Report
I was looking forward to working with Dr.Forrest because I heard they were very LGBT friendly. This is a very important thing for many people, and I am glad Dr.Forrest is helpful to the community.
However, I couldnt reach Dr.Forrest when I needed to cancel an appointment. Several voicemails later, I attend my appointment was told my options were pay $200 for the missed appointment, or seek treatment elsewhere.
