  • “This is my fourth time having various oral surgeries at Foley and Le, two from Dr. Dan Foley and two from Dr. Ben Foley.  I would not go anywhere else. I am petrified of any dental work, and everyone on staff makes you feel calm and confident. Brook, a nurse, really calmed me down today and is excellent at starting IV’s.
