Four Generations of Medical Care by Dr. Foad: I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Foad when he was associated with the Burlington Orthopaedic group 25 years ago. I had a minor elbow injury which he immediately recognized. I was so impressed with the care I received I referred my father for a knee replacement. Not only did he replace my father’s knees he also suggested he see a neurologist for tremors he was having in his feet. My dad was later diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Dr. Foad was so kind and attentive during all examinations my family held him in high regard.

I have been seen by Dr. Foad several times over the years, including his Keokuk and Clinton locations. Dr. Foad repaired a torn meniscus in my left knee in 2010 and also discovered I had a fracture, something the radiologist missed. I drove from Fort Madison to Clinton for that particular procedure. My daughter was recently referred to Minneapolis by Dr. Foad for the best surgeon he knew that could perform the surgery she needed, which was a surgery Dr. Foad doesn’t do. Dr. Foad is handling her follow-up treatment.

I have recently had total knee replacements for both knees by Dr. Foad. No question my first and only choice was Dr. Foad. While I am still recovering, I am more than satisfied with the care that I continue to receive from Dr. Foad. I currently live in the QC area and anytime I run into him, be it football field, basketball court, or a restaurant he always has time for a hug, a chat and addresses any concerns I may have no matter what the subject might be. I consider him a very special friend as well as my favorite doctor!

The compassion he shows his patients, that contagious smile, and the care he has provided me with over the years is second to none. Dr. Foad always strives to be the best he can be, and has now seen four generations in my family. I just can’t say enough about Dr. Foad. I highly recommend him to friends, family and sometimes even a stranger. It is such a comfort to know that I have quality medical care with Dr. Foad.
