Footer, Richard

I feel that Dr. Footer is a good doctor for general visits and exams, and was excellent when things did not go as planned. My first pregnancy was uneventful until I became suddenly developed pre-eclampsia during my 37th week. Dr. Footer asked me to come in to the hospital on a Saturday morning after I tested my blood pressure at home. My labs revealed that I needed to deliver and Dr. Footer was very gentle and clear explaining why we needed to induce labor. Unfortunately my almost 30 hour induction was not successful, but Dr. Footer never rushed me or pressured me to do a c-section until late Sunday afternoon when my labor had clearly stalled completely. He only went home for 4-5 hours during the middle of the night that weekend. I agreed to the c-section, which I recovered from rather easily. When my second pregnancy turned out to be ectopic Dr. Footer once again was very compassionate, meeting with my husband and I after office hours to explain difficult test results. He also stayed with us at the ER for a couple hours as medications were ordered to treat the ectopic pregnancy on a Friday night. Above and beyond his duty. He was very supportive of my desire for a VBAC for my daughter's birth and helped me to have a smooth VBAC delivery with her. I highly recommend Dr. Footer.

I believe he is on Angie's List. I had promised him I would give him a report and I never followed through on that. I feel terrible and want to give him an A+ because, I messed up. We have lived through numerous heavy rainstorms and area flash floods with no water in the basement. We had a little bit of moisture after the first time. He came right over that very same day, dug it up, and set a new trench, so, that it flowed into our interior sump pump which he also installed. That's been definitely two years. They were prompt. They were inexpensive. It was just a great job.

Dr. Footer is outstanding, and I would not hesitate to recommend him. The nurses at Holy Cross love him, which should tell you everything you need to know.

I HAVE BEEN GOING TO HIM FOR ABOUT FIVE YEARS. THE PRACTICE INCLUDES HIS WIFE MARLA, WHO IS HIS ASSISTANT. THEY ARE REALLY PERSONABLE. I HAVE NEVER HAD TROUBLE GETTING AN APPOINTMENT. THEY MINIMIZE THE FEELING OF VULNERABILITY AND MAXIMIZE PROFESSIONALISM WITHOUT BEING COLD. MY INSURANCE COVERS ALL THE COST EXCEPT A $25 CO-PAY.

I have been extremely pleased with the care and advice that Dr. Footer has given me. His thorough explanation of my symptoms and their possible causes helped me to truly understand my treatment choices. By helping me to make informed decisions, he helped me to feel in control of my situation and comfortable with my course of treatment. In addition, he participates with my insurance, so I get this great level of care for just the price of a copay!
