Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

RUN Don't Walk To Another Physician
Let me be clear if I could give this practice zero stars I would. The staff is incredibly incompetent and the Dr. is down right money hungry and not properly educated on current thoughts for health and fitness. I have had numerous issues with wrong blood work being ordered, messages not being given to the Dr. etc. Communication between staff and the physician is incredibly inconsistent and it's insane to me that people in charge of people's physical well being can't be trusted to relay simple information they handle every day.As for Dr. Foster. I have been seeing him for the last 10 months for major weight loss (135lbs in that time frame) he and I had an agreement that I would monitor my blood work on an every 2 month basis with the lifestyle eating option I have chosen. We also agreed that I would need to be seen every 4 months to review this information. To my surprise with this upcoming blood work I was told we can no longer do that the doctor needs to see you I asked why and

We have been with Dr. Foster's practice for 26 years. He taught me how to not stress so much when my kids were young. When he was worried about something he moved quickly, when he was calm, I knew it would be okay. He has taken care of our whole family. I trust him completely.

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Foster for the past seven years and more recently started bringing our three young children. His level of skill and compassion are amongst the best we have experienced in the medical field. Dr. Foster’s nurses are exceptional as well and go above and beyond when caring for our family. His staff is friendly and more than accommodating when making appointments, especially when calling at the end of the day with a child who is walking off the bus sick and needs to be seen. There isn’t a better doctor in the Hudson Valley!

I have been seeing Dr Foster for over a decade and have always found him to be a skilled physician. He has always been the one person that can determine what the issue is after several other physicians have failed to get the diagnosis correct. I also bring my children to see him and he Is very good at what he does. I would highly recommend him to anyone I meet.

My family and I have been patients for 23 years and when my mother in law moved into the area she also became a patient. Over the years Drs Foster and Rubenstein have been with us thru regular care and illness as well as hospital stays. Dr. Foster’s nurse contacts me regularly to check on my mother in law’s health. The patient portal is a great tool to communicate with and the emails are always answered promptly. I could not have asked for a better health care practitioner.

The staff does this doctor a disservice because he is not a bad doctor but the staff is nasty. Most places at least make an effort to be courteous and professional, not this one.

Terrible. He's a yeller. And he's quick to assume without knowing or asking for facts.
