visit and had X-rays and MRI's. I wish they had by passed the x-rays and just sent me on for the MRI's. I felt like I got an excessive amount of radiation to my body. On my follow up visit I never saw the Dr- just the PA which I felt was a bit of a slap in the face for the the amount of time and money it cost me (out of pocket- out of network for MRI's so that was $2200.) I'm not impressed and still in pain.

Time management isn't a strong point always 30 to hour late with appointment time. generally don't see him you have to see a PA I pay to see the doctor not a PA although the PA is good. His bed side manor and explains things isn't all that

Never punctual - acted like he was rushed and did not seem to want to answer my questions. Did not educate me on what was going on. When I asked him to explain, he told me to look at the picture(MRI). I am not a radiologist. Has no compassion. I can get this same treatment at a fast food drive thru!!
