Orthopedic Surgeon

Team Physician, Waxahachie Independent School District

Practices in the Waxahachie location

I have been in practice as an orthopaedic surgeon since August 2005. I decided to return to my hometown of Waxahachie following training in order to give back to a community that I dearly enjoy and love. I am raising my family of 5 in this community and have enjoyed my leadership roles in Ellis County. I take pride in serving the student athletes of Waxahachie Independent School District as team physician. I have many long term goals professionally to achieve in Ellis County centered upon delivering excellent care to patients with orthopaedic ailments and preventing the need to travel to larger cities to achieve desired results. At our local facilities in Waxahachie, we are able to treat many orthopaedic injuries and chronic orthopaedic illnesses with statistics showing top performance in the Baylor Health Care System with the added personalization and ease of follow up.

My philosophy on taking care of patients with orthopaedic conditions stems from personal experience as well as from my professional education during training at a highly regarded facility in Scott and White Memorial Hospital. Each patient deserves my undivided personal attention and deserves to be seen by the physician on each scheduled visit. I believe in personalized, comprehensive care centered on up to date technology and evidence based practices. I have surrounded myself with employees that will care for you and continue with my philosophy of care. We only use proven orthopaedic implants and vendors for those implants in order to provide you with predicted outcomes based on my expertise in using those products. Our outcomes are unmatched with low complications rates. We have confidence in putting our results against those in larger cities, and we have the added benefit of more personalized care delivery.

We pride ourselves in customer service and treating each patient with utmost respect. We strive to return our patients to their previous level of activity whether it be weekend warrior, collegiate athlete, or at home gardener. We will continue to improve and strive to reach lofty goals in our performance. We look forward to seeing you in our beautiful facility soon.

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Treats Ankle, Elbow, Hand, Hip, Joint Replacement, Knee, Shoulder, Sports Medicine, Wrist

Practices in the Midlothian and Waxahachie locations

Born in Dallas and raised in Sunnyvale, Texas, I was built with small town values and big city experience. I received a biomedical science degree at Texas A&M University and earned my DO degree from Arizona College of Osteopathic Medicine. I completed a 5 year residency at a level 1 trauma center in Toledo, Ohio where I received a well rounded training in all areas of orthopedic surgery. I used my elective months to pursue training under some of the country’s best in their fields, including joint reconstruction with Dr. Kirby Hitt and orthopaedic trauma with Dr. Alan Jones.

I have a broad scope of practice including joint reconstruction, fracture care, arthroscopic treatment of sports injuries, hand and foot surgery, and I have been trained in minimally invasive anterior hip replacement as well as robotic assisted knee and hip reconstruction.

When you walk into my office, I see a unique individual and a soul, not just a knee or a shoulder! I believe in treating the patient as a whole and teaming with you and your family to collectively come up with the best treatment plan. I am very excited to serve a small but growing community and look forward to offering “big city” care with small town pride.

In my free time I stay physically active through running and weight lifting, enjoy quality time with my loving wife and three children, and dabble in ice cream making.

Practices Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

Performs EMG/Nerve conduction studies

Practices in the Arlington, Mansfield and Waxahachie locations

As a Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Physiatrist, Dr. Troy Foster has been with AOA Orthopedic Specialists since July of 2015. He obtained his Doctor of Osteopathy degree from the University of N. Texas HSC-Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2011.

A lifelong Texan, Dr. Foster originated from Ovilla, TX and he actively volunteers in Medical Services at Mission Arlington, Mansfield Cares, and The Arthritis Foundation Preparticipation Physicals, Habitat for Humanity, and several other organizations.

In addition to his medical history, Dr. Foster also enjoys outdoor activities such as backpacking, skiing, fishing, hunting, and spending his free time with his 7-year-old triplets.  Dr. Foster describes himself as a “do-it-yourself man” with a passion for traveling as well as maintaining an active lifestyle outside of work.

When asked about his biggest challenge, Dr. Foster replied,“During my second year of high-demanding medical-training, my wife was on complete bed rest with our triplets for 13 weeks.  We lived in a 2-bedroom apartment with 2 Labradors.”  

SPECIALTY

Practicing Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Dr. Foster focuses on identifying and diagnosing causes of pain, planning out treatment, and managing levels of pain while actively working towards eliminating their source non-surgically. 

IDENTIFYING SOURCES OF PAIN

An initial visit will start with a physical and verbal examination to get a history of what symptoms are experienced, how long, medication history’s, and previous treatments. 

Dr. Foster is one of two doctors in the group that perform EMG/Nerve conduction studies.  These studies are used to diagnose nerve disorders involving impingement and damage.  In this study it will be determined if and where a nerve impingement exists, the extent of the impingement, and the extent of the damage that has occurred and where.

TREATMENTS

Treatments provided includes specialized exercise, steroid therapies such as oral, local injection, and x-ray guided injections into the spine under anesthesia, nerve blocks, nerve ablations, and, for chronic pain that fails to respond to anything else, he can preform a trials of implantable devices that override nerve signaling of pain.
