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. Uhrin-Foster is the best doctor to have for chronic conditions. She is empathic, friendly and she will lite up the room as she really listens to what has been going on. She understands what her patients are going through and she will run tests or order x-rays to make sure she has done everything to help us. I've been seeing her for almost 20 years. It's a pleasure to see her every two months. Dr. Foster sees my treatment as a partnership between us. There was one appointment where she was running late. Dr. Foster does everything she can to squeeze in patients that need urgent shots or medication. Most of the time she is on-time, but this one time she was very late. All of us patients in the waiting room starting talking to each another. The bottom line, all of us agreed, that she was worth the wait. We all agreed, she is the best doctor.

This physician wins the gold for her medical skill and concern for her patients. When she walks in the room I feel like the sun has come out. She wants to know about my whole body, not just the parts that hurt. She is not afraid to order the tests that will provide her an accurate diagnosis of the problem. When needed she makes referrals to outstanding colleagues. She is a warm and caring human being. I couldn't ask for a better rheumatologist.
