Dr. Foster was a very nice and I think he knows his stuff.
I was very disappointed because there's nothing that can be done for my condition.
I'm upset with the other Dr. That referred me to Dr. Foster. I was told that I would be seeing him possible injections.

I’ve seen Dr. Foster on previous occasions, regarding similar issues (ankle pain). He has explained my issues in detail and why they are occurring. He is very personable and friendly! And knows how to explain this patient’s issues in layman’s terms making it easy to understand the how, why’s and the heretofore on my particular issue! And always provides a solution that will (and has) relieved my ankle pain! Thank you Dr Foster!
