    Dr. Foley is wonderful!! She put me at ease and took the time to answer questions, explain things in a way I could understand, and even drew me diagrams and pictures to help me visualize what she meant. She's funny and down to earth and that really helps take the edge off an otherwise awkward and nervous situation. I will keep seeing her and will gladly recommend her to others!! A+
