I have taken my pups to Dr foster since bringing them home at 7 weeks old in 2010. He was always great with them and had respect for his vast knowledge. However, since retiring, the three Dr's that bought the practice have left me cold, with poor responses to my pet's needs, Terrible diagnosing, could careless attitude, and unavailability. Who's ever heard of a No doctors in the office on Monday's, 3 of them, and when trying to schedule a follow up after taking them to a different facility, was told not for 2 days and the doctor was leaving for the day at 4:15. Really. Terrible after the service from Dr Foster, including always having is home phone number. Take your pets anywhere but there Read Less

Awesome, Kind, Very Affordable I clearly remember my wife coming home after her 1st visit here. It stands out because the look on her face as she was describing her experience was puzzled (to say the least). She told me how "wierd" she thought the Veterinarian and the entire experience was. I asked if he was rude, and she said no. In fact, she said he was very nice. The next time, I went with her to see this "weird" vet office. I laughed to myself when i realized what she meant. It's a small 50's house turned into a vet office, and is filled with unique personalities (especially the doctor). The general vibe here can sometimes "feel" a little chaotic and no nonsense. I think they could benefit from some upgraded computers and/or systems as well. That said, I have never once felt apprehensive about taking my dogs here, or leaving them overnight. We have both been back to take our dogs to this vet roughly 8-9 times, and will 100% recommend him to others in a heartbeat. Our most recent visit was a very scary one for our 8yr old Yorkie (and us). She had to have immediate surgery on her Uterus, or she would have died within hours. IMPORTANT!! The surgery that costs $1,000 - $1,800 at 3 other vets in town (I called) cost us less than $600 at this vet. This covered EVERYTHING (surgery, meds, follow up, food, cone-o-shame, etc) Once it was done, the doctor told us he would like to take our Yorkie home with him for the night so he could keep an eye on her. I was blown away when I heard this. I don't believe that our dog would have received even 1/2 of this kind of caring and attention from another vet. The doctor called us later that night to give an update on how she was, and told us to call him if we had any questions or concerns. The next day he called to say that she was recovering well, and ready to go home. BONUS - The vet didn't even charge us for the 3 different medications she needed. He also gave us 4 cans of prescription grade food for her to eat FOR FREE!! ALSO, he told us that he would pull 3 of her teeth and trim her nails for FREE while she was already under anesthesia!! (she desperately needed her teeth done, but we couldn't afford it) WHAAAAATTTTT?!?!? This guy truly wants to help!! Obviously he wants to make money as well, but he doesn't want to make it by nickel-and-diming people to death. Does the doctor come across a little "frazzled" or "odd" the first time you meet him....... probably. It took us a few times of going here to realize that he is just a "no nonsense" - "straightforward" - "get to the point" kind of guy. He has a lot going on, and I believe he even has another office in PC, but as others have also mentioned.....once it's your turn to be seen, you and your pet have his undivided attention. His personality is actually very refreshing, but can definitely be a little foreign and/or come across as "rude" to anyone growing up in the "beat around the bush" capital of the world (i.e. Utah). If YOU are looking to be pampered, catered to, or for someone to listen to you rant on and on about every little nuance your little "bootsie" has.... This might not be the place for you. If you're looking for a genuine, caring, straightforward, honest, down to earth, easy on the pocketbook vet that will care for your pet like his own..... This is the place for you!! Read Less

We first went to Dr. Foster at Millcreek Veterinary for our cats starting in 2001. He was always kind and knowledgeable with every issue our pets had. When one of our cats was diagnosed with kidney disease in 2004, Dr. Foster helped us keep him alive and happy for as long as possible, which turned out to be 11 months longer than the original estimate. After moving out of state for several years, we recently reconnected with Millcreek due to our cat having a severely infected toe. Dr. Foster gave us a tremendous amount of information based on likelihood of success with various treatment options so that we could make a fully informed decision. Although sometimes you might wait a bit in the waiting room, it's because his office always finds a way to get sick animals in as quickly as possible and give pets and their families all the time necessary to help them make the best possible decision for their situation. Because he has been in practice for so long, he has knowledge about even unusual conditions, which is incredibly helpful. He also tries to help clients make decisions that take into consideration their financial situation as well as relative risks and benefits of treatments. Our cat's toe is currently on the mend and Dr. Foster is helping us heal some other claw issues our cat is dealing with. It's obvious that he and his staff care deeply about the animals they see, and they are gentle and kind to both pets and their families. We are so grateful to have found this clinic. Read Less

Dr Foster is the best! Maybe not the most friendly but definitely the most knowledgeable and caring about your pet. He also sometimes tries to take a holistic approach instead of using medicine. Sometimes this is cheaper and works, so I like that! I have a problem child dog that seems to have something catastrophic every year, they always do a good job with her and seems to be fair on pricing. Seem to be really fair on the cost of shots. The only thing is they have one lady who isn't very smart or helpful but on the other hand they have another lady that really is knowledgeable and goes out of her way to help you. Read Less

If they are slow it's because they are busy but they really try to help everyone! Read Less

Millcreek Vet has been our clinic since 1980. Dr. Foster and his very caring staff over the past years have provided outstanding medical care for our six dogs. Dr. Foster always explains in depth several options that are available to take and has guided us wisely. We just made a move to Hawaii with our two dogs and Millcreek Vet was a huge part of this process. Zuke and Jordan are island pups now and loving life. There were many hoops to jump through and it all went smoothly because of their knowledge and professionalism. We will be hard pressed to find the level of care on Maui that we did in Salt Lake, yet we are hopeful. Many, many thanks to all of you at Millcreek Vet for your care!
