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.

Went to see Dr Foeger, I am glad that I did. He was great. Explained what I had, went over the treatment plan. Wrote it out on a card. Usually I forgot or can’t say the word correctly. No worries it’s all there on the card. I wished all Drs did this. Great manners. His assistant Chris was also very good.

Life changing! Amazing!
From the bedside at the hospital, surgery room, and then his office, he has always been kind and patient while educating me through the surgery process and recovery. I have the absolute confidence in his surgical abilities.

Superior Doctor!
Dr. Foeger is an extraordinary physician! He is so kind, thoughtful, creative, and highly intelligent. My thumb issues are complicated and painful yet Dr. Foeger brings his vast experience into the office and operating room. I highly recommend him and will see no one else. I never leave feedback, but if I can help one patient find an answer to prayers, I’m glad to help!

My visits have been great. He’s a good doctor who is very knowledgeable and makes it easy to understand your situation. Very informative! I would recommend him to anyone who’s having the same problems as I am with my hands. I just wish I had of seen him a lot sooner than what I did. A good doctor he is!

Dr. Foeger
I have faith in Dr. Forger. He is a good hearted man and excellent physician. Very conservative in his approach to my issue. I knew I had been blessed with the right doctor when he told me his job was tokeep me out of the operating room as long as possible. I am blessed and thank Jesus Christ for placing me with the best doctor possible to treat my condition. I would advise anyone with a chronic hand issue to seek care from Dr. Foeger!

Thorough and Informative
He explained the x-rays very well and with examination found my problem. We’re trying the least invasive first and hopefully that will take care of my trigger finger and the issues that come with. If that doesn’t work we have options. I like Dr Foeger and trust him to do the best for my hands.

What stands out most is the length of time I waited to be seen. While X-rays were done promptly, I waited in the exam room an hour and twenty minutes after my scheduled appointment time to be seen. No one checked on me, explained the delay or apologized for the delay. When the doctor finally arrived the exam was thorough and he explained treatment options. It was accomplished in 15-20 minutes.

Fantastic!
For an 11am appt. there was maybe a 5 minute wait after check-in. Then called back for health history with a nurse, X-rays, and Dr. Foeger came in immediately. One after the other; everyone was very efficient. Dr. Foeger has great bedside manner. Explanation of my problem was thorough, answered my questions, and I came home with a written plan. Nice guy who does real doctoring and isn’t on a computer during the visit; uses pen and paper for notes! You couldn’t want a better doctor.
