Patient Reviews
Sep 17, 2020
Dr. Foster is a great doctor. I was suffering from debilitating eczema, and instead of sending me off to a specialist, he made sure I understood what was happening, while calming my anxieties about other things that could be going on. He is super friendly. Sure he looked at me from the point of view of a clincian, and helped me solve my problem, but he also talked to me for such a good amount about life, giving me advice about a variety of things. He is really built for what he does, and he has helped me so much. I have suffered from eczema for over the last decade and more, and in under a week, he has been able to help fix my problem, and help improve my quality of life. i would recommend Dr. Foster. God Bless Him.
