I’m from Hobart and was feeling overwhelmed after my cancer diagnosis. Dr Foster explained the radiation therapy process clearly and answered all my questions. The whole team made the treatment feel manageable, and I felt cared for during every follow-up. So grateful we have this option right here in Hobart.
Had my first consultation for cancer treatment at Dr Foster’s clinic on Melville Street. He was patient, respectful, and didn’t rush through anything. The radiation plan was tailored to my needs, and the palliative care options gave me real peace of mind for the weeks ahead.
Relieved to find a highly competent Radiation Oncologist in Hobart. Dr Foster took time to explain the potential side effects and what to expect during treatment. The team was supportive during every step of the radiation therapy process.
I live in Sandy Bay and preferred a local option for my follow-up care after radiation treatment. Dr Foster’s follow-ups were thorough, and he helped coordinate a clear plan with my other specialists. Definitely recommend.
From the moment I walked into the Hobart clinic, I felt I was in good hands. Dr Foster listens, explains the treatment options in plain language, and respects your choices. Thank you for guiding us through a tough time.
As someone undergoing palliative care discussions, I appreciated Dr Foster’s compassionate approach. He and the team laid out realistic goals and supported my family with honest, practical advice. Highly reassuring care here in Hobart.
Great experience in 2 Melville Street, with entrance via Campbell Street. The radiation therapy was well explained, and the appointments ran on time. I felt seen and supported throughout my treatment journey.
