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.

Dr. Foster is an outstanding podiatrist - always attentive, kind and professional. He is knowledgeable and thorough in his approach and takes the time to listen to his patients. As a physician my self, I could not be more satisfied with his care or recommend him more highly.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Foster?
I have been a patient of Dr Foster’s for over 30 years and for good reason. Dr Foster has always taken whatever time is needed with a patient to be sure they understand their condition and the necessary treatment, be it a small or large issue they may have. Dr Foster has performed several surgeries on me.and he was always very thorough explaining what was to be expected and followed up closely during recovery and healing. I highly recommend him and his wonderful office staff who are nice also
