Allen C Foster, MD

All went well. Nice people!

Parking is horrendous and needs to be improved...also 2 parking attendants are needed at founders and east buildings. Traffic gets backed up when there is only 1 attendant.

My provider was rude and threatening. Everyone else treated me respectfully and were helpful.

Dr Foster is a very caring Doctor

Very excellent. I was in good hands. Very confident they knew what they were doing.

When using Mychart--it was not easy to checkin on line for me. After login it was difficult to locate the screen to checkin with "I'm here".

I don't care for the reminders a week before my appointment. Also , the query on the day of the appointment, "Are you here".

I appreciated Dr. Foster's up front approach. I feel ike he is very approachable regarding my needs.

Thanks

Dr. Foster explained things in a very clear understandable manner. He went over my previous test results and showed why my CPAP macghine is needed.Gave helpful clear examples of getting back to sleep at 4AM.Also suggested book to read. He is an outstanding personable MD.Som glad that he is my DR.

Dr.Foster did an excellent job of explaining everything to us.

Dr. Foster was great and listened very intently to all of my concerns.

Dr foster was the most courteous doctor I have ever had! Very nice and good at his job.

Dr Foster was great!

Yeah, this experience up there was not enjoyable. My appointment was at 10:15 and it was 11:30 by the time I got out there. And I've probably seen the doctor a whole two minutes in that time. The receptionists don't know what they're doing. It's the most dysfunctional part of the whole clinic. Goodbye.

Great staff. Kind and friendly.

Great

Dr Foster is very good at explaining what to do. Very good doctor.

While I know this is somewhat out of your control (Medicare requirements) I appreciate the fact that when I raised the question about a virtual visit I was able to get one for the future. I see no need to travel 45 minutes one way for a 15 minute visit when everything is and has been stable.

Wonderful doctor. He is the only doctor that gave me further information about my sleep and some insomnia. Great information. I would see him again. It's such a blessing to have a doctor care and not a pull pusher like so many. Thank you.

Provider started out fine but when I tried to pose questions 3 times the provider interrupted me before I finished asking a question. Must have had a bad day as I've not experienced that with others. First time meeting this provider. I wasn't impressed.

Dr. Foster does a great job! Knowledgeable and very professional!

Notice that my prescription expired in August would have been appreciated. This was a form I completed online and had no interaction with anyone at the clinic. Otherwise was quick.

First time meeting Dr Foster; they need to clone him! He was very easy to talk with and explained options for different masks for myself and my husband who just got a machine 3 days prior to my appointment. Take care of him and keep him at Gundersen!

I waited quite a while for someone to come on MyChart and tell me that the doctor was running late. But the nurse I spoke to and the doctor I spoke to were excellent!

Life is good. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas ?? to the Sleep Center!

Was an in person visit, not video. Dr Foster is great!

Great experience. Doctor was great at explaining and answering questions.

My chart does not work the way it use to. I believe it may have changed when it switched to Emplify Health. When I am in the app and on an appointment it gives you an option to add the appointment to my calendar. The appointment adds to the day but no longer does it add to the correct time. If the appointment is for 2 pm it should add it to 2pm. Instead it adds the appointment as an all day event Instead of a time specific.

I met with Dr Foster in person this time - video - and I got a sense of his warm, capable, basic humanity. I left grateful that my apnea is in his hands.

Have been doing alot of prior authorization lately with many procedures and tests and medications around 5 mths or so. Have to keep on top of things to get things done. Frustrating!

The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional!

Very good appointment.

Very competent care and personable service.

I'm pleased and happy to have my primary care and sleep specialist with gundersen. I like my doctors, they're very professional and make you feel welcomed and they're very personable.

The doctor was great! The two receptionists at check in were gossiping and complaining about their receptionist colleagues and supervisor the ENTIRE time I waited, which was over 30 minutes I length. I found this very unprofessional, unpleasant, and uncomfortable. This is not common in other departments I have been to in Gundersen.

He was very nice and showed me the computer screen as he explained my issues. Made it nice and easy to understand as he explained things. Very pleased

Dr. Foster was very helpful!

I'm finding it confusing to navigate the new format of mychart. It seems harder to find the information I look for, mostly in communications. Where do I go if I want to send a message to my care team?

loved the dr , explain everything very well

Visit was very helpful and informative.

Too many text reminders, emails etc. Especially when I have multiple appts close together. I feel bombared.

The doctor was very personable and explained everything in detail. Appreciated he took the time to check insurance coverage before proceeding with treatment plan. In order to give me my next appointment in a timely manner, his staff called and after I question them how this was possible, I was told he was seeing me during his lunch time.?

Dr Foster is the most dedicated physician I ever seen, excellent provider and very knowledgeable !

It was very informative.

Dr. Foster is great! Very caring and down to earth. Would highly recommend him.

Dr. Foster talks with my elderly mother making sure she can hear him. He does not talk down to her and comes up with solution to her use issues with cpap. Thank you for a great visit.

Thanks for a very good experience with my new doctor. As always, Gundersen Health provides competence and care superbly.

You slant your request for feedback to positive answers. The person at the desk who checked me in did so in the usual routine manner. I find these constant requests annoying. I have written to senior management in the past with real concerns and beenTOTALLY ignored.

Everyone was friendly & pleasant. Dr. Foster treated you as a person not just a patient and was very friendly.

Dr Foster was so kind and so willing to help. Gave me numerous ways and suggestions to improve. i was excited to be able to try the suggestions.

OUTSDANDING

Dr Foster is top notch and help me understand a lot about CPAP. I am most comfortable sharing concerns. He helped me understand how to use my machine better. He is great to work with.

Dr. Foster took the time to talk about how my current health issues could be affecting my sleep patterns, integrating behavioral and life changes I can implement to improve things. I truly appreciate his common sense approach and how he gave me the tools that empower me to take control of my sleep health.

Outstanding!

Dr. Foster did not rush through details and did a thorough job of explaining my need for a breathing device by comparing my sleep study findings with guidelines established by both Emplify and Medicare. He explained the possible connection between interrupted sleep caused by airway issues, and other health related problems.

It was very nice to reconnect with Doctor Foster at your hospital. He takes extra time to talk with you and covers everything about my CPAP and health concerns. Staff was great. Thanks
