Dr. Patrick Foye, M.D.

"After 3 long and very painful years of coccydynia, countless doctors, uncomfortable PT, cushions/donuts, extensive imaging, and multiple injections and other various procedures with no relief, I reached a point of complete exhaustion and defeat. That's when I decided to fly across the country to see Dr. Foye. I set up this appointment with the objective solely to understand *why* I'm in pain.. *what* is causing it. I didn't have any expectations that there could be relief, but what I got was so much more. He and his entire staff are so kind, have excellent bedside banner, and they took the time to go through a thorough physical exam, history, and to explain in depth (in many different ways) so that you truly understand what is going on with your body. I really appreciate all the analogies. We went through causes, treatment plans, reviewed imaging taken that day and in the past, and he answered all my questions. After looking at scans from 3 years ago, it was clear as day. Something came over me in that appointment and some tears started flowing (thanks for being great about it) just knowing it's not in my head. If you are like me, or any of the other patients that took the time to put together a review, do yourself a favor and book an appointment, fly/drive to see Dr. Foye. He truly is the specialist you need. We ended with an injection that wasn't just "sacrococcygeal", but truly targeted to my issues. I'm hopeful. Thank you Dr. Foye and team."

"I have suffered from tailbone pain for several decades. Over the years, I saw many back and spine specialists but never received a clear diagnosis or a treatment that helped. The last specialist I visited suggested the pain was psychosomatic because an MRI showed no problem. At that point, I began researching on my own and found Dr. Foye's book. After listening to the audiobook, I made an appointment and flew halfway across the country to see him, a decision I am very glad I made. X-rays were ordered and completed prior to my appointment. After a brief introduction, Dr. Foye quickly identified the cause of my pain by pointing out a bone spur visible on a specific X-ray image. We discussed treatment options, and he recommended a cortisone injection. I expected this to be scheduled for later that day or even another visit, but instead we immediately moved to a fluoroscopy-equipped room, and the injection was performed on the spot. The injection has already provided meaningful relief. When I saw my general practitioner afterward, he was surprised to learn that the bone spur was clearly visible on X-rays but had been missed on MRI. This speaks to Dr. Foye's exceptional expertise and his ability to design specialized X-ray views that can be even more informative than MRI. Traveling so far to see Dr. Foye was absolutely worth it, and I recommend him without hesitation."

"Dr. Foye is great. He is extremely thorough, kind, and helpful. He ordered specific x-rays before my visit, did a thorough physical exam, and explained all findings at length as well as treatment options. I never felt rushed. In addition, the majority of options that he recommended, especially the inital ones, don't involve him at all (so definitely *not* money hungry, just genuinely looking out for the best interest of his patient). He also gave me a copy of his book and printed out all suggestions so that I knew where to go from there. His office staff was also great; Frascia took her time to understand my issues, document them properly, and thereafter, relay them to Dr. Foye in front of me so I could interject if need be. Overall, I was so happy with Dr. Foye, Frascia, and staff. Thank you all so much!"
