Dr. Brian Foley at Northwestern attempted to strip my membranes without permission. He was unsuccessful. He NEVER asked--he just attempted to do so as part of my the medical exam. I was LIVID. I feel such doctors are opening themselves up to a malpractice lawsuit. Can you say "informed consent," Dr. Foley?

Dr. Foley made me feel extremely uncomfortable during my Pap smear exam. As another patient has commented about a similar experience, Dr. Foley also made purely cosmetic remarks about my body. It has taken me several years (and a now-wonderful OBGYN) to move past this experience. I also suspect that Dr. Foley performed a painful procedure that was not necessary. I was told I needed the procedure ASAP, so I acted on that advice. Years later, I continue to have zero medical indication required for such a procedure. There are s... read more

Similar to other folks' experience, I had awful experiences with Brian (not even going to call him Dr)... He was one of the doctors I saw throughout my pregnancy and had odd bedside etiquette. He'd make comments that were purely cosmetic and not medical (for example - he kept offering to remove a mole for me, despite my never having brought it up.). I was induced PRAYING he was not going to be my doctor. Unfortunately, he was there. He disagreed with my midwife on breaking my water. As a result of having my water broken too ... read more

I gave birth to 4 children, only the last one was delivered by Dr. Foley. All of the births & labors I had were quite eventful in their own way but I'm extremely traumatized by the birth experience I had w/Dr. Foley-typical textbook delivery despite my wishes, no compassion during or after the delivery. I felt I like I was treated like a delivering animal and not a woman giving birth. No proper explanation and possible implications of the procedure used during the labor was explained to me - as a result it turned into agony ... read more

Dr. Foley has been my OBG for the last 20 yrs. He has been the best, he moved far from me and I tried other OBGs but always came back to him because he is the best. He deliver my two teenager kids and up to this day, i still remember him being accommodating and just the best doctor to have taking care of me.

Dr. Foley has been my OBGYN for 20 years and I couldn't say enough positive things about him. His bedside manner, his expertise, and his professionalism are all world-class, and when we started a family, under highly challenging circumstances, it became especially clear just what a gem he is. He truly cares about his patients and made the entire fertility, pregnancy and postpartum journey as positive as one ever could hope for. My husband and I are eternally grateful!

I've been seeing Dr Foley for nearly 15 years. He was my doctor for two pregnancies. I have nothing but good things to say. He takes time to know you as a person, gives sound council and is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Dr Foley is someone you want on your healthcare team.
