Dr. Grace Forde, MD

Went to Dr. Forde yesterday she was rude, dismissive, nasty, and uncompassionate. Had the nerve to tell me that my orthopedist is an "idiot" in not so many words (she should be half the doctor he is) he's the best in New York. I guess any idiot can be a doctor obviously it doesn't take brains. She should have her license yanked.

Very patient with her patients by taking the time to listen.

And I'll never forget how mean-spirited and dismissive she was to me. This visit scarred me for life. Maybe she was just having a bad day, but I doubt it seeing as how at least one other person called her abusive. That's exactly how I would have described her, too. I don't understand why she wanted to be a doctor if she's not interested in listening or helping in any way. She wasn't just standoffish, she was actively rude and nasty to somebody who was scared and in a great deal of pain. When I nicely mentioned that I was thinking of getting a particular test, she yelled at me, GO DO THAT THEN! Huh? What kind of response is that? Such venom. She saw me for a minute or two, yelled at me repeatedly, and then just abruptly left. I was so bewildered and hurt. Can't believe I had to pay for such a horrible visit.

First visit I thought she was cold but professional. 2nd visit-quite friendly, asked about my family and shared many things about herself. very knowledgeable about my problem and quite helpful

Not only was Dr. Forde not compassionate towards me a patient in severe chronic pain, but she was abusive. She also did not help me or even offer me any treatment. She should have her license taken away!

Dr. Forde at first seemed highly knowledgeable but has been unwilling to assist me in my journey to find adequate pain relief. Having seen her three times. this last time I was turned away when it was noted that I could not receive the treatment she suggested due to allergies. I am extremely saddened given this new climate of anti opioids, that the one doctor who could have helped me with alternatives, has shunned me.

I have been seeing Dr. Forde for in excess of 20 years and she is a very caring and extremely competent professional who made my chronic pain resulting from a botched surgery manageable. I cannot say enough positive things about Grace who I consider a friend.

We were late for my husband's first appointment due to an error on my part thinking the scheduled time was later than it was. Dr. Forde would not even consider seeing him at that time, although he has Parkinson's Disease and is in a wheelchair. No compassion.

I've been seeing Dr. Forde for close to 10 years now. She is a gem.

I was treated by dr forde for migraine headaches, having been to her office exactly 2 times. The first visit was for a consultation. At the second visit, she knew nothing about me, clearly didn't bother to read my chart. Wow! I felt as if it was the first visit all over again. When she speaks to you, she. half listens to what you say. I waited over an hour to seen. That's just ridiculous. Also keep in mind the frequency of which she changes her office location, all over nassau county, unable to establish in one location. There are other doctors who are given outstanding reviews and really care about their patients...dr forde is definetly not one of them

Dr Forde is a brilliant Neurologist with the greatest bedside manner I've ever experienced in a specialist. I came to her barely physically functional. Between her vast knowledge and genuine compassion, she worked with me to find a treatment plan that affords me a quality of life I never thought possible considering the severity of my disease. I went through 3 years and over 2 dozen doctors who wouldn't even take an appointment with me because of how damaged I was. From my 1st evaluation until my most recent appointments, Dr Forde has made me feel informed to make smart decisions about our treatment plan, comfortable in discussing any questions, concerns, or changes that arise, and most importantly I have never felt judged by my appearance like literally every other person who doesn't understand that not all disabilities are visually apparent. She truly is excellent.

I have been going to dr forde over ten years and she has been the best dr I ever had, especially since my injury in 1993. She listens to you, she explains things when you need it. My daughter unfortunately needed to go to her for pain and she is only 14. She had MRI's done and dr forde draw the spine to show exactly how the tests results were reading. She is one of a kind and we love her! Oh and once I was hospitalized with unrelated problems and she came to see me! Don't know many dr's that will do that. ??

dr. grace forde. is a doctor who cares about the patient's pain. she is not like those illegal doctors. who just gives you the medicine for entertainment purposes only.. she has given me pain cream according to my pain. she has real conversation about your pain. my name is .. i recommend this doctor with a plus 5.

Beneath her tough and professional demeanor is a truly caring and kind medical caregiver. Dr. Forde is a no-nonsense pain management doctor who truly understands her patients needs and sincerely tries to help patients in chronic pain. Both offices run smoothly, and I have never waited more than half an hour to see her. Dr. Forde is extremely experienced and thorough. She offers me options to help control my pain -- options that are specifically designed for my lifestyle and terrible pain due to a permanent nerve injury. She is upbeat and efficient. I always look forward to meeting with her, and count on Dr. Forde's advice.

Dr Grace Forde is an excellent Dr. She takes the time to get to know the whole patient.

I have been a patient of Dr. Ford's for several years for migraines. Prior to that I tried 6 other neurologists and pain management specialists. Dr. Forde is an expert in her field and is always on top of the latest medication. She also fights for her patients if the insurance company declines a medication. I drive over an hour to see her but wouldn't go anywhere else!

outstanding doctor! She listens!!!!!

Excellent, compassionate, great listener, wonderful doctor.

I was supposed to see someone else for my back pain but pleased after I met Ms. Forde. She was concerned, informative and gave me a thorough examination. She gave me sound advice and was very professional. Have seen other doctors since, but none have been like her. Need to have my follow up with her.

If you have pain Dr. forde will help you. She believes what you say and will work with you to manage your pain. I have had pain from a spinal disease and she is the first doctor that I feel hears me and will work to relieve my pain. I do not wantr to take narcotics and she has worked with me to manage my pain with only the osscasional use of narcotics. I would and have reccommended her to others.
