Every staff member I interacted with took time to answer every question I had thoroughly. The surgeon and nurse practitioner made sure I was comfortable with their interaction before they left. I appreciate their assistant for following through with my additional questions.

Dr. Foster and her clinic people are extremely nice. Dr. Foster explains things and answers questions as long as you want to ask them. I have actually recommended her to my son who also needs surgery on his neck. I think she is excellent and I am glad that I chose her to do my surgery.

Dr. Foster gave me the confidence and support I needed to go through second spinal surgery with every expectation of success. I would not hesitate to go to her if further surgery required.

Regarding earlier question: Provider didn't explain where to get test results but it was obvious I am getting ongoing orthopedic treatment and it is well known results are posted on MyChart

Scheduling the follow up appointment was a bit confusing, the desk clerk was not clear on what was needed, or when i should come back !!
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/29/2023
Dr. Foster was wonderful to me! She has ordered a MRI to find out just what is going on in my neck so we can fix it!! I've already tried to refer my brother in law for neck issues but she doesn't take his ins! ?

No person's fault but it's taking a long time and many meetings with different doctors to get to the end.

This experience here at this provider was a waste of time. The Dr and the nurses told me I had too many issues and I need to be seen for them one at a time. Mind you this provider sent me to have X-rays before my visit knowing full well what my issues were. My back issues weren't even fully explained to me just briefly shown my X-rays with no full understanding of anything. They sent me to therapy which I've been too before except now I have limited mobility. I have right light weakness that makes it hard for me to drive at times, I told the nurse that she brushed me off saying oh so you need transportation? Well someone could help you with that, I replied I have a brand new car that I can barely drive due to leg weakness she says maybe you should find someplace closed to home and I replied this conditions happens on short or long rides that's not the issue. They pretty much faulted my insurance for lack of better healthcare mind you I'm disabled, I receive Medicaid and I'm black so it was racially motivated to shame me wich it didn't, thanks but no thanks.

When I entered Suite 160, it was unclear to me where the receptionist desks were because they were not visible (they were around the corner to the right). The only desk I could see to the immediate right was unoccupied. As I was standing there, looking to figure out where I check in, a receptionist walked right by me, and did not say anything. I then realized where she went, so I walked over there, and was then able to check in. I would've expected that she would've asked "can I help you?" when she saw me standing there at the entrance, but she basically ignored me.

Dr Foster was great in explaining my up coming procedure she put me at ease. Even showed me my X-rays and explained.

Dr Foster is an excellent dr who takes as much time as needed with her patients.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/9/2023
Dr. Foster seem to know what was the problem and knew what to do.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/9/2023
I was very well pleased with Dr. Foster. She took the time to read a previous surgery report from many years ago that I brought with me. She listened to my descriptions of pain that I was having. She showed me the current x-rays that were taken at her office. Although she said that surgical intervention couldn't help me, she ordered physical therapy sessions and instructed me to call if that didn't help. She also took the time to engage in conversation with me. Again, I am very well pleased that I saw Dr. Foster.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 4/2/2023
I know Dr Foster kept it simple and easy for anyone to understand what was going on with them. I've been to other doctors to try to explain things and couldn't understand ask questions no answer. She explained things I asked questions she explained things to where I could understand.
