Philosophy of Care
Time & Attention
Time is the most valuable gift I can give my patients. That's why I spend 2–3 hours on every comprehensive examination. No symptoms are ignored.
True Listening
Every patient deserves to be truly heard. Too many patients tell me their doctor said everything was fine — even though they feel unwell.
Restoration
The body has an incredible ability to heal when given the right support. My role is to identify what's not working and provide the tools for restoration.

Testimonials
I highly recommend Dr. Forman. It was the best decision I ever made!
— Arturo Arca
When I first started with Dr. Forman, I was using my Asthma inhaler 5-6 times per day. Currently, today I haven’t used it once at all. Also, I used to have a lot of fatigue, which I no longer have.
— Ralf Heyer
I had nausea and vomiting for months. Nobody could figure out why. Dr. Forman was able to get to the root cause. As a result, I was able to do things I haven’t in a long time.
