In patients' words
"Dr Ryan foley is a great doctor, he take time to listen to your issues and he give you a honest feed back! Had total knee replacement for both knees! I am very happy with the outcome!"
— Healthgrades (Dr. Ryan Foley)"He was informative in the exam room, but that was before I had a diagnosis. He sent me for a hip injection, which lasted only a few days before the pain was back. He never contacted me with my diagnosis or what to do next."
— Healthgrades (Dr. Jacob Ziegler)"Kyle Swanson is the most unprofessional, condescending, arrogant, and incompetent doctor I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He doesn’t know how to listen and will grab you without consent."
