I took a circuitous route to becoming a physician.  An ophthalmologist changed my life when I was 3 years old and was fitted with glasses. I could finally see. As a child, I dreamed of becoming an eye doctor to help other children.  Many years later, my pediatrician also had a significant impact on my life.  He was interested in my physical, emotional and mental well-being and safety.  When I enrolled in medical school after several years as a stay-at-home mom, I fell in love with the practice and rigor of Pediatrics and have never looked back.

Dr. Forbes and her family live in Flower Mound. She is a native of Dallas, Texas. She enjoys yoga, bicycling, reading, traveling, cooking, fashion, entertaining, and attending football games.  She is a fan of UT and the LA Chargers.  Dr. Forbes is very interested in social determinants of health. She is also interested in using exercise as a tool to benefit emotional and mental health. She is the proud mother of a daughter who is a doctor pursing pediatrics and a son who is leisurely pursuing his undergraduate degree.
