I started seeing Dr. Foster at MERSI a few years ago who diagnosed me and started me on the correct treatment plan after 2 years of being misdiagnosed. d/t work conflicts and having to be there every 2 weeks on a Fridays I started seeing Dr Hinkle. I did not regret it and never did i doubt his ability to care for me. I've had a rough road the past few years and he's been with me all the way. Most recently peformed cataract surgery on me and was terrific. He even made sure he went out into the waiting room to talk to my best friend and re-assure her I'd be fine. He is caring, kind and most of all quite thorow (?sp). i am honest that the wait times can be long so bring a book. It's worth the wait. They are long because people like us often have emergencies and you are never turned away or told there is no room in the day to be seen. So i know if I'm waiting it's not because they are sitting around. They are very busy in that office and will assist you in anyway they can!
