Featured Review See More Reviews

I saw Dr. Forrester because my PCP sent the results of my recent MRI to him rather than to Cardiology. He very kindly explained the results and took the time to make sure my assigned cardiologist was provided this information. If I had cardiothoracic surgery needs, I would not hesitate to see Dr. Forrester.…

“We were referred to the Heart In...”

We were referred to the Heart Institute by another provider. Your provider listened and immediately helped okay a colonoscopy before referring us to some other texts and another doctor, which we agreed to. Your provider needs more information before scheduling surgery which is what we expected. Surgery is not an emergency at all, but the heart must be monitored carefully from now on. Very clear explanations, listened to us more than the last provider and we are happy to be at the Providence Heart Institute. Thanks very much.

Several members of staff assisted me over the past 3 months including the appointment on the 2nd. I feel very taken care of and they always have a person escort me to either the next office I need to go to or how to find the exit. It's a very huge facility and I appreciate the consideration to not getting lost. The answers to my questions have been thoroughly answered. I have already referred people for care and shared my satisfaction with friends and family. Thank you.
