I have been going to Dr. Foster for 17 years. He is an outstanding physician with great technical skills. But just as important, he is very professional, explains things, and has a very nice demeanor to work with. Highly recommend him

I was introduced to Dr. Foster following an emergency referral. It was determined I had macular degeneration in both eyes. In the last few years, he had repaired a retinal year and is now treating me for wet macular degeneration. He is thorough and professional. I value his opinion and wouldn’t trust my eye health to anyone other than Dr. Foster.

Dr. Foster had been treating me after a large vitreous hemorrhage and retinal tears for 1 & 1/2 years. He is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent surgeon. He is very thorough with all your eye exams and your eyes are in excellent care with him. He also gives other good advice on dealing with retina eye issues and answers your questions.

Dr Foster is very thorough. He checks you for everything possible for the best retina care. He’s doing a great job on my retinal issues for the last year and things are improving greatly. I couldn’t be in better hands.

In my opinion, Dr. Foster is an outstanding ophthalmologist. This is what impressed me the most. During my visit, he reviewed my record and suggested that until he finds out what caused the problem, he did not want to make a quick decision.

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
