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.

Told me I was crazy
Crazy people have real medical issues also. Another ent removed 9 tonsil stones I guess they weren’t imagined..

Not happy
I have a drooping upper lip so you can’t see my teeth when I smile. I spent $8000 for him to lift my lip. I didn’t get any result what so ever. I went back twice and they told me it was swollen. Well I went back a year later to show them how it didn’t work. I spoke with the doctor and told him I paid $8000 with no results. He ignored it. Then he had the nerve to tell me I have jowls and then they proceeded to try to sell me fillet Later, I found out that he is not even a plastic surgeon. He just took courses to do facial surgery. He is actually a ears, nose, and throat doctor. I would run away from this guy as fast as I could know matter how charismatic he is.

Rhinoplasty
Very satisfied with the results of my rhinoplasty. Dr Foster was very knowledgeable, professional, and caring. His staff is extremely supportive. It was an excellent experience from start and finish. I will be seeing him for other procedures.

Excellent surgeon
I recently had elective surgery after a very extensive search for a highly rated doctor. Dr. Foster was recommended by a colleague and I was very impressed with his experience in the field, he's quite knowledgeable and professional. He really spent a lot of time with me to answer my questions and alleviate my concerns. His staff was very helpful with the entire process from the surgical coordinator to the front desk staff to the OR nurses. This is an impressive group. Thank you Dr. Foster. You have changed my life!

Dr. Foster assured us that my daughter's results would be amazing and that we would be so happy with the results. He had us meet with one of his employees who had the same procedure to show us how great her results came out. I had to pay for the entire procedure upfront $4,000. When my daughter went in before the procedure to sign all the paperwork without me, she was told by his employee that she would probably only see a 40% improvement but maybe more hopefully. As the parent paying for the procedure, I was never told only 40% improvement as he assured us of great results that we would be so happy with at our first meeting. When we went back after the procedure for a follow-up visit and I confronted him about how he wasn't truthful upfront, he said he would redo the procedure for half price. He then said she would still only get a 40% improvement from what she looks like now. He also is condescending and has no bedside manner after you pay and are not satisfied. Beware!

Doctor's office will keep your money and makes appointments to not help you in the long run at all. Saw another specialist at another practice who saw me, evaluated my problem, and prescribed the medication I needed! This office did nothing! Money wasted for me and unfortunately in their pocket! Will never go back to this doctor or this office and would not recommend!

Have been a cosmetic patient for many years. Dr. Foster has always taken good care of me and is always very honest with what I do and don't need. I really appreciate that! I highly recommend Dr. Foster not only for plastic surgery but also ear nose and throat issues.

My first visit was good, however, and Unfortunately I needed to change my appointment from a surgical procedure to a less invasive procedure to use my $500 deposit due to extenuating circumstances beyond my control. I was told basically that I could not apply that large deposit to anything else. So in essence the doctor gets to keep my deposit for doing absolutely nothing. I would’ve paid additional money to Apply towards another procedure so in essence the good doctor would still be receiving addition money, which is really what this boils down to, money. This Was on top of another fee for the consultation. Not bad for a 20 minute meeting. Will never go to this doctor again!

Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Dr Foster's impressive excellent medical background is demonstrated in the end results of my upper and lower eyelid surgery.

I did my research as i wanted to make sure I went to the best and thats when I found Dr. Foster! He came highly recommended by so many. I had an elective cosmetic procedure and I'm thrilled with my results. Dr. Foster is so kind and caring. You can see that he really cares about his patients as his staff is the same way. They ALL go above and beyond. I cant say enough about Dr. Foster and his amazing team. If I could give six stars I would!!!
