Dr. Terrance J. Foster - Chico, California

Jeani K.

In 2007 I moved to Chico and a coworker recommended Dr. Smith and Foster on Rio Lindo. I was very happy with both Dr's, Smith & Foster, had such great bedside manner & really listened to me. I even followed them when they moved their office just a block away. When Dr. Smith left, Dr. Gauslin was added (Great Dr also) but he later moved on, yet Foster was there for me and I felt safe in his care. In 2016 I lost my job, became disabled & sadly medi-cal was not accepted at Cohasset Medical Group & I was not able to see Foster anylonger. The care I recieved at Ampla was less than adequate, no connection or trust was established and my health declined rapidly. A couple of years ago I was eligible for Medicare & quickly called to get back in to see Dr Foster yet the office staff told me he wasn't accepting new patients! I've since been unable to find another GP, even after writing a letter directly to Dr Foster (did he ever see it?) Office staff says he is retiring yet my insurance tells me he is accepting new patients, what is going on? It's hard enough finding a doctor in Chico, Florence health closed & now I'm without a local physician... Dr Foster was the best, and I really wish he'd let me come back, even for a little while as a returning patient.

Dr. Foster is great. He was my parents doctor for over ten years and my doctor for many years as well. Since the virus has hit, they have closed the doors and aren't answering their phones. When you can get some one on the phone, they all seem like they are mad, and very short. They used to be so nice. Very frustrating as I don't really want to find a new doctor, even if I could. I'm paying my insurance premiums, but can't even use them. Stupid me.

Dr Foster has been a good doctor to my mother for over 12 years. But he seems to be slipping, forgetting to follow through with what he does. Either this, or his staff doesn't follow through. My mother hasn't been able to reach the office by phone since the Paradise fires. Her caregiver had to take my Mom into the office to contact the staff for any reason. My Mom moved to live with me (her daughter) at the end of February. Dr. Foster said, he would send 3 months of medication to my Mom's new address but didn't follow through. Now my Mom is out of 3 of her medications. SilverScript has never heard from Dr. Foster. His office still won't answer their phones. I can't fly back to Chico to make this right! Very sad and frustrated.

I moved to Chico in January and submitted a request for medical records in person around February 10th being told the whole process could take anywhere up to 2-3 weeks. Around the first of March I became very sick with the flu and a sinus issue. Calling in to check on the status of my records request I was told by I believe Georgina at the front desk, who is who I've spoken with on each occasion, that she faxed my request to the wrong address and was resending it that second, this was about 3 weeks to a month after the initial request.

My Florida doctor received the request only a week after they were resent. I had them verify with me once they received the request and sent it back, which was done same day. This was over 4 weeks ago that it was sent back. I have since called about once a week to check on the status as I urgently needed antibiotics and continued to receive them from Urgent Care for a steep co-pay.

Despite stressing this urgency on multiple occasions, which was met with 0 compassion or concern, and being told "I would receive a call whenever they arrived"...

I am not sure what the issue is, whether someone misplaced my request or what could possibly cause a CERTIFIED medical document shipped 4 weeks ago to a verified address to disappear... I don't want to make claims but it's just phishy and I feel like my time has been supremely wasted as now I will wait another two weeks to a month to retrieve records at a new doctor and another costly trip to Urgent Care.

Dr Foster, Dr Rogna, and the nurses/staff are Amazing! Courteous, knowledgeable, and all around 5-Star practice! I haven't left them since I first walked through their doors in 2008. You won't be disappointed! 🙂

One of those rare doctors who is genuinely concerned about the wellbeing of his patients and will go to any lengths to work with you towards achieving it. He listens well and only suggests, never criticizes or condemns, he is a true doctor.

Dr. Foster is great! He needs t o get rid of his staff. You need to contact the office 5 or 6 times to get any answers. His staff is incompetent.

Dr Foster is an awesome physician. I am thankful that I have access to such a great Dr.
