Dr. Foley is the most caring and kind doctor I have ever met. I have been his patient for 11 years now, and I appreciate his absolute professionalism, curiosity to help patient find best solution, and simple human kindness. And sometimes, there are not so good good news doctors need to deliver, and in that case, having a doctor that has a big heart and empathy is very important.

He doesnâ€™t have any compassion. Being that heâ€™s working with pregnant women you would think heâ€™d be more aware of the things that he says but thatâ€™s not the case. He called my son â€œa thingâ€ and made references that I donâ€™t have certain illnesses â€˜yetâ€™.

Dr. Foley is very professional. However, I found his bedside manner and sympathy lacking. I told him I was in a lot of pain after the cervical exam and he asked me a few questions about it, but didnâ€™t seem to care and didnâ€™t say anything besides â€œkeep an eye on itâ€ for a treatment plan.

Dr Foley made me wait for over an hour to be seen. Eventually I had to leave in order to make it home in time for the nanny to leave. He ended up calling me and turning it into a telehealth appointment. This is the 4th time he has made me wait more than 45minutes. I have never had this issue with any other doctors in the office. Itâ€™s incredibly rude and inconsiderate of my time. He is also rude, short and doesnâ€™t have good bedside manner. I do not wish to ever have Dr Foley as my doctor again
