Excellent doctor. I have been a patient for over thirty years and some of my family members have also been his patients. He may run a little behind but that is because he listens to what you have to say and goes the extra mile for you. He called me at home after hours shortly before Christmas to give me good news from some test results as he didn't want me to worry over the holidays. Again he is an excellent and caring doctor. My only concern is that he will retire and I will have to see some one else.

This Doctor saved my life. 5's are not high enough for a Physician of this caliber.

One of the best doctors in town. Goes above and beyond to help out. Seems more like a friend than my Doctor.

Been a patient of Dr. Forsters since I was young. Very professional,thorough really goes the extra mile for you. If I had a negative comment it would be that he is a little cheap when it comes to authorizing tests that should be covered by MSP, most doctors I feel would not hesitate.

I've seen Dr. Forster for about 15 years now, and I feel comfortable talking to him about anything. He takes the time to really listen - hence the slight punctuality issue. I'm sure it's tough to strike a balance between the two. Even though he wasn't currently accepting new patients, he agreed to see my husband, and my husband is very pleased with the care he receives. Years ago I was on antidepressants and had moved back to Victoria after being in Toronto for a year. Upon my return, Dr. Forster had called around to 6 or 7 drug stores in the area to determine the least expensive store to purchase my medication at. He called me at home to let me know. That's service!

Very approachable doctor. The patient's own knowledge and input about their health is respected, and treatment is discussed rather than dispensed. He is a consummate professional--efficient but always positive. My only comment would be occasional abruptmess from the medical receptionist. I trust Dr. Forster.

My Dr is the best there is, but his new staff needs some training.

A great family Dr. He listens well, is thorough and refers when necessary. He is very proactive and perseveres until he gets to the root of the problem. A very personable Dr. with great 'bedside manner'. I would highly recommend him to anyone if he is still taking new patients.
