Dr. Foster listens to you when you come to him. He emphasized with the patient and tries to see the problem through his own eyes. Fantastic! I'm excited that he gives honest answers and makes you feel heard.

Very happy with the visit to Dr. Foster. He did not rush me at all, gave me an opportunity to ask questions and more follow up questions. He then explained, complete with drawings, what is happening and the course of treatment he recommends.
