Dr. Foster has excellent patient / communication skills, in other words a very good "bedside" manner. He provided a very thorough explanation of his analysis of my previous EKG results. In addition he asked me for any family history that might be relevant and contribute to his understanding of my current health status.

While in demand, Dr. Foster took as much time as needed - both he and myselr -to address the issues. Amazing concern for a Dr. These days.

Dr. Foster is the best prepared physician I have seen. On an early Monday appointment he obviously had reviewed my chart over the week end
