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.

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.

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 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.

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

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

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.
