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.

I recently needed to have a partial thyroidectomy and I was fortunate to have Dr. Trenton Foster as my surgeon. He spent ample time prior to the procedure explaining what needed to be done and how he would do it. His explanation was clear and concise. After the surgery he explained how the surgery went and what I should watch for. I didn't experience any pain and only minor discomfort. A few days later I received an unfavorable pathology report which necessitated the rest of the thyroid to be removed. Dr. Foster worked me in to his schedule to come back in the following week to have the remainder of the thyroid removed. Similar to the previous week he explained what would be done and that he would use the existing incision. He conducted an evaluation of my vocal chords and explained that much care would need to be taken. After the surgery he let me know that the procedure couldn't have gone better. I experienced a similar pain free recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Foster.
