I have been privileged to be a patient of Dr. Foster for the last few years. I have found him to be an especially caring and competent provider of attention to my unique and somewhat complicated eye issues. I have always been very comfortable during my appointment with Dr. Foster and extremely comfortable in following his assessments and directives thereafter. Dr. Foster is highly professional and gentlemanly in his speech and demeanor. I would wholeheartedly endorse recommendation of him.

Dr. Foster is the best. He treated me for macular degeneration, diabetic eye disease & vitreoretinal issues. He's the most knowledgeable person about these eye problems. I had surgeries, laser work & shots in the eye. I went from 50% vision in one eye & about 0% vision in the other eye to 20/20 in the good eye & much improved eyesight in the bad eye. I was very close to losing my eyesight. Now I am able to see again with my glasses. He is Chairman of the Board at CEI. What more do you want? Jane

I have the utmost respect for and gratitude to Dr. Foster. He has treated me for macular degeneration for 2 years and I am certain that his care has resulted in my macular degeneration not progressing. He is kind, he explains everything well, and he is the best giver of shots to the eyeball! I have and would recommend him to anyone who requires quality retinal care.

-Robert H. Hickey in Oxford, OH | Feb 15, 2017
Dr.Foster was vey knowledgable about my eye problem. Explained all of the procedures very clearly and gave all of the choices I had for procedures, what might occur as the result of doing each one and allowed me to make the choice I thought would be best for me. The procedure I chose went quickly and everything he explained about it was exactly how it happened. I was also very impressed with all of the technicians and assistants I encountered at Cincinnati Eye Institute.

-Dana Connolly in Cincinnati, OH | Feb 12, 2017
I can't say enough about the gift of clear vision from Dr. Foster and his friendly, competent staff. The vitrectomies in both eyes (done in Sept and Nov, 2016) removed floaters such that I can again read at speed and do detail work in the shop and on my bonsai and other plants. I can't think of a better gift! I now have "raptor vision" (for a human, that is). Thank you, forever, Dr. Foster (who also happens to be a friendly, fun and engaging person)! I've recommended him to friends.

Very good doctor. Friendly enough. One complaint. My doc in California did not put beta dine in my eye. It burns terribly. He practically must put me in a headlk. Can he give me the betadine after the shot?

I found Dr, Foster to be thorough and willing to share his findings in understandable language to me. He didn't pressure me to leave my optometrist, but expressed a willingness to see me again if other concerns arise.

-Jennifer Ison in Batavia, OH | Jun 03, 2016
Very caring and spent as much time with me as I needed to answer all my questions etc. Explained procedure thoroughly to make sure I understood all of my options and what was going to happen to me. During the procedure, he was aware that I woke up and actually stopped to make sure I was doing ok, tapped me on the head to confirm that he truly cared about my well being. Excellent bedside manner as well as medical expertise.

My visits are always rushed and I feel I never have a chance to ask questions. I understand he has only a limited time per person, but if I try to ask a question, he doesn't give a straight answer.
