Patient Reviews
Nov 24, 2024
Dr Foster is the most attentive physician I have ever had. He takes time to get to know you and understand what you need. He never rushes you and genuinely concerned with your overall health. I have been going to him for several years after I got out the emergency room one night I went to visit him the next day and I really believe the Lord used him to save my life.
