This was my first appointment with Dr. Folger. She had a huge amount of prior history to consider as she helped me prioritize a long list of overdue medical needs. She fully considered my thoughts and wishes, and we ended up with a list that satisfied both of us, which we are now starting to work through. I'm very happy with her thorough approach.

Everything went very well.... Dr. Folger and I hit it off right away, In the liberal amount of time given to this appointment, we covered 100% of all my medical concerns. I believe that Dr. Folger will work out great to be me and my wife's primary provider, since our current PCP left her practice for a different line of medicine. I would summarize: Dr. Folger is very thorough; and most easy to talk with about all manner of health related items.

A resident took all of my initial H&P which took time before I met with Dr Folger. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed that contact and the quality of the questions asked by the resident. Dr Folger answered by questions and we formulated a plan to try to resolve some of my aging issues. The My Health portal has been easy to navigate

I left the office knowing exactly what I should do should I have a problem - who to contact - what to expect and who to talk to. My feeling after just one visit with Dr. Folger - is that I had I been under her care a few years back I would be considerably healthier than I am now!
