How likely are you to recommend Dr. Forbess?
Before my son Brent was even born, we chose Dr. Forbess as our surgeon. We researched our son’s CHD and read a book _Walk_On_Water, which briefly mentioned Dr. Forbess. He was practicing close to us in Dallas at the time and he was able to perform our son’s Glenn surgery in 2015. We travelled to Chicago in 2019 for our son’s Fontan surgery and we were always impressed by his skill and expertise. We would follow him anywhere (except internationally). We only want the best, most experienced surgeons to work on our son’s heart. We are very happy with our decision to choose Dr. Forbess.
