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.

All You Could Expect
Visited Park West Emergency Room late on 3/1/23 after back surgery by Dr. Luke Madigan on 2/27/23. Visit was due to hip bruise received while in surgery (not caused by back surgeon). Also was concerned about potential blood clots. Dr. Folley was patient, listened to the events of the past few days, asked other questions, and provided appropriate medication for the intense pain related to the severe bruise. The severity of the bruise was not known at time of surgery discharge so a stronger pain reliever was required. Dr. Folley 100% solved my problem, is great, and I would trust him for my medical needs. I’ll give him the Highest rating possible!!!!

Dr. Folley’s inability to assist my father when he sought help and his dismissive treatment plan caused the untimely and unfortunate death that could have been prevented had he taken the time to run appropriate testing and listen to the concerns we had. We will never forget this mistake, and how his oversight had shattered our world.
