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.

We recommend Dr. Foster without any reservation. He is a very talented physician. Our family has had excellent experiences with Dr. Foster . He is a very accommodating physician who listens to you. We feel he is very conscientious and an expert surgeon. We highly recommend Dr. Foster!

Dr. Foster is excellent at what he does. I've had several surgeries and am happy with the results. He takes the time to explain what needs to be done and then after the surgery personally calls. I would recommend Dr. Foster for whatever you need done.

How come I am seeing these amazing reviews? I wish I had the same results and experience as these wonderful reviews.. Hmmm.. are they really written from legit patients, or is it Dr. Foster, his wife ( aka office manager) and his staff writing these? My result and experience with him were awful. And, now speaking to other patients, I know I’m not the only one so unhappy.

Awful experience – Feb 06, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Foster III?
I would trust this doctor with my life. If I were choosing a hair stylist or a psychologist, I might look for other characteristics, but I was looking for a surgeon. Dr. Foster was so careful, diligent, cautious and meticulous. He took my concerns seriously and spent as much time as needed to make sure I understood what was involved. I never felt pushed to make a choice, and when radiation from years earlier threatened my recovery, he persevered to make sure I got the extra care needed.

I wish there was no stars for this Dr. I had surgery by this dr and i was completely botched. I have been dealing with being cut open 3 more times after the surgery with infections for the past 2 years went to another dr who is fighting the insurance to have this whole surgery done over again. I have also contacted a lawyer and will be going after malpractice. I would not recommend any one go to this dr at all.

I’ve had 3 separate surgies preformed by Dr Foster. He’s has been a wonderful Dr and truly cares about his work. My last surgery was very difficult, he not only called me at home to check up on me that evening but had also extended the offer of a home visit. You just don’t see that kind of concern for patients anymore!! I highly recommend him.

Dr. Foster is a caring, attentive and dedicated Doctor who not once, but twice, made a house call to my elderly dad's home as he could not get to the office and was having some pain. I was so astonished that he had taken the time to do that, leaving his office to do that. No other doctor I know, no matter what the specialty, would have done that. He also saw my dad at his office on a Sunday morning after he had injured his hand. My whole family is so grateful to him .

I am beyond dissatisfied with this office as a whole. The woman responsible for scheduling is the most unprofessional, rude, helpless and non sympathetic person I have met in the health care industry(and I have met more than my fare share).I had to follow up more than I cared to because no one calls back when they say they will and then finally, they cancel my procedure, refuse to continue care, refuse to provide a reason when asked why and then they hang up on me! Unimaginable.

Dr Foster is the ONLY surgeon I will ever use or reccomend! I originally went to Dr Foster because I was highly impressed with the level of detailed information on his website and valued the straightforward way the information was presented. Even more impressive was the artistry, creativity, and high level of resulting quality that Dr Foster Procided for both my breast augmentation and SmartLipo on my hip/buttocks. No one will beat the quality of work/care that Dr Foster and his team provides!

I would highly recommend Dr. Stanley J Foster. I had a Mommy Makeover (abdominoplasty, breast augmentation and smartlipo) in January 2016. Dr. Foster and his staff were very professional and supportive in my decision making. He is a wonderful caring physician whose years of experience truly show in the results of the cosmetic surgeries he performs. Dr. Foster spends quality time with his patients. He is a compassionate doctor who takes great pride in the work he does.
