Dr. Forinash is a fantastic doctor and mental health provider. He is actively present during sessions; knowledgeable, consistent, and thorough in supporting me as a patient with multiple mental health diagnoses and severe childhood trauma. Dr. Forinash is about treating the whole person and has also impressed me with prescribing the minimum effective level of medications. Highest recommendation!

Breaks appointments, then blames you for not being able to visit in timely matter. Don't go to him.

My family has been seeing him throughout some of the most challenging hardships. If your looking for someone who will listen and tell you how it is and give you suggestions and guidance to getting your life back his is the guy. Throwing pills at you and saying here is not his style. So don't drug seek here. This processional wants you to get better and will still be there if you stumble no matter how many times. Warning he gets harder on you at times! He says the things you might need to hear, but dont want to at times

Dr. Forinash is never the same way to me twice. One time is is for a medicine and the next time he isn't. He is always kind but is that sincere? I think not. I'm no longer comfortable that he has my best interest in mind nor does he truly understand how to treat panic/anxiety disorder.

Typical clinic racket. See the patient for 5 minutes, write a prescription and send him on his way so they can see as many patients as possible and make the most profit. Who cares about the patient, right?
