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.
So caring.

I always have problems with "the system" to get in: Although I had pre-registered on line I had to wait in line I had to wait in line to see a check-in person, then wait again some 8 minutes because I was "too early." Once I got in things went like clockwork. I was prepared and protested right away
. Dr. Foster came in after a few minutes for the drops to work. Dr. foster explained his diagnosis, what he planned to do that day, his prognosis, and what the next step was. I got my treatment (A shot in the eye) at which Dr. F is an expert. It was literally painless. The whole process took about an hour
. It was a pleasant visit.

Dr. Foster did a detailed review of the retinal imaging data and followed up by looking at the eye. He found a slight hazing in the membrane behind the lens. The injection went well.
