Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

If I could give a zero I would.
Cheryl acts like she cares but in fact is very dismissive. I was early on in my pregnancy and told her I was having very bad pain. She told me it was just growing pains and dismissed my concerns which ultimately ended me up in the ER the next evening from passing blood in my urine due to an infection. The traumatic experience could have been avoided if I would have been taken serious and ran a simple test. A couple other times she was out of town on vacation when I had concerns and her nurse practitioner told me they had no time to see me so go to my local Urgent Care. When I did the urgent care Dr told me this was my OBGYNs job. This practice made my pregnancy very scary and felt like I wasn’t being heard. After finally switching drs at the end of my second trimester it is night and day difference!

Know-it-all who knows nothing
She’s very nice as long as there aren’t any problems or complications. Then she gaslights you into thinking you’re crazy and abnormal because she actually has very limited knowledge and abilities. She is not kind to overweight individuals. She told me my pain was not severe and downplayed my other symptoms because she didn’t have any answers (or referrals).

Ok
Very compassionate however she is not vbac friendly. I stayed with her because she said she was but she kept changing stories. I follow ACOG and cross referencing what she would say with ACOG most of the time was wrong. Her nurse Jessica is very rude and made comments to me that were not nice or professional. Telling me it impossible for me to be pregnant or impossible for the baby to make it and more. I would never recommend Jessica. But overall Fogerty was not bad and if you are doing a vaginal she would be good. But stay away if you want a vbac!!!!

I actually didn't realize I had a bad birth experience with my first child until I switched to Dr. Fogarty and delivered a second time. Kristen and Dr. Fogarty went above and beyond to take exceptional care of us. They listened to me and were patient with me and met my fears and concerns with compassion and wisdom. The birthing process was not rushed or forced but felt like we were all a team. I genuinely did not know what a good birth experience was until I switched to them.

Waited a month for appt. Come the day of, they have me fill out all the papefa and they make copies of my insurance then make me wait an hour in the waiting area while they talk about my insurance provider, to let me know they cannot see me. Something they should have told me over the phone when I let them know which insurance I had!!!! Super unprofessional and a waste of my day!! Worst experience ever! Just don't bother with this place!

Dr. Fogarty has been my OB through four pregnancies. Unfortunately, I'm a high-risk patient and my pregnancies haven't been easy and haven't all resulted in a healthy baby. She has been an angel in the darkness. She truly cares about all of her patients, including me. She doesn't always know what is coming, but she does her best to deal with each pregnancy and each obstacle in a loving, yet professional way. I have, and will continue to, recommend her to anyone looking for an OBGYN.

She is very "in and out". Never asked if I had any questions, and when I did I felt like I had to flag her down in the hallway to ask. Communication was lacking with staff as well. I had a problem with billing and they were not helpful at all.
