I got LASIK eye surgery at the Loveland location in December 2025. From the initial consultation and eye exam to the procedure with Dr. Foster to the pre-op and post-op appointments, everything has been a phenomenal experience. I really wanted to make sure I made the right choice with my vision - I only have 2 eyes, after all! I had consultations at other facilities around and went with this eye center due to their knowledge, thoroughness, care, and transparency. I have felt so taken care of every step of the way, and every single staff member I've interacted with has been so kind, knowledgeable, informative, and transparent with me. I especially appreciated the transparent and honest communication around the possibility for halos and/or glare in my night vision due to my larger pupil size. That transparency let me know that would be working with providers with honesty, knowledge, and integrity, which was the moment I decided to go forward with the procedure with Eye Center of Northern Colorado. The actual procedure was such a great experience from beginning to end. Kim at the front desk, Dr. Foster, and all of the nurses and staff were so kind, encouraging, and professional. They even made sure to play my song of choice in the background for me during the surgery. I am so grateful to Dr. Foster and the team for giving me my vision back. My results have been phenomenal. I would recommend laser eye surgery at the Eye Center of Northern Colorado to anyone who is interested in an alternative to glasses or contacts. THANK YOU DR. FOSTER AND TEAM! ♥️

I want to commend Dr. Foster and the wonderful and thoroughly professional staff at the Eye Center Of Northern Colorado! Almost 70, I've worn glasses since the age of six. That's when I suffered a minor concussion from an incoming swing on the playground! The world was a very fuzzy and confusing place that I couldn't quite see. Through the years my eyes got progressively worse. Entering the final chapters of my life cataracts developed making it that much more difficult to see and navigate while driving. As a result I became more isolated staying home and driving only when necessary. Having cataract and corrective surgery has changed the direction of my life dramatically. Colors and details are so vivid it's like discovering a whole new world! I'm incredibly grateful to Dr. Foster who is a masterful surgeon. Thank also to everyone there who assured that I was comfortable at all times. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Sonja Anderson

I had another fantastic experience using Dr Foster and his well experienced team. From the first visit through the day of surgery everyone communicates clearly and professionally. I am writing this the morning after surgery and just had my follow up appointment. The healing has just begun and I am already seeing 20/20. Thank you to each and every one of you for the service I received.
