I chose Dr. Forschner as my doctor after a negative experience at Metropolitan OB/GYN. My husband and I were trying to conceive and I was having problems with annovulation after stopping Depo a year earlier. Dr. Bevan at Metro seemed knowledgeable enough, but her ""bedside manner"" was severely lacking. I understand these doctors see many patients each day, but it's nice if they at least PRETEND they care about me.
I originally only was considering female doctors, but after that experience I decided that it didn't matter and I found Dr. Forschner through my insurance company and was pleased by the online reviews I saw.
I was very impressed with my first visit. He spent about 45 mins talking with me about what I had been experiencing in the past year and what I had already tried at Metro. He was very enthusiastic and is a great listener. I had randomly just got a period without any medication inducing it, so we decided to just see if I ovulated on my own that first month under his care, confirmed by a progesterone blood test. When the results were negative, he put me on a combination of medications that I had not tried before and typically aren't used for this diagnosis. However, I got pregnant right away!
I am now 3 months pregnant and every visit I've had since then has been great. I'm always in and out extremely fast, but without feeling so rushed that I can't ask the questions I have. Dr. Forschner was able to locate a heartbeat at 6.5 weeks, which was 2 days before Christmas, so it enabled us to feel comfortable sharing our happy news with our families while we were visiting them out of state. Also, his suggestion for my severe ""morning"" sickness was the ONLY thing that actually worked for me.
His demeanor and expertise make me feel very comfortable having him as my OB/GYN and obstetrician doctor and I'm very happy to be a patient at Rocky Mountain Women's Care.
