Dr Foster was my rheumatologist for roughly 10 yrs while I lived in Northern California. She's very nice, always professional and follows through on patient care. One of the serious reservations I had about moving out of state was that I didn't want to lose her as my care giver. She's wonderful; I just can't say enough great things about her.

My health sometimes gets quite difficult, but no matter how hard things get, Dr Foster always has my best interest at heart! Dr Foster is so very kind & super knowledgeable that i know i can depend on what she says will be the best plan of action for me! Dr Foster always goes above & Beyond to give me the care she knows i need. Not many people these days can say they like their doctors, much less say they love their doctors. But when it comes to Dr Foster, i can say i love my RA Dr! I have never had a doctor be as kind and attentive with all aspects of my care as Dr Foster does! If you're looking for a good & highly qualified RA doctor, look no further, because Dr Foster is your best bet all the way around! I have been seeing Dr Foster now for the past 7 years. I just pray she won't retire anytime soon!

I've been to four or five rheumatologists in the twelve years I've had RA. Dr. Foster is my favorite, because she is:Caring and gentleFriendly & PersonableClearly interested in your particular situation, and in helping you find solutions Her office is well run and efficient, and unlike some MDs I've been to, she does not gouge the patient when it comes to fees or charges.Dr. Foster is definitely an excellent choice if you're looking or a rheumatologist.

I have been working on my RA for 9 years with Dr. Foster and I find her one of the most caring and skilful physicians I have ever met. She has my unqualified recommendation for anyone with RA or similar.
