My first impression of Dr Foster was I thought she was great. I still love her, I feel she has saved my life, and I am so glad my primary physcian referred me to her. Her office staff is extremely helpful. The only negative thing I can think of to say is that she is usually running late, I had to wait 2 hours to see her once. Her aftercare is great, and I actually look forward to seeing her. I would rate Dr Foster a 9.5 out of 10. I would and have recommended her to friends.

Dr. Legha is a part of Camino Medical Group in Sunnyvale now. I went to an informational seminar that he held along with several other health care providers. It was filled with great details and program ideas. Their process is down to a science and they have a lot of support that they require you to use in order to assure success. I have an appt on Oct 27 for my consultation with him. So far he seems like an excellent physician.

Dr. Foster is fantastic. She presents herself with confidence and professionalism. She helped me and my boyfriend to better understand the risks and benefits of surgery with out sugar coating. The nurses and receptionist in her office are all really sweet, and helpful. I would rate Dr. Foster a 10 overall. I am not interested in having a doctor who will baby me through this process, I want someone who is realistic and competent. Dr. Foster is just right.

Dr. Foster is an Excellent Surgeon. She is kind and cares about you as a person. She is no nonsense straight forward person. I would recommend her to anyone.

My first impression of Dr. Foster was that I liked her a lot. She was very knowledgeable and I truly felt like this was going to be a successful endeavor. I had some problems in the beginning with the office staff trying to cancel appointments when I live 600 miles round trip and had already made hotel reservations, time off from work, etc...but we overcame this problem and it was resolved. This only happened twice in the umteen times I went. Yvette and many of the staff there are wonderful! Like I said only in the beginning did I have an issue with the receptionist. rnrnDr. Foster is friendly and personable; I like her a lot and she knows her stuff. Although she's a no nonsense kind of doctor - she expects you to follow the rules so you will be successful.rnrnThe after care program is thorough with set time for visits and followups., labs, etc. rnrnShe goes over the risks of surgery before you even start the insurance authorization and doesn't sugar coat what could happen. She will evaluate your risk factors and expect you to lose at least 20 lbs to get you in the mind set. I lost 35 prior to my surgery by talking with her nutritionalist - we did it.rnrnI've lost 154 pounds (including the 35) and feel healthy and active. I don't regret it! I feel really fortunate to have such a great surgeon...I would rate her overall 100% on surgical competence and follow up visits. rnrnLeast favorite thing: I was disappointed that she didn't stop in to see me at all after my surgery while I was in the hospital. I was there for five days and she didn't make it in once. She did have the hospital rounds doctor check on me after I was there for two days...I never did see her, which bothered me a lot. But in spite of that, I wouldn't change a thing about any of it.rnrnI guess the most important thing to me was that she is an excellent surgeon and you will be in good hands if you go with thinnerfuture.com Dr. Pamela Foster.rnrnJan

I am a very detail oriented and careful person. I knew from the beginning that she was the one for me. I highly recommend her she is an excellent Doctor. She is strict, honest and open. She made me loose weight when other doctors don't. This was not fun but it has been a life changing experience for me.

I was so nervous to meet with Dr. Feng for my consultation because of past interactions with doctors. When I stepped on that scale and saw what I weighed before Dr. Feng came in the room I just wanted to run out. To my surprise and delight, he didn’t bat an eye at that huge number. He didn’t berate me, or belittle me. Dr. Feng was concerned for me with such a high BMI but wasn’t judgmental. He talked with me for over 2 hours about the different WLS that were available and answered every one of my questions. I felt totally as ease with him. I decided to have the VSG. My surgery took an hour and went smoothly. Dr. Feng spoke with my family right after the surgery and made them all feel at ease and comfortable. His bedside manner in the hospital was wonderful and I felt taken care of. Dr. Feng really stresses aftercare. I can see him every month for an office visit if I wanted to and he runs the monthly support group I attend. He is always available to answer questions through email and phone calls. He certainly makes me feel like I am important and that makes all the difference in the world. I would highly recommend Dr. Feng to anyone I know!

Dr. Foster is wonderful! Hands down she is the best at what she does! I would and have recommended her to several people. She is very informative, incredibly supportive, extremely knowledgeable, and eager to answer my questions. In fact, she never hesitates to answer any of my questions and even if I don't have an appointment she takes time out of her busy day to help me. Her staff is exceptional as well. I really appreciate everything that her and her staff have done for me.
