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.

Knowledgeable and Caring
Dr. Fogarty is always very thorough. She takes as much time as needed to hear concerns and explain diagnoses and treatments. She is prompt to respond to messages and follow-up on labwork. Friendly and caring.

A very thorough and compassionate Physician
I have been a patient of Dr. Fogarty’s for the last three years and I am always pleased with the thoroughness of the visits, especially my preventative exam. Dr. Fogarty goes over what is going on with me, any issues I might have, any refills I might need on my medication’s and any referrals that I might need as well. She never rushes you at the visit and and listens to what you say with a caring ear. I would definitely recommend her for anyone looking for a new Physician.

Grateful for Dr, Fogarty!
New to CA, nervous about changing doctors due to existing cancer and cardiac conditions. Dr. Fogarty was welcoming and compassionate. Clearly capable to manage my overall health with all moving parts and pieces. I was immediately comfortable. She spent nearly an hour getting to know me and developed a forward plan based on my specific needs. Connected me with all the local specialists I need, on the spot. Very responsive to calls and portal messages; typically, same day.

Competent and compassionate
Dr. Fogarty always seems to take her time and really listen to what I’m saying. I never feel like she trying to rush off to the next patient. I’m 100% confident in her expertise. If your looking for a primary, look no further.

Effective
I found Dr. Fogarty to be very comprehensive and affective in her treatments. She’s also not the discouraging type or one to minimize my issues when I tell them to her which I really appreciate. Instead, she finds solutions to help me to resolve them and she is also very responsive to my questions and concerns.

Excellent Physician. Excellent Care.
Dr. Tammy Fogarty goes over and beyond in her exams and it is evident that she truly cares about her patients. She listens well and asks great questions, carefully explains lab work, diagnosis, and provides options. I never feel rushed and I appreciate that she offers recommendations for additional tests and treatments beyond what I went to see her for. I've grown to fully trust Dr. Fogarty's extensive experience and judgement. My husband and I, and our adult daughters, have been receiving excellent care from Dr. Fogarty for many years and I'm finally taking the time to highly recommend her! When I see other physicians in her practice, I've also received great care and then always receive awesome follow-up from Dr. Fogarty and her staff.

ThIs doctor is absoluty the worst doctor on this planet! I have been a patient of the Edinger Medical group for many years . All the doctors in this medical group are amazing with the exception of Tamara Fogarty! She has the most terrible bedside manners. She's unprofessional and very haughty. She laughed at me when I told her about the pain I was experiencing in my pelvic area. She made me feel so embarrassed that after 10 years, I have not forgotten my visit with her. Edinger Medical is a great medical group and I am still with them, but I do NOT recommend Tamara Forgarty. See one of the other doctors there.

She was my GP for years. Best MD I have ever had. Personable, compassionate, knowledgeable and warm. Always TOOK the time to explain things and was never in a hurry. Wish I could have someone out here in Texas remotely close to her demeanor.
