Testimonials


Testi "On April 2, 1998, I underwent Mons chem surgery with nasal tip and supratip defect. I was referred to James Foley M.D.; F.A.C.S. by Dr. Noel A. Hague. On April 4, 1998, an axial advancement flap was done on my nose by Dr. Foley. On a scale of one to ten, I would definitely rate Dr. Foley a triple ten because of the excellent grafting he did plus his wonderful personality, skill and expertise in this field, along with the office staff that are always willing to help you with any questions or problems. I would never hesitate to refer (if asked) anyone to Dr. Foley for plastic surgery or skin grafting as I know he would give then 100%+ on anything he, or the office staff, do."

Testi "My experience with Dr. Foley and his staff was outstanding. I have had two major procedures done by Dr. Foley and found him to be a very knowledgeable and caring doctor. His office staff is also very friendly & professional. During my recovery, Dr. Foley and his staff went out of their way to make sure that I was doing fine. I would highly recommend Dr. Foley. What a nice man!"

Testi "This letter conveys my appreciation and gratitude for Dr. Foley’s excellent care throughout two daunting surgical operations. My first surgery was a breast reconstruction due to loss of my breast because of cancer. Dr. Foley fully explained the procedure and made me feel as comfortable as possible during a very stressful time. In addition to the breast reconstruction, he also uplifted my opposite breast. He absolutely insisted on making as many adjustments as necessary to that my breasts would match each other. I can now say that I think my figure looks better than before my cancer! As a result of my increased confidence, I decided to have a face lift. I am also very pleased with the results of this second operation by Dr. Foley. Now I look as young as I feel!"

Testi "Cosmetic surgery, while it is very exciting, is very frightening as well. You want to look the "best" and have the "best" physician perform the surgery. After contacting many surgeons and reading their backgrounds, I decided to go with Dr. Foley. He has many years of experience and is ranked among the Top 10 Cosmetic Surgeons in the Twin Cities area. I found Dr. Foley to be very thorough an d attentive. He explained the procedure I was about to undergo in-depth and listened to my many questions, answering each of them in detail. Dr. Foley and his staff also provide a very warm, comfortable and friendly atmosphere. If considering cosmetic surgery, I recommend Dr. Foley very highly, and to me, he is the best. Thanks to Dr. Foley, I am a much happier person today."
