Dr. Foster's encouragement that I become more independent and do more for myself well he may mean well if he had listened to me explain what I'm already doing which is everything except cooking and driving - I even do all of my own finances I just have oversight over it -we could move forward to something more helpful. from the moment he walks in the room it was completely obvious to me that he's just trying to get back outside the room again.

I recommend the u of u facility to everyone I am so pleased how we have been treated and the studies for the disease that we have participated in. we had a lot of work to show us the results of the different tests.

No diagnosis has been made yet. Thus, no treatment can be made. Dr. Foster addressed the patient's wife more than him and spoke quickly.

my experience was outstanding. I felt as though I was the only one they were concerned about and all of their attention was focused on me. A most reassuring, supportive team to help me

provider was in a hurry and it seemed that he had not adequately reviewed the case prior to the appt. In fact, the after care summary states.that he would need to do a comprehensive review of the information. it was my understanding that this was to be done prior to our appt.

UofU Patient September 30, 2019

I liked that Dr Foster and Batel were to the point and they seemed to know the case well. both are very well informed about the disease and answered all our questions.

He showed very little interest in my case and did not welcome questions or comments from me or my daughter. He appeared impatient and remote.

Dr. Foster seemed to be talking more to the students than to patient (my husband) and to us. Never ONCE looked me (the wife) in the eye. I felt invisible.

We really liked Dr. Foster, although he seemed more excited about making the diagnosis than helping us understand how it might impact us, preferring to hand us off to the education team.

Very happy with time spent with Dr. but often cut me off when talking. Was surprised at how much time he did spend with us. Often felt as though I was being told what "I should have done". Isn't hindsight wonderful!

Medical assistant, Rachel, was very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed interacting with her. Dr. Hoevensten (sp?) was very warm, engaging and made us feel very comfortable. Dr. Foster is a bit more distant in his patient approach, but is obviously very experienced. It is not easy to hear the diagnosis he had to give and I am sure it is not easy for him to give it!

Dr . Foster is always great. This time he had a student, ( called herself a fellow /intern) and she was very good and helpful as well. Very interested and eager to help. I cant remember her name. From Montana. The girl that did the cognitive test were also very good. All the staff seems to make all the patients comfortable and relaxed as best as they can.

Dr. Foster spent a lot of time with us and answered all of my questions. I had researched my husband's condition, and when I brought up some of that with Dr. Foster, he was very willing to discuss how the information I had found applied to my husband's individual case. Dr. Foster was respectful, knowledgeable, and helpful. I pushed for clarification on a couple of items, and he patiently explained his position. Overall, I am very pleased with the care we received and interaction we had with Dr. Foster.

An nurse assistant came first, then a resident doctor with a trainee doctor from BYU? and finally, Dr. Foster. Is this the standard? Do we then end up pay separately for all these people, when we only signed up for Dr. Foster? I understand the nurse assistant who did yet another assessment, the very same given when I visited, Dr. Duff & Dr. Hammers, and now again. Dr. Foster came into the visit for 15 minutes if that and said, "well, the results are all consistent". And then done!!!! I'm not sure why I'll be paying a lot of money for this visit for just that from the doctor that I was scheduled to see. Disappointing.

UofU Patient June 25, 2018

we spent the first two hours with physician assistant and only 10 min with the dr. he came in, went over what they had observed and what new scans we needed. we had a few questions and he said: i have other patients to see so i got to go. follow me to the front to check out??? felt very rushed hope he will be better after we have the new scans done.

UofU Patient June 02, 2018

No bad experiences

UofU Patient May 08, 2018

All the staff is always 100 % great with us. They always seem to treat all patients and family with great respect and patience.

UofU Patient May 07, 2018

MD looked at his pager, said he had another patient, did not discuss meds, side effects. LCSW was great. She was informative, pleasant, not in a hurry and said to call with questions. This was the first visit with the MD and then the LCSW when the diagnosis was presented.

UofU Patient May 04, 2018

i have already referred a business associate to Dr Foster

UofU Patient March 16, 2018

Dr. Foster is the best!

UofU Patient March 12, 2018

Provider was patient and willing to explain, listen to opinions, questions.

UofU Patient February 24, 2018

Dr. Foster took a lot of time explaining the diagnosis and how he came to that conclusion.

UofU Patient February 19, 2018

Resident was particularly good. Great personality, voice and professionalism. Dr Foster is always a superstar.

UofU Patient February 19, 2018

He was great once he got into the room. Maybe you should look at scheduling appointments further apart.

UofU Patient February 14, 2018

Dr. Foster is very knowledgeable and skilled. Also caring.

UofU Patient December 06, 2017

Too much technical jargon.

UofU Patient December 04, 2017

All care providers seemed considerate. Dr. Foster was verbally/socially moving at a speed I had difficulty keeping up with.

UofU Patient November 08, 2017

the providers were very very good.

