WHAT OUR PATIENTS

HAVE TO SAY

Dr. Michael Foster is one of he greatest professionals I have ever met. Dr Foster performed an extraction, bone graft and implant plus found a problem with another tooth that no other dentist ever mentioned but the problem is clearly visible on my past x-rays. Dr. Foster and his team are the best in all aspects from the first appointment to follow ups. If you need an oral surgeon or a second opinion that you can trust then I highly recommend Dr Foster and his team.
