Forrester Cheri MD

She has become a business woman instead of a doctor. I am just changing from her group to another in Marin. Not easy when the only choices are those in the Marin IPA. Speaking more globally of business people instead of doctors. more

I didn't have that great of an experience seeing her. She didn't have much personality, but she seemed to know what she's doing. My wife likes her because she also does gynocology and when there's been an emergency, they've been able to get her in right away. more

Dr. Forrester used to be a good doctor. I'd say in the last 6 years or so she has become a business woman. She packs in patients like sardines then rushes in and out of rooms, spending very little time with each person. What's worse is when you go to see her, unless you are the first appointment, you can count on an hour wait. Her staff smiles but they are not friendly. Diney, her nurse practitioner was good but is no longer there...wonder why. I had a condition that I went to Dr. F for at least 5 times but she couldn't figure out what was wrong, finally Diney ordered a blood test and I got a diagnosis. Too bad making $ is more important to her than patient care. If your health is important to you do not go to Dr. Forrester. more

I am not sure if Dr.'s offices do not feel they need to provide good customer service because there is always a wealth of sick folks out there that need a doctor, but I have a certain bad taste in my mouth when I leave a Dr.'s office and feel as if I was almost invisible while I was there. This is unfortunately the experience I had at this Dr.'s office. When I was leaving, I stood at the counter for several minutes before anyone even acknowledged me. Then, I was still wondering if I'd done everything I was supposed to before leaving. Especially when you're sick and not quite thinking straight as it is. I actually look forward to using Insider Pages myself to find a Dr.'s office in the area that I live in that values customer service even if you are sick and you have to be there, not of your own accord. I would definitely not say this is one of those offices. more
