Description of Work: Dr Forbes did a great job in removing a basal cell carcinoma from my nose. It healed with no visible signs. His bill was high; glad I did not have to pay out of pocket.

Description of Work: Dr Forbes pulled a tooth. Virtual pain free procedure. But the cost was awfully high very costly. In all for one tooth it was almost 400 dollars too rich for my blood.

I got to know about him by word of mouth. He keeps himself very current in his field. I think it makes a big difference in dentistry whether or not the dentist uses the latest techniques and keeps himself current in terms of his education. I would continue to use him in the future.
Description of Work: Dr. Forbes is my dentist. My last visit was for a cleaning.

Description of Work: This appointment was for basic cleaning and exam. The hygienist was friendly and thorough with the cleaning. Dr Forbes was prompt and friendly. He has been my dentist for over 10 years. When I needed a rootcanal 4 years ago, he was compassionate and concerned with my comfort before, during and after the procedure. I will continue to use his services.
