CEI and Dr. Robert Foster are amazing, The effort of the company to treat customers promptly respectfully and with kindness is wonderful...and Dr. Foster is always polite helpful knowledgeable supportive and overall just fantastic! I have recommended him to many others and trust him completely. Every referral he has made has shown the same skills and approach of respect/kindness. Everyone I have interacted with at CEI has been wonderful but Dr. Foster -- he saved my sight.! As a nurse for 44 years I know quality medicine and as a patient appreciate the customer needs.....CEI and DR. Foster excel in both!!!

I have been seeing Dr. Foster for 14 years for macular degeneration. He has my complete confidence. He is clear and patient with me during consultation. He is helpful and answers my questions and concerns with empathy. I hope he doesn't retire anytime soon.
