Patient Reviews
Apr 16, 2023
He is unbelievable smart and warms a room because he is just a big teddy bear. My husband asked, at my first visit, "should I call her family " (they're in Boston) I had been in and out of the hospital for about 5 months. Every doctor kept telling me to see Dr. Forsmark. I waited painfully for that appointment for 2 months Dr. Forsmark response? "Give me a little time with her." I had lost 90lbs in 9 weeks from chronic pancreatitis. Long story short, I went home on a feeding tube. Within one day, my life changed. I had not eaten for weeks on end. He saved me and gave me hope that he has my back! (April, I didn't forget you girl! Shout out to the awesome staff back there and upfront!