UofU Patient November 07, 2017

Too early for decisions and meds. Dr. Foster provided the best explanation of events from _____ history we have heard. Gave me (wife) lots of confidence. _____ liked Dr. Foster.

UofU Patient September 05, 2017

good

UofU Patient September 02, 2017

we're finally getting the help we need. thank you U of U

UofU Patient August 31, 2017

we felt very confident in my dad's diagnosis. the Dr really put us at ease.

UofU Patient August 21, 2017

he just keep getting beeped for another patient so i maybe had 15 min and with him so I left with questions unanswered so he could get to another patient even my husband was shocked at how fast it was.

UofU Patient August 05, 2017

I appreciate a written summary of information that we talked about with Dr Foster. Thank you

UofU Patient August 05, 2017

I can't say enough positives about Dr. Foster. It has been such a relief to speak and ask questions about PSP to someone who understands the disease as well as it can be understood and explain our situation to the point I now have information specific to my husband. I am SO thankful for my sister _____ and brother-in-law, _____ for recommending him to us.

UofU Patient July 09, 2017

I am a retired professional and tend to interact with MDs and staff on an even level. In this office, they respond in kind and communication is excellent!

UofU Patient June 09, 2017

Dr. Foster is really good at what he does, we are pleased with his advice. he is not good about the medications, but he recommended geriatric psychology for mom's dementia.

UofU Patient May 27, 2017

Dr Foster was concerned that done if his explanations we're difficult for us to understand so he sent us to Liz Garcia-Leavitt for extra classification. Thru went above and beyond.

UofU Patient May 15, 2017

The care provider didn't explain why he didn't need to see us anymore. I walked aware wondering what was going on.

UofU Patient May 08, 2017

Again, this was more routine than specific. I really wasn't in need of support or encouragement or explanations.

UofU Patient May 08, 2017

excellent staff

UofU Patient April 16, 2017

Dr Foster is going to be a great help in diagnosing and caring for my husband. I'm grateful we have him on our side

UofU Patient April 14, 2017

Dr Foster is exceptional!

UofU Patient March 17, 2017

Dr. Foster was friendly and very knowledgeable. He had much information and good suggestions for us. His assistance was a very good, too.

UofU Patient March 13, 2017

We did not receive instructions regarding follow up care and nothing new regarding medications.

UofU Patient February 02, 2017

Couldn't have been a better experience with the care provider.

UofU Patient November 04, 2016

I was certainly apprehensive on my first visit but the staff and Drs. quickly put me at ease. I would recommend this clinic to my family and friends.

UofU Patient October 07, 2016

Dr. Foster and Staff are awesome!

UofU Patient August 31, 2016

We have been impressed with the time spent making sure we understood.

UofU Patient August 09, 2016

we are greatfull we have such a competent Doctor

UofU Patient June 17, 2016

dr foster is a pleasure to work with

UofU Patient June 08, 2016

I was impressed that Dr. Foster was well informed regarding my husband's history and study results. He took the time to explain findings, his impressions, drug interactions, and recommendations. We look forward to working with him in the future.

UofU Patient May 08, 2016

This was about previously diagnosed Alzhiemer's . It was really sort of "following progression" session. Medications, for example, just weren't at issue.

UofU Patient May 08, 2016

Just barely getting to know the new care provider. I'm assuming the 'good' marks will turn to 'excellent' when I get to know him better

UofU Patient March 15, 2016

Dr. Foster was very knowledgeable, kind, responsive to my questions, and helpful.

UofU Patient March 15, 2016

Great!

UofU Patient March 03, 2016

I appreciated the contact made as I was leaving which enabled me to meet with another provider regarding a special program possibility.

UofU Patient February 29, 2016

Everyone we met with was very kind, helpful, and concerned.

UofU Patient February 27, 2016

good

UofU Patient February 26, 2016

Dr. Foster is always concerned and real. He doesn't sugar-coat things and explains them well. I appreciate his sincerity and his professionalism. He is a dedicated professional who cares about his patients.

UofU Patient February 16, 2016

a good visit. the diagnosis was upgraded and explained well

UofU Patient October 05, 2015

I UNDERSTAND DR. FOSTER IS EXTREMELY BUSY, BUT MY WIFE IS IN AN EXTREMELY FRAGIL STATE. BUT HAVING TO WAITE "TWO MONTHS" TO DO ANY DEFINITIVE TESTING AFTER BEING TOLD THAT SHE HAS SOME SIGNIFICANT COGNITIVE ISSUES IN PLACE, IS EXTREMELY UPSETTING TO MY WIFE. THEN AFTER THIS TESTING IS DONE, HAVING TO WAITE ANOTHER MONTH TO SEE DR. FOSTER HAS TOTALLY UN- DONE HER AND SHE IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY DEPRESSED NOT KNOWING WHAT LIES AHEAD.

