Down to earth doctor. Tells it like it is!
Very professional courteous
Spent maybe 5 minutes with me and never even gave an exam. Told me that this is going to be a lifelong back pain I need to learn to live with, but also tried to make it sound like it wasn’t a big deal because I was only hurt a month ago. Ignored me when I tried telling him how much worse the pain has gotten in the last month and all the things I’ve done to try and help. Told me I was making him feel bad because he feels helpless because he doesn’t know what to do for me. I left the appointment in more pain then before I went and with no solutions or answers.
Wait time was long
Very personal yet professional. I felt like a heavy weight was lifted from my shoulders after my session with him
Very good surgeon! Great bedside manner. Would highly recommend him for others.
The best!
Dr. Foster listened to my description of the problem. Reviewed imaging and examined my ankle carefully. He explained the problem in detail, as well as the treatment options. I never felt rushed-which was such a welcome surprise for an orthopedic surgeon!
Very knowledgeable and his profession and made me feel very comfortable in his decision for my diagnosis
Professional, courteous, took his time with me to listen to my concerns.
