Pamela Foster Bariatric Surgeon M.D.

When I first met Dr.Foster I wasn't sure which surgery to have.She was very sensitive to me and also very professional.I went back several times before decided on the band.Shernis very firm in her WLS and expects her patients to be too.She was always very helpful and available prior,through and after surgery.rnI can't say enough about her staff.Yvette is a doll.She has been so helpful and supportive to me.I look foward to my office visits.rnI think future patients should be as informed as they can be on the surgery and what to expect.Then discuss with your doctor all they expect.rnI have to say Dr.Foster overall was best in all aspects- surgical competence, bedside manner, and real care and concern for you thernperson.

Dr. Foster is very intelligent, caring, strong, funny, and attractive. She will not take any B.S. and that is great with me. She wants only patients she believes will be successful. She has an excellent staff. She goes overall the benefits and risks of surgery with great detail. I look forward to having a strong relationship and her support as I know this will be one of the most important decisions of my life.

Dr. Foster left a great first impression on me. She was very detailed in taking my history, considering if I was a candidate, discussing my options and then telling me what to expect. rnrnHer staff is also amazing (truly). They are all very personable. But I do find that the office usually runs behind on appts.rnrnDr. Foster provides you information about the support group (through the hospital), and after care.rnrnDr. Foster was recommended by several of my co-workers and I too recommend her as well.

Dr Foster is very efficient, competent and patient doctor. Her office staff is great and worked with me to reschedule my surgery when I chickened out. She has high expectations of her patients and I will do my best to meet or exceed them.

rnI absolutly love Dr. Foster. I totally trust her and feel totally good about my new journey with her. She is such a great thing for me and just love her to death. I can't wait to continue my new journey with her by my side. She is truely a great surgeon....rnshe totally believes in the aftercare program and wants you to fully succeed with your new found life. She gave me so much information and answered all my questions with the upmost care and concerns. I don't have anything negitive to say about her... She is simply wonderful and glad I found her to do my sugery.

I have met with my surgeon 2 times and my impression of her was that she seemed so nice and she knows what she is doing..I love her office staff they are so helpful they make you feel at ease. so far like I said i have met her 2 times will post more as time goes by.

I really like Dr Foster. She has always been so friendly and seemed excited that I was going through with having the surgery. She did an excellent job with keeping the incisions small.rnI would highly recommend her as surgeon choice to anyone.rnHowever, I was hurt by her response at my first follow-up appt. She was a little condescending because I want to go back to the local doctor for my follow-up care because of transportation and financial issues (100+ miles one way to her office, plus outrageous cost of gasoline in California...not to mention having to ask someone to take me because my car won't make it over the hills). My local doctor is 15 miles away. rnDr Foster is an excellent surgeon if you live in the SF Bay Area.

When I meet Dr. Pamela Foster I knew my life it was starting to change she did told me the I was a candidate for the bariatric surgery so I was very happy, she is very profesional and staff too.rnrnrnMy surgery is caming up on 03/12/2007rnrnI am very happy

I think Dr Foster is the best! I had my RNY sugery July 26, 2006. I have had zero complications and could not feel better. Her surgical competence and bedside manner are off the charts!! If you are searching for a wonderful surgeon with great office staff and a structured aftercare program search no more!! rn

My mom and I shared the same surgeon for our surgeries so I knew that Dr. Foster would be fabulous, I wasn't disappointed. She is firm, and she expects you to do what you are supposed to. I'm really glad that I got to pick her to save my life! She did a great job, my scars are minimal and I haven't had any complications.rnrnHer staff is fabulous as well. Everyone there was very friendly and encouraging.
