waiting room entirely too cold for the elderly or people that are sick and the staff are freezing out there. The patient area in the back is fine. My Doctor was way behind so they let me go back to work and called me when he was free. I appreciated that.

I like my doctor very much. I trust him. He was very informative. The only thing is my appointment was at 9:30 and he took me very, very late. And I know he was extremely busy, but it was a long wait.

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. James Foster and the exceptional care he provides. From the moment I walk into the office, I'm treated with warmth, respect, and genuine compassion. Dr. Foster is not only incredibly knowledgeable and thorough but also takes the time to listen, explain, and ensure that I feel heard and supported at every visit. What truly sets Dr. Foster apart from any other primary care doctor I had in the past is his ability to combine clinical excellence with a kind and approachable manner. He never rushes through appointments and always make me feel like a priority. Whether it's managing my chronic condition, addressing a new concern, or simply focusing on preventive care, Dr. Foster brings the perfect balance of professionalism, empathy, and attentiveness. It is such a relief and comfort to know that my health is in such capable hands. I am beyond grateful to have found Dr. Foster as my primary care provider and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone seeking outstanding, patient-centered care
