I recently had LASIK surgery by Dr. Foster. I could not be happier with the results and can not speak highly enough about Dr. Foster and the rest of the staff. The preliminary appointments were all very simple and everyone I dealt with treated me with courtesy and respect. The day of the procedure I was nervous but Dr. Foster and the staff in the center took care of that. They really helped me relax during the surgery and I could not believe the results. I did research a bunch of Dr.s for LASIK and am extremely happy that I chose Dr. Foster.

I couldn't be more pleased. I got up in the middle of the night last week and for the first time since 1963, , without glasses, I could see the stars. Thank you Dr. Foster!

No rationale provided, no call, and after the doctor had ostensibly already reviewed the scans. Told to possibly wait 8 months to "stabilize", not sure in or ...

I recently had LASIK surgery done by Dr. Foster. The entire experience could not have been easier. Dr. Foster and his staff are friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and courteous. I know several people who have had their LASIK done by him, and all are happy. My eyesight is now better than 20/20, and it's thanks to Dr. Foster and his amazing staff! If you are considering LASIK,
