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.

Excellent care

Incredibly Understaffed
I have been going to Pulmonary Medicine Consultants for about two years now. Dr. Greg Foster is not the pulmonologist I typically see, however, I believe it is incredibly important that the following be known. Dr. Foster is the main owner/partner of the practice, so is the one who ultimately finalizes decisions, such as how his practice is run. It’s a madhouse. They are incredibly understaffed. While I know, and completely understand, that specialty physicians may get called away during office hours, this office has no plan for it whatsoever. The poor girls in the back are already swamped it seems, so if a doctor has to leave during clinic hours, they have to cancel and/or reschedule all of the appointments for that doctor. Again, I understand the need to leave the office. What I don’t understand is how and why an owner of a business would allot for the frequency of such instances, and not have a way to supplement/support the functioning of his own business. It’s ignorant and wrong.

I totally love Dr. Foster. He is caring, never rushed and knows his stuff. I am so glad that he has helped me with my Sleep apnea and I am so much more better since I have listened to him about using my machine. He listens to my concerns and gives me suggestions and doesn't force me to do anything but recommends and tells me the benefits as well as any downfalls. I am very, very glad that I have him for my Pulmonologist. Carol M.

He is smart, insightful, up-to-date education- wise, and I always learn something from him. He is easy to talk with and is not rushed. My husband and I both have gone to him for many years for sleep apnea issues.
