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.

Dismissive and uncaring
I must say while Dr foster clearly is knowledgeable and experienced, I felt as if I was wasting his time and he brushed off any question I asked as if it wasn’t worthy of a response. I was disappointed. I wasted time and money and still don’t feel confident about my medical situation. I’ll now have to see another doctor.

Arrogant
I could smell booze when he ignored results of the ultrasound. So I went to a different doc who took the results seriously. Problem solved!

He has zero bedside manner. My visit was rushed as if I was wasting his time. He dismissed my symptoms and pretty much said live with it. He had no interest in digging any deeper. He was abrasive and insensitive. I will never go back and regret going to him in the first place.

He seemed cold and uncaring, and staff were obviously nervous around him. He did indicate a willingness to consider various treatment options and the treatment he recommended did work. Seemed annoyed at being there and left as soon as he could.

Dr. Foster seemed annoyed to be examining me. He did not convey any compassion or a willingness to investigate my problem. He came off as arrogant, uncaring and generally lacking in the professionalism that I would expect of someone of his station.

Dr. Foster seems knowledgeable, but very uncaring. He was unsympathetic when I told him that I have anxiety around pelvic exams. During the exam, when I asked him to be patient as I was trying to relax, he snapped, "Try harder," and continued the exam. I won't be returning.
