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.

Best of the best
I'm a current primary care patient of Dr. Foster. Due to work I've lived in many different cities and have thus had several different primary care doctors. Dr. Foster is the best and I can't imagine one being better. He is knowledgeable and very smart, patient, non-judgmental, and goes out of his way to ensure I'm connected with the best specialists available, even personally contacting them to ensure I receive prompt care. His bedside manner is phenomenal, and he applies firm yet polite pressure whenever I drag my feet on following through with procedures, etc. I'm thankful that I've found and have access to such a wonderful doctor.
