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.

Limited visit
On my last visit with Dr. Fosah, I had to wait 50 minutes in the exam room and after he came in he only saw me for 5 minutes to check my lungs and heart. He is always in a rush to another requirement. He seems aloof to my requirements and does not really investigate issues that I think I have. I do not recommend Dr. Fosah.

No covid help
Last summer I was on vacation when I got covid. It was Sunday I called the office right away and left messages. I also left a portal message. Monday I called the office and left another message and another portal message. I finally spoke to an office person who confirmed that Fosah had gotten my messages and would review them and call me back. No one did. I told them how sick I was. I left several messages over four weekdays begging for medication to ease the symptoms. No one ever called me back. At the urging of my insurance company, I finally filed a complaint. They left Fosah a message concerning this. So, THEN his office called me to clarify. Later, the office manager called to get further details. She left a voice mail a day or so later to say that Fosah apologized for my dissatisfaction but no admission of his failures however, I was welcome to come in and discuss it with him. Now? No thanks. I fired him.

Great Doctor
Dr. Fosah is great. It is difficult to see him sometimes since he is so busy. However, he is very knowledgeable and takes time to listen to your concerns. My family and I will continue to see him.

Worst Dr I ever had!
He refused responsibility for his bad decisions when I was in the hospital and he was on call. He let my blood sugar stay 500+ ALL DAY risking diabetic coma refusing to admit he knows nothing about diabetes care. He ordered 15 units of insulin to cover a meal AND my 500 high when I take 45 to cover just the meal! When I confronted him he blamed incorrect records (which I verified WERE CORRECT when I was admitted) then he said I react "unusually fast" to steroids (surprise EVERY diabetic DOES!) I gave him THREE TRIES to listen to me and HE REFUSED! His genius solution to my high blood sugar was NOT administering enough insulin to bring my sugar down but to reduce the steroids I needed to BREATH BY HALF INSTEAD! I finally had enough, fired him, asked for a patient advocate and called my Diabetes Dr. This man SHOULD NOT not be practicing medicine!

Dr. Fosah has a quick temper, short fuse. Have been with him for years and plowed through, can’t take it anymore. He’s intelligent , so it’s a shame. He isn’t good at listening. Wears mask so tight that you can’t understand him. I’ve been with him about 12 years and it breaks my heart that he’s gotten worse , not better and I’m crying ?? that I have to start over.

Great doctor but hard to get refills on my medication on time for some reason, leaves me a lapse in between scripts.. it happens all most every month. Then they tell me to to take a drugs ( which I have no problem with) just that they tell me to get 1 the day before my scripts is 2 renew so I have to wait for results without my medication

He is fantastic. Very personable. I had only seen him once and then my dad was in the hospital a week after my appointment. I saw Dr. Fosah when he was making his rounds and we talked for a few minutes. At my next appointment, months later, he asked about my dad. Very thoughtful and caring.

It has been several years since my visit with Dr. Fosah, but it was definitely unforgettable. I suffer from severe anxiety and depression, and at the point of my visit was undiagnosed. I knew I needed help and needed a new physician. After visiting with the nurse, she stepped out of the room and told him what I had told her, and I could hear them talking about how I must just be a drug addict looking for my next fix. Very unprofessional and I will never return.
