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.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Foret and his staff. He has helped me so much with my sleeping issues over the last year and a half. It has not been an easy fix for him, in figuring out how to help me and getting the correct diagnoses. Nor has it been easy on my end following all the steps and advice from him, my issue was not and has not been an easy fix. Yes, it has taken some medication but it has also taken me following his direction to the letter. Great DR & staff

I think he is a very good down to earth doctor who has your best interest in finding out your problem who actually called on a Saturday with the results and discussed and went over my treatment options, you certainly don't find many that will do that these days

Dr Foret and I have 2 separate periods of association about 19 years apart. He was a thorough caring physician then as he is now. Dr Foret's more relaxed personal demeanor in his professionalism is refreshing and appreciated. He is an excellent medical doctor who is treating me.
