Dr. Richard Foster is one of the most intelligent people I know. He helped me overcome communication issues that I have faced for quite some time, in order to help me better describe health issues that I was facing. Simply put; the legend in the health industry, in my opinion.

Dr. Foster is one of the most caring doctors I have ever met, and believe me, I met many when my late husband was diagnosed with bladder cancer. When everyone else in our area and the other doctors at IU gave up, he kept trying and we had an additional seven years to enjoy my husband. During that time and after, he went so far as to hand write his own letters to us. He needs a set of wings.
