Dr .Forte is super. Knows his stuff! Warm, personable and reassuring. Did my husband’s hip replacement. Spends time with his patients. I went to him for hip pain and he quickly diagnosed the problem. Fortunately, no need for surgery. Anti-inflammatory and physical therapy. Provided other options for quick pain relief, but recommended that we treat conservatively for now, and hold off on the other (less pleasant) options, if the conservative treatment doesn’t help. I have already recommended him to friends of mine, and they, too, have been impressed. Definitely an A+ orthopedist!

I fell at home, had a nice ride to the ER(freezing), and then when the time came Dr.Forte was my surgeon. I felt comfortable with him when he introduced himself and I knew I was in good hands, with no doubts. He explained exactly what he was going to do after he and his team knew where the break was. After one year and lots of physical therapy I am as good as new. I would highly recommend Dr. Forte.
