I have been taking my son for almost 2.5 years and he is such an amazing dr , he listens and cares and always tries to help us . He calls to check up and see how my son is doing on his meds , he respects my choices and always tries to do what is best for my son . We are fortunate to have him as our neurologist, thank you Dr Foster for all your help .

Dr. Foster has helped my daughter with her chronic leg pain after a MV vs Pedestrian accident. Very understanding and did not give up on helping her and figuring out other problems for my 16 yr old and 12 yr old.

We love Dr. Foster. He treats my son as a person and not just a number. He is always fantastic about spending time with us and answering any questions we have. We feel so fortunate to have him as our son's doctor.

This is the worst doctor ever.I took my appointment 3 months ago and they just called few weeks ago to tell me that you don't have an appointment on that day and after investigating I found out that they cancel it for me because the doctor can not see me on that day and put me on another day and time that I don't even know.Wow..non respect to any appointement or to any patient..

Dr Foster cared for my daughter for several years - and I stress "Cared For". He not only showed it by his actions and our appointments but also by his thoroughness. He made sure no stone was left unturned when diagnosing my daughter's "not-so-common" condition. He will be missed in the State of New York.
