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.

I reccomend
Dr. Foster is a caring and knowledgeable physician. I have been under is care for 24 years, and he has done the research for strange symptoms I have while other doctors have dismissed them. His staff is hardworking, will always answer my questions and have returned my calls promptly. I think that often patients ate rude to them.

Horrible Staff
Dr Foster is a fine doctor, but some of his staff are rude. The german sounding women and office manager both treated me terribly.

My experience with Dr Foster was great with the exception of the VERY RUDE STAFF excluding Donna the office Manager. Good luck with other rude incompassionate staff.

Love Dr. Foster. He always listens to your problems and gives great advice. The reason for 3 stars is his office staff. Every time I call, no one EVER answers the phone. I have had to call and leave message after message with no call back. I have even had to come into the office to get info that could have easily been handled over the phone! Shame on poor customer service.

Dr. Foster is completely trustworthy and honest. I have been his patient for many years. What I like about Dr. Foster is he listens to all my issues then makes recommendations. Any new patient will be thankful for a competent professional.

Dr. Foster is kind, compassionate, intelligent, and takes his time when he sees you. It can take some time to get in to see him, but to me that means that he has many patients that trust him and want to see him too! Dr. Foster has been caring for me for 2 or 3 years now, and I have also worked with him in a Skilled Nursing Facility as one of the RN's there. He not only has an amazing bed side manner, but is also kind and funny to work with. I cannot say enough positive things about this man. Thank you Dr. Foster!

Dr. Foster is awesome! He is very funny and understanding. He listens and takes the time to help you with all your issues. He is great with my kids and i love his staff. He has helped me find a lot of problems that i have. Without him I'd be a mess and have poor quality of life.

Dr. Foster is one of the best physicians I have ever seen. He caught a life threatening illness that a previous health care provider had ignored. Dr. Foster saved my life.

I really like Dr. Foster, although appointments are rarely available within 30 days; however, I love the walk-in option. Wait time is never short, tho.
