Dr. Foster was great! I recently changed my primary doctor to him beacause my old one was impossible to make appointments with. Dr. Foster does everything himself starting from vitals. It was very easy to make a appointment with him. He was so kind and takes time to really examine you and reads through your medical history to truly understand your condition.

Second visit - he replaced the very caring Dr. Forero, and seems to have the same very personal approach, not seen in many of the internists in the area. Simple problem, but dealt with it accurately and quickly, scheduled a more comprehensive exam for later since he felt it was not needed at the time.

I liked his demeanor and friendliness and willing to listen to your views. His comments were correct and encouraging. I both definitely recommend and return for future visits.
