Dr. Forrester is excellent I really enjoyed talking with him. He was having a very long day and he explained why he was late to which my wife and I understand. Just wish the receptionist or his support team could have informed us what was going on so my wife and I didn't have to wait in a closed room for an hour and 20min. Before we had to ask what was going on. All they could say was they were trying to figure it out. One even said they didn't know we were in there waiting.
