Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences. The overall Patient Rating score comes from the questions on our Medallia Patient Experience Survey. Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.

- March 31, 2022 I've been to other eye doctors, and too often, I've felt shuffled through the process as a checklist item for the doctor to come in, see and send on the way. Dr. Forsey is efficient in his visit time, but in no way rushes through his time with you or neglects ensuring your feel confident in your eye health. I was 8 months pregnant when I saw him, and even though I wasn't experiencing any abnormalities in my site or discomfort, he went over every possible eye issue that can arise with pregnancy, just to ensure I wasn't inadvertently overlooking something that could be addressed. I really appreciated the time he took to go over everything with me.
