"Everyone was welcoming and warm-hearted. They all took great care of me."
This is just one example of the feedback CMG Forest Women’s Center receives from patients. Time and again, patients share stories of kindness, respect and exceptional care from every member of the team.

Recently, the Forest Women’s Center team was recognized for their outstanding commitment to delivering an exceptional patient experience. Forest Women’s Center has achieved a 100% Top Box score for “Likelihood to Recommend,” meaning every patient who completed a Press Ganey survey gave the highest possible recommendation. The team has also maintained a year-to-date percentile rank of 99, reflecting the trust and confidence patients place in their care.

From the first phone call to schedule an appointment through check-in, nursing care, laboratory and imaging services, provider visits and checkout, the team consistently goes above and beyond to ensure every patient feels valued, supported, and cared for.
