Very thorough and got right straight to the point. It was my first visit but I was impressed because he was trying to help me ASAP instead of like most Doctors or Surgeons don't try to make decisions at first. They want to string it out while you are hurting. Mr. Foster got the ball rolling and I'm impressed and would recommend him to anyone

He was very good at explaining everything to me and mindful of how I might interpret things. The appointment was short and sweet but I will definitely be happy to go back to him if I ever need his services again.
