Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Competent, but can easily become combatant
She may be a competent technician but is a poor communicator and can easily become combatant if challenged. She does not like to communicate via the portal and makes that position clear. Will never use her again!

Wow, I've never met a more unpleasant, condescending, trite, human being in my life. I wish my old pulmonologist would've accepted my insurance still so I never had the unpleasant fortune of running across Dr. Foster. Like all things hershey med it appears all they are interested is running as many tests as possible to charge insurance as much as possible. If you can find somewhere else go there and be treated like a human being and not a walking cash register!

I originally chose her based on the reviews and after seeing her a few times, it wasn’t worth it. She spoke down to me both times and the staff wasn’t friendly. I will be finding a different office.
