Dr. Foulk was so great! His bedside manner is phenomenal, and he really takes enough time during each visit to explain what’s going on and answer questions. He never seemed rushed during my visits and answered all my questions! He did my shoulder surgery and everything went perfectly, and my recovery is going smoothly. His office is prompt at returning calls and getting answers to my questions. I’d highly recommend Dr. Foulk!

Dr Foulk performed my ACL reconstruction. He was to the point, very informative and could answer all my questions during pre and post surgery visits. I was very happy with the surgery!

Dr. Foulk is thorough during his conversation with you explaining first what the rotator cuff is and does, and what an injured rotator cuff looks, feels and sounds like. As he explains, he draws a picture too. It is nice to have a visual to help understanding of what he is explaining which, by the way, he does in language that you can understand. He informs you of all steps of the process before, during and after surgery. He ensures your questions are answered as well. I felt very comfortable and at ease with Dr. Foulk.
