Meet Dr. Michael Foreman
Before I became a pediatric gastroenterologist, I was a patient in the pediatric gastroenterology clinic. I was diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease when I was six years old and - despite struggles early on in the course - soon began to passionately pursue a career as a physician.
Today, I am proud to be a husband, a father of three, a son, and a pediatric gastroenterologist. I have the unique experience of now getting to practice alongside the man who served as my own pediatric gastroenterologist! I consider myself incredibly lucky for his friendship and mentorship throughout my career. I am also very grateful for the love and support of my family and other colleagues as I chased my dream!
I enjoy serving my community as a general pediatric gastroenterologist, and take special interest in inflammatory bowel diseases, but also any chronic intestinal disease that may inflict a child - both inflammatory and non-inflammatory. Through my training, I also developed my expertise in clinical informatics and optimization of electronic medical records.
In my spare time I enjoy playing with my three children (Barbies, Pokémon, and coloring are our current favorites!), taking my wife to a musical, playing tennis, and investing in friendships. If you happen to see me enjoying some quiet time, I'm likely to be reading the Bible or listening to - or sometimes playing - almost any kind of music.

Dr. Foreman & The Office: I just can't say enough good things about this office. Dr. Foreman was amazing from our first encounter in the hospital and during our phone conversations. He always explained everything in depth and answered questions clearly. My daughter liked him from the start and feels truly comfortable talking to him about her UC. I was extremely surprised how confidently she sat up and talked to him at our appointment. She is comfortable talking to him about a very sensitive topic because he cares and it shows. I want to give kudos to the whole office-any time I called, I received a quick response. Everyone cares so much and it really shows; even when the staff had to reach out to the doctor on his day off, I still got a call back within an hour. I cannot put into words how amazing everyone has been. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts you have been god sent!

Dr.Forman was Wonderful!! He actually takes time to listen and cares about the patient. Most days the drs are in an out a don't take time to listen. It's really appreciated an important to me as a mom for drs to actually take the time to listen to concerns from my child an or me. Good doctors are hard to find these days an I just want to thank him for his time. Staff is also very nice as well. Also the nurse came a gave us her personal card if we ever needed anything to actually talk to a person directly, which is wonderful!! Automated can be such a pain. That says A lot about the Dr a staff. You can tell they enjoy what they do and are genuinely happy! Wait times are amazing and love that Dr Forman try's the easy routes first instead of directly going straight for a scope. He works great with kiddos a knows how to get kids to answer the questions he asks. Ex like explaining what there poop looks like. He helped [...] out to get to the answer he needed. It's very impressive to see how he interacts with the kids a the wealth of information he's filled with. I only have Great things to say an would definitely recommend him to All family an friends for sure!! Keep up the Awesome job yall are doing!! Thank you so much for helping me and my daughter figure out something to finally help her out instead of passing the buck onto someone else it's noticed and appreciated!! God Bless an have a Happy New Year!! Please share this with staff team an Dr. Forman. Thanks so much!!!

Our first visit was nerve wracking not know what was to come from it. The moment we were called back the nurse was amazing and sweet, Dr Foreman was very informative and I appreciate that to much. The paperwork given at the end with the summary was helpful to remember everything. Using the website to look into the medications and summary visit was pretty awesome and extremely helpful.
