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.

Dr Foster & Dr Palma back 10 years ago coming up this October did a liver Trans Plant on my wife and shes doing very well today thanks to these exceptional Surgeons. Although Dr Palma has departed they are both the best in Liver Transplant here in San Antonio, Texas. Thank you for her life from the both of us.

Dr Foster is a very talented surgeon who gave our family the best of help and care through my liver transplant 2.5 years ago. Can’t say enough about the level of care we received and continue to receive at Methodist Specialty Transplant Hospital in San Antonio TX Dr Foster was excellent in every way, though our only experience was through the transplant and after care in the hospital. We saw the other members of the transplant team after being released from the hospital.
