This ranks with a 1 star only because I can't write a review with zero stars. This office will come up with all sorts of questionable recommendations on what should be done to your teeth but it is presented to you as though all of your teeth will fall out if you don't get sucked into it. What was significantly worse, however, was the bait and switch tactics. My wife needed a crown. This office contacted our insurance company THREE TIMES and were told every time that it wasn't covered. Didn't matter - the office still pretended that it was covered and told us so. It wasn't until after the crown was placed that they suddenly came up with "Oh, by the way, that wasn't covered". Shame on us for not contacting our insurance directly. But when we even questioned the office's culpability in the whole mess the dentist started threatening to call her attorney, send us to collections and all manner of other browbeating tactics. Oh yeah, and the first statement they sent already had interest charges tacked onto it. They sent a "Final Notice" only 30 days after the first statement. If you're looking for a dentist, don't walk away from this one. Run. As fast as you can. read more

I began seeing Dr. Foster about 12-13 years ago due to having a toothache. She was the second opinion I sought. She referred me to an endodontist at that time, and I had my first root canal. At that time, she told me she didn't do root canals and sent me to an endodontist. It was a successful root canal. She and her staff took over the care of my teeth at that time, and I didn't have any problems with her care. The staff in her office are very professional. In 2018, I had another toothache while I was on vacation and called Dr. Foster's office to ask for advice for the pain, and made an appointment to see her as soon as I had returned. By the time I returned from vacation, the pain wasn't as severe. She and her staff tested the tooth and said the need was immediate. I fully expected her to do the same thing she had done when I first came into her office and refer me to someone who knew what they were doing... i.e. an endodontist. She didn't do this, even though she has repeatedly told me that she did give me a referral. My memory of that root canal that she performed was one that left me less than confident in her services and skills. She couldn't find one of the canals and didn't continue with the procedure. She told me she was afraid of damaging the tooth and stopped. I essentially had an incomplete root canal. In the past few months, I developed a draining fistula in the same tooth that she had worked on in 2018. I sought a second opinion and also changed dentists. The second opinion informed me that the root canal had not been completed. I had to get a second root canal on the same tooth! I was placed on antibiotics due to a prolonged infection in that tooth. I was out major $$ that I had not budgeted for due to incomplete work on Dr. Foster's part. The endodontist that I saw had the right equipment and easily found the canal that Dr. Foster claimed was not visible. Even my untrained eyes and ignorance around x-rays could see where she had missed a canal. The problems with my tooth are fixed, but not without major expenditure. I asked Dr. Foster for a partial refund due to the incomplete work, and she denied any kind of refund and placed the blame and responsibility back in my lap for so called "refusing" a referral at the time she did the root canal. She didn't refer me. She said she could do it, and I simply agreed to it, because I wasn't given a choice. Her staff even said "Dr. Foster does beautiful root canals, you'll love her work." I would have chosen a specialist had I been given a choice. I thought that she would have referred me immediately, in the same manner that she had when I first sought out her care. She didn't. So, here I am, out $$ due to having had to have the same procedure done (correctly, this time) twice on the same tooth. So, if you need anything more than general cleaning, a check up, or a cavity filled, find another dentist. Or, be sure to get second opinions. I regret not having gotten one in 2018, because I had to get as second root canal on the same tooth to correct and fully finish what had not been done at the time. read more

Been coming here for 25 years! My daughter was so sad when her company only had Kaiser dental...she didn't like not going to Dr. Foster. And another daughter was visiting from Colorado and came into Dr. Foster so she could repair a bad job done by her Colorado dentist. A true testament for kids who have grown up with Dr. Foster who hate to leave her. read more

I was a patient with Dr. Foster's office for the past 10 years, but recently move out of state. When you walk into the office you're greeted by Shannon and a wonderfully friendly staff. When you feel welcomed by a company, it's important, this office has great patient care. I'm not the most pleasant in the chair, I'm rather sensitive but Dee or Lina are always there to make me relax and just enjoy the ride! Karen's smiling face and energetic personality make a cleaning so much more fun! What I love most is how Dr. Foster is always happy to explain procedures to me, it's very comforting. This office cares about their patients and is put together. Billing with with the office manager is an easy task and she's really patient and explains everything, knows her stuff! When you've seen the same friendly faces it's nice to feel comforted! They keep their schedule pretty tight, so when they can squeeze in an emergency, it's pretty great! They're very understanding and really people. Highly recommend this dental office! read more

