I waited for him for one hour and was told that he could not come to the office. But once, i forgot to show up i was charge for $50. Always have to wait at least 30'. The place is not so clean.

Seriously, he should be in jail. He is beyond selfish and has no compassion whatsoever. His back office lady is Rosalina and she will be sickeningly sweet to your face, then throw daggers at you if you even mention the word 'money.' He is a drug pusher who meets with me, doesn't ask one question about how I'm doing, then has the nerve to bill me for visit I didn't even have! (Because he makes, literally, a 20 second call to order my prescription. All he does is talk about himself, his golf and his vacations. To say he's a thief wouldn't be enough. If he hasn't already caused a patients death, it's just a matter of time. Why does the AMA allow him to be a board certfied member. He is evil and greed personified and boasts about winning in small claims court on a regular basis. I truly think he should be in jail.

I only give 4 stars for truly exceptional experiences and in some instances this was exceptional because I read the reviews after making the appointment and was expecting far less than I received. Dr. Foos was pleasant and confident, making my daughter (16) comfortable. This is a first impression and his true worth will be known after my daughter begins treatment. At this point, I would recommend him.

The way this so called physician intimidates his patients is reprehensible. There is no bedside manner to speak of. He is nothing but an ersatz version of the wonderful physician who preceded him. Why are physicians regulated more in order weed out the likes of him. A disgrace.

They made me an appointment for 11:15 AM, making sure to warn me there would be a dire fee if I was late or did not show.I arrived early, did paperwork, then was left to sit there for nearly 55 minutes. When the Dr finally emerged, done with whomever he had been seeing, he proceeded to call a gentleman who arrived AFTER I did, so that was it, and I left the office telling his staff that my appointment had been an hour ago, and it was ridiculous.I will not be re-scheduling.During the pointless wait, the office was loud, filled with obnoxious babbling, giggling and other random annoyances from his oh, so professional staff. (Two girls in tight jeans and hooker boots)

Dr. Foos is caring and compassionate. He will not waste time with an agenda. He is happy to answer questions and will take the time to explain whatever you need.

I wish I had the chance to read this doctor`s review myself. Unfortunately I only found out about his bad reviews after taking my mother to see him on several occasions. We found him to be arrogant

Terrible doctor. More concerned with his vacation time than with his patients' health. Rude to family members seeking help. Doesn't follow through with suicidal patients.

This doctor is surprisingly obnoxious and ineffective. No time for patients, no follow-up. Poor treatment results and horrible attitude. NOT...

 |  What a Joke!  |  show details
by Michelle on Mar 16th, 2009

My daughter was seeing the great Dr. Stephen Hayes. Unfortunately, when he passed away, we were at a huge loss. We were referred to Dr. Foos. What a joke! Not only did he not seem to know what he was doing, but he's pompous and his staff rude! When I found another doctor for my daughter, we asked Dr. Foos' office for a copy of the file...they would not release it unless we paid for it! He doesn't care about the patient at all...it's all about him and how much money he can make!

Dr. Foos and his staff are pitiful. They made a "mistake" and setup an appointment for me and sent me a bill for $50 for missing that appointment that I never made. The office manager Rosalina is so RUDE - I have never seen such insolence from a doctor's office before. AVOID THIS DOCTOR AND HIS MONEY HUNGRY STAFF. THEY ARE THEIVES!
