Very personable and great communicator
Very professional, thorough, and great at explaining everything.
He is the best Doctor were have ever had. He fights for the recover when things seem hopeless. He surely goes the extra mile and never gives up on a patient even when the patient begins to lose hope. Excellent surgeon and "all around good guy".
Kind; explaining cause. of condition and treatment options.
His Nurse was rude to me before I even got in the office. I had to ask to Please be patient with me. I go back and she was rude to me and said that there was no images. I couldn’t convince her I had already seen even in another EmergeOrttho Dr Foster came in angry with he from the start. I agreed that I misunderstood what they were saying. I said you are not listening to me. Thing is, I’m very ill with many autoimmune illnesses MCTD/scleroiss.. I’m in pain most the time Plus I’m not the one getting paid to Assist patients, you don’t help a hurting person by being condescending. The check out ladies were nice. Dr Foster finally changed his attitude and was nice. I thanked him for that and left. X-ray technician was very nice.
Dr. Foster was kind and empathetic during my visit with him. He listened to my concerns and took them into consideration when forming a treatment plan for me.
Very thorough
Dr Foster spent time making sure that I understood my conditions, as well as the treatment plan. He was well informed of my conditions prior to our appointment. Very personable and used terms for the lay person (me)
I really liked Dr. Foster. He explained what my issue was and why. He listened to my questions and answered them all. And he is pleasant!
Dr Foster is a compassionate, experienced, and highly skilled surgeon.
