Alabama resident Lindsay Smothers and her husband spent years researching treatment options for their daughterโ€™s flat feet diagnosis. Due to the pain in her feet since she was a toddler, 10-year-old Lola was an ideal candidate for the EOTTS procedure. She called many other places closer to home without feeling at peace. When she spoke with Carrie, Dr. Foster's patient care coordinator, she immediately felt at home, as if they were family. Lindsay traveled 12 hours from Alabama to meet Dr. Foster one time before opting for the EOTTS procedure for her daughter. โ€œEveryone in the office made my daughter feel so comfortable. We have zero regrets, and we would do it all again."
