reviews
“Dr Foster is amazing. My son is autistic and he listens carefully to our concerns and understands our struggles as parents. His bedside manner is superb.
My daughter loves Andrea King. She had a great way about her and connects well with my daughter.”
“We have been going to Bentonville Pediatrics for 13 years for all of my kids and they continue to deliver with a sense of urgency, expertise, rationale for medical recommendations, and bedside manner. Dr. Foster is an absolute favorite; he’s great with kids of all ages. We’ve put him to the test on our kids as infants through middle schoolers. As a germophobe mom, I especially love that Dr. Foster has taken the time and investment to continually refresh, update, remodel, and maintain a crisp, clean shop. The latest refresh is great❤️. Since I am a working mom, I most value Dr. Foster‘s punctuality and efficiency with appointments, while he still manages to be super friendly and conversational - which helps my kids feel comfortable. My time comes at a premium, so I also don’t take the time to write a review for a whole lot of people, but these folks do so much for our family year over year - and with a smile - that other mamas deserve to know about it.”