UofU Patient September 23, 2015

The Dr and all the staff were all great. However, we can't get in for a follow-up with the Dr until jan which is 4 months from the initial appt. That is a ridiculous time frame, especially since we are supposed to wait until then to get the results of labwork and MRI that is being done in sept. The tests will help determine the diagnosis which means we have to wait 4 months to understand what course of care will be recommended. This is not acceptable. They could at least have a resident follow up with us, if the dr is too booked up.

UofU Patient September 07, 2015

Dr. Foster was very helpful, and Dr. Keown was excellent in doing the neurological exam.

UofU Patient August 08, 2015

I left the office feeling that was given appropriate information and diagnosis.

UofU Patient August 03, 2015

It is always a positive experience when we leave after seeing Dr. Norman Foster

UofU Patient June 15, 2015

The nurses with first rate (very good) at establishing rapport and the doctor was immediately addressing my concerns and correctly evaluated my knowledge base and ability to understand. Actually, at one point I got up and hugged him because he was completely in tune with my concerns, goals and plan for myself.

UofU Patient February 09, 2015

Visit was not rushed, all our concerns were addressed, overall avery pleasant experience.

UofU Patient January 27, 2015

the med tech moved thru the first diagnostic too quickly. The other staff were wonderful. Dr Foster,spent time explaining care, concerns and what to expect.i greatly appreciated his help in providing information that was clear and understandable..

UofU Patient January 26, 2015

First time seeing Dr. Foster. He wants more tests done.

UofU Patient July 18, 2014

I felt very comfortable with Dr. Foster... He is a very kind man... And he comes across as being very concerned about me, and I'm sure that he is that way with all of his patients...

UofU Patient June 16, 2014

did not seem very organized and not sure he had all the test results from all the tests. This is a guess, but it seemed that way to me.

UofU Patient May 19, 2014

after a few brief questions, I was told I probably had Alzheimer's . I'm sure you see many patients but I left feeling like I was doomed after such a brief exam.

UofU Patient April 06, 2014

Once again we are very lucky to have Norman Foster as a doctor

UofU Patient March 28, 2014

seem their biggest concern was how good our health insurance was

UofU Patient February 03, 2014

some uncertainty as who would talk to primary care provider about Rx recommendations.

UofU Patient January 12, 2014

we like Dr Foster- he presents a very personal, encouraging & caring relationship

UofU Patient November 14, 2013

Good

UofU Patient August 19, 2013

We left with no idea of how to proceed; why we needed another mri; just treatment ideas and information etc. We may consult another physician.

UofU Patient July 31, 2013

Dr Foster appears to be very experienced in dealing with the type of medical problems that my uncle is presenting. Sometimes we wonder what difference it could have made if we had had the chance to have seen him a year or two prior (with hindsight!).

UofU Patient May 29, 2013

The clinic is excellent in sharing a scary diagnosis in a candid yet compassionate manner. I am grateful for both.

UofU Patient May 07, 2013

Dr Foster is awesome!

UofU Patient April 22, 2013

I would recommend the staff to all. They are great

UofU Patient April 04, 2013

Patient did not feel like she was included in the discussion. Dr. Foster spoke with family instead of directing the conversation to her. She indicated that she felt like a illness instead of a person when he was directing teaching to resident (?).

UofU Patient March 04, 2013

I believe should have provided more information about what the initial testing revealed. A little bit condescending.

UofU Patient November 07, 2012

We felt comfortable with the counsel and direction Dr Foster gave to us. We value his expertise and know we are on the right track if we follow his advise.

UofU Patient October 22, 2012

Dr Foster was awesome. Obviously knows what he is doing and instills confidence. My wife is looking forward to her next visit with him when he expects to confirm with her what is going on. She is comfortable with whatever the outcome is.

UofU Patient October 18, 2012

dr. foster was very helpful in sorting out my memory loss problem.

UofU Patient October 08, 2012

We feel we had the very best of care

UofU Patient October 04, 2012

We had not received the notes from the first visit so we were not fully prepared for the discussion. Dr. Foster had to take more time explaining all of those things at the onset of the discussion. This took up more of his time. He did not seem to rush over anything even though this took longer.

UofU Patient September 20, 2012

The doctor had a tendency to speak in doctor jargon which was a bit hard to understand. However he was very polite.

UofU Patient August 09, 2012

Dr. Foster was very personable. He made us feel comfortable about the next steps and required testing for her condition. She was very at ease with him.

UofU Patient May 21, 2012

Dr Foster has a way of providing pertinent information in a positive way that we can understand. We feel he is sincerely concerned, and highly qualified in his field. We appreciate the care we've received. The care goes beyond diagnosis, to include ways of coping, in a proactive format before needs arise.

UofU Patient March 19, 2012

We both feel comfortable with the doctor and his team and have extremely high confidence in his capacity and desire to help.

UofU Patient January 23, 2012
