Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Answering service
I have been trying to set up a telehealth visit for my mother with Dr Foto since June. Who ever answers my call will say I’ll give him the message, I never get a call back and most of the times they don’t even answer the phone. My mother needs a med refill and she’s already behind a week. I’ve been calling and calling his office every day even the pharmacy has been sending faxes with no success. He’s been my mother’s doctor for years and he’s a good doctor but getting through his office is a disaster.

Excellent Rheumatologist
Dr Foto is professional and a compassionate Doctor. He explains everything in easy laymen terms so you can understand. His nurse Bonnie is very nice along with his staff. You can always reach him by email and he responds in a timely manner. I highly recommend Dr Foto to everyone

I've been to a few rheumatologists but since I found Dr. Foto I'll be his patient for life. He truly listens to your symptoms and does whatever is humanly possible to eliminate or relieve your pain. Since he originally trained in an emergency room, he knows the human body very well and knows how medications affect the body as a whole. He has improved the quality of my life tremendously.

I saw Dr Foto about 5 or 6 months ago - He did not rush me during our visit and attentively listed to my ailment. He recognized a rare disease (PVNS) quickly after my MRI, and promptly encouraged me to see various specialists. I cannot recommend him enough! Others have gone years without a diagnosis for this disease...I was very lucky to be his patient.

Had a visit on Oct 7th. The doctor acknowledged I had a big problem with psorriasis and getting there with arthritis. He promised to look into what may work for me and speak with insurance. It is now a month later. I called back 6 times and his assistant 'Alex' answered once and said he would call back to no avail. What a terrible experience when you know you need a refill and your doctor just wont respond.

Exceptional physician. Takes time to carefully listen to you before offering diagnosis. Explains medical condition and treatment in terms that you can understand and follow. Dr Foto speaks to you and treats you as if you are the most important patient he is seeing that day because at the moment in time you are. When you leave his office you feel that he is doing everything in his power to help you get well and keep you that way.

Horrible bedside manners. Not a nice person at all. Makes me cry every time I go to him. I do NOT recommend him as a doctor. There are too many that care and are polite and just as educated if not more

Dr. Foto was a breath of fresh air. He took his time to speak with me, go over my concerns and welcomed questions. He went over my treatment plan carefully and made sure I understood it before moving on. Best Doctor I have seen in a long time. :)
