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.

Always helpful and never rushes!
Dr Folden is very thorough and calming when I have anxiety.

Deeply concerned about my overall health.
Dr Folden was deeply concerned about my chronic health problems and worked with me to alleviate my anxiety. He did not dismiss my problems by addressing my age. Dr. Folden recommended several treatments including medication that should produce favorable results.

Caring and Personal
Dr Folden has been caring for me for a few years now. He always gets down to business and takes my health seriously, but he also has a lighter side which I appreciate! Its tough enough sometimes when you are not feeling well.. He told me near the beginning of our patient-doctor relationship that he was going to look out for me and be my armchair quarterback. This made me know that he really cares about me and is always ready to help. I'm glad that I found him!!

Very impressed!
I had another excellent experience with Dr. Folden. He takes the time to answer any and all questions, as well as explains everything thoroughly. It is extremely obvious that he not only takes a personal interest in his patients, cares for their well being, but also stays in touch regarding any follow up.

Dr Folden is very thorough with the details, stays on top of the patient's medical conditions/med history .. BUT this was my first encounter with a doctor who lacked any common sense while dealing with patients. Very bookish maybe, but as a family practitioner there are certain things that you need to think of before you ask questions during a physical exam. Clearly shows lack of experience. I had an annual physical done with this doctor and his questions made me uncomfortable. There was no reason to prescribe certain tests in the first place (looks like he threw in some random tests just for the sake of it) This would be a case of no bedside manners. I wouldn't be going back from my personal experience.

Truly outstanding physician. Took his time to go over my symptoms, explained the medication he was prescribing. The medical staff made me feel comfortable and the office was very clean. Hasan is a gem and is very personable. He truly has a gift of making you feel better when you leave than when you first came in.

Dr. Folden is very likable and competant. He's a good listener; checking patient concerns where needed. I have a good feeling about his skills and sensitivity. He is careful with types and strength of perscriptions. i have only seen him twice, but I trust his judgement.
