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.

Dr Foster is the absolute best! Even though I know he was very busy, he took the time to chat. So nice, and of course very professional.

Limited in what he is able to offer. Dismissive. It doesn’t seen like UCSF has a strong reconstructive surgery department. Go elsewhere.

Dr. Foster is a brilliant surgeon and a true artist. There are many plastic surgeons to choose from in the Bay Area, but not as many who can give an excellent result when the patient has had a bi-lateral mastectomy due to breast cancer. He has a quiet, calm demeanor. He is kind and compassionate and never rushed. I am grateful beyond words for the amazing result as well as the safe and secure feeling he gave me during a time of profound vulnerability.
