Patient Reviews
Mar 29, 2022
I'm a current primary care patient of Dr. Foster. Due to work I've lived in many different cities and have thus had several different primary care doctors. Dr. Foster is the best and I can't imagine one being better. He is knowledgeable and very smart, patient, non-judgmental, and goes out of his way to ensure I'm connected with the best specialists available, even personally contacting them to ensure I receive prompt care. His bedside manner is phenomenal, and he applies firm yet polite pressure whenever I drag my feet on following through with procedures, etc. I'm thankful that I've found and have access to such a wonderful doctor.