Hands down, my favorite dentist of all time. I was scared to go see a dentist after years of neglect and I was so relieved with the way I was treated. Even with a long list of things to do, I feel relaxed and in good care with the confidence of Dr. Foster. read more

This is by far the most unprofessional dental office ive ever been treated at. The staff is inconceivibly rude and arrogant. I moved here not too long ago looking for a new dentist and looked on yelp for reviews. Im sorry to say I was completely mislead by previous reviews. I am a new mother so I need someone who can be flexible with my schedule as I am home with my baby during the day while my husband is at work. We also share a car right now. They are open like three days a week. I was having a lot of pain in my jaw, swelling, and a tight feeling. Come to find out I have wisdom teeth coming in. Extremely painful. I was asked if I could come in at 8:30 monday morning and I said I could take the car and yes I would like to come in then. I was also told by an advice nurse over the weekend (as I almost went to the er because of the pain) to call my dentist and have them prescribe me pain medication until they can see me. So anyways later in the afternoon I get a call back from Shannon at the front desk who had asked dr.foster if that was ok. It was not because of legalities. Also she had to switch my appointment to tuesday because I wasnt really scheduled for that 8:30 appointment and it got filled. However they could see me that day at 4:00 to get me a prescription today. So I tell her my situation which is that I am at home with my newborn and do not have the car. I get a call back from dr.foster who tells me herself that that is not an excuse and I can take a cab or have a neighbor take me which a) I just moved here and dont know anyone who I could ask b) don't have my car seat for my child and c) dont have the money to spend on a cab. Yet here she is telling me whats what and she doesnt know whats going on or why I cant make it in. I need notice. Then she proceeded to tell me that if I cant afford to stick to her dental plan she will not see me as a patient. I was supposed to come up with $350 that I would pay them when I come in so we can do a root canal. I dont know about any of you but I am on a tight budget and need time to come up with extra money. I mean shes talking to me like I dont care about my teeth. I just have never been spoken to like that from a health provider before and it definitely was not warranted. Lastly I was reffered to an oral surgeon by them and with them being my dental office you would think they would recommend someone who was a preferred provider but they did not. So I call them for a list of who would be to be informed that I am no longer a patient there without any sort of notice. Verbal or written but was told they can send me a formal letter if I want. LOL! ! I will never be returning here for any sort of dental care nor will I ever recommend anyone to go here. Save your money and time. There are dental providers out there who care about their patients and are understanding of financial hard times. This office is full of heartless unprofessional condescending arrogant jerks with no consideration to the people they are there servicing. read more

I have been going to Dr. Foster's office for 10 years. After having several bad experiences with Dentists that had no clue what they were doing, I was so relieved to find an office of people that knew what they were doing. The office is full of knowledgeable, friendly and efficient staff that make you feel confident in their skill. Dr. Foster and team corrected all the issues I had from previous dentists and got me on a path that has kept me major problem free for ten years. The office manager Shannon is amazing. Literally amazing. She takes care of everything and makes it look easy! If you need dental work done, this is the best office for you. read more

Honestly the only reason they are getting a two star is because their hygienist was very nice and gentle and they eventually accommodated me after a miscommunication on their part but I will not be back for sure. I found the place out dated with equipment (X-ray machine looked like it was from the 90s and the assistant seemed like she had never done one before, they took forever and were painful and I have never experienced that at previous places) and my appointment was over 2 hrs long (I was a new patient so I somewhat expected this) but that was after I get there to find out they just scheduled me for a new patient consultation and not my cleaning which is the whole reason I was there in the first place! They were pretty pushy when it came to their recommendations one of them being a teeth whiting which in my opinion is not a necessary nor urgent procedure. read more
