Dr Foster is easy going and kind. She has been giving me epidurals for years for my pain and it’s given me my life back after a bad injury. I waited for her to come back from maternity leave because I just don’t trust anyone else to do them. She is a blessing.

Dr. Foster and her team have helped me on several occasions. The level of care and expertise goes far beyond that of others professionals I have worked with.

Dr. Foster is very knowledgeable, she listens and cares about you as a person. I recently tried a new procedure that she performed and have had extremely good results! We just recently moved to Georgia and I was concerned about finding a great doctor for my spinal condition. I'd say, I have found someone I can trust and respect.

I saw Dr. Foster today and was very impressed. As a new patient, she actually finished off my questionnaire for me. I was impressed by the staff that was attentive and diligent.
Dr. Foster gave me 4 options for my back pain and was very attentive to my questions, issues and concern.
Very friendly and I felt like I was talking to a sister who knew much more of my ailment
Thank you Dr. Foster

I had an appointment with Dr. Lisa Foster at the Johns Creek Location. This was my first visit with Dr. Foster and she entered the exam room with NO laptop computer (it seems today most doctor spend most of my exam time typing on laptops) she spent her time looking me in the eyes and placing her hands on me to examine my complaints more than any doctor has in the past 10 years. She was attentive to my questions and spent time utilizing models to explain where my pain was originating. Great Doc
