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.
UofU Patient
November 17, 2019
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.
UofU Patient
October 21, 2019
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
UofU Patient
October 08, 2019
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.
UofU Patient
August 19, 2019
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.
UofU Patient
July 25, 2019
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.
UofU Patient

Dr. Foster was excellent as always. He was professional and yet down to earth at the same time. He was also kind and patient.
UofU Patient
May 10, 2019
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.
UofU Patient
April 29, 2019
Bedside manner could improve. Recommend all patient's record conversations to help them retain the information.
UofU Patient
March 24, 2019
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!
UofU Patient
March 12, 2019

UofU Patient

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.
UofU Patient
November 04, 2018
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.
UofU Patient
October 30, 2018
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
October 15, 2018
It was a very packed day and the staff did an en excellent job to manage a"filled" day.
UofU Patient
October 15, 2018
Doctor was way behind schedule due to shortage other doctors and had to hurry
UofU Patient
September 27, 2018
We always are able to spend adequate time with doctors. In CA doctors always seem to be in a hurry which is definitely not the case at the U of U
UofU Patient
September 23, 2018
Everything is good except the original time it took to get the first appointment.

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

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.

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

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

Too much technical jargon.

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 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

UofU Patient

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

February 02, 2017
Couldn't have been a better experience with the care provider.

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.

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
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
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
March 15, 2016
Great!
UofU Patient
March 15, 2016
Dr. Foster was very knowledgeable, kind, responsive to my questions, and helpful.
UofU Patient

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

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.
