I was about 6 years old when I knew I wanted to be a dentist. As far back as Dr. Foley can remember he has always wanted to be a dentist. He fulfilled this dream when he graduated from Emory University Dental School in 1988. He has 15 years in post-doctoral training in Cosmetic Dentistry and is a graduate of Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies in 1999.

Dr. Foley takes personal pride in every smile he re-creates and feels that with his excellent technique and artistry he can create the perfect smile for you. He does this by providing his guests with state-of-the-art equipment, technique, and a caring staff that has over a combined 30 years of dental experience. Dr. Foley also takes personal interest in each and every dental patient.

I went to this dentist for years. It was always a bit of a red flag that he never had the same hygienist or front desk person. No other medical office I go to changes staff so often. The thing that drove me away was problems with tooth repair that dragged out for months with him loosing impressions, temporary crowns falling out and not being repaired correctly and not being taken as a priority when those crowns were put in incorrectly. The crowns were put in after 3 months yesterday. He didn't take the time to make sure my bite was correct. Running out of the office to take a call. When I called the next day to get it fixed they couldn't finish the work for another week. It would be so easy to fit me in so I'm not biting on only one tooth but they dismissed it as just another appointment and couldn't fit me in at all even thought it's finishing something he did wrong.

The product that was referred to as enamel that the hygienist required me to keep on for 4 hours damaged my enamel. I would not recommend going to this office if you value the appearance of your teeth.

I'm 59 years old. My middle four top teeth have been disintegrating over the years for a variety of reasons largely due to my own abuse of sugar, cracking nuts with my teeth instead of using my fingers or a metal nutcracker, and (what I can't control during my sleep), teeth grinding. It was only a matter of time before they cracked and crumbled completely. I put it off for 10 years because I have sensitive teeth and had wanted to delay the discomfort I typically have after a procedure before my teeth finally adjust. Finally I did it this year (because two of the front teeth were literally crumbling into my food when I ate (yuck!). I'm very happy with the result. Clinically sound and cosmetically appealing. Also, after a complex procedure Dr. Foley calls ALL his patients to ask how they are doing several hours afterwards.

Dr. Foley has been my Dentist for well over 15 years. He and his staff are excellent in what they do and seeing to my every need. I highly recommend them should you be in need of dental services.

Dr. Foley is very skilled, and also very personable - a big plus for a dentist! He did a great job replacing my old, deteriorating amalgam (mercury) fillings with much nicer - and safer - composite fillings. He worked on them until he was satisfied that everything was just right. His staff is very friendly and efficient, and take great care to make sure the office is kept virus-free.

I recently moved to Florida and was due for an exam and cleaning. I'm always a little nervous when it comes to the dentist due to past experiences when moving around. However, Dr. Foley and his staff were absolutely amazing. They made me feel very comfortable and relaxed. They do accept insurance, but they do have some good promos as well if not. Overall, wonderful experience with my check up. My teeth felt great and clean. Customer service is important in my line of work. The staff and JB Foley are 150% in my book. Can't thank them enough!

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Foley and his office staff. I recently moved to Florida and have been searching to establish a relationship with a dentist. After needing an emergent intervention for a cracked tooth, Dr Foley came highly recommended by one of my colleagues. I called the office and they were able to get me in the following day. If you are looking for an honest, fairly priced, gentle dentist, with kind, calming and accommodating staff- Dr Foley is your guy.

I was in search of a new dentist, after the bonding in my two front teeth kept chipping away. Knowing veneers would be the next step, I not only wanted a dentist but a specialist in the field of cosmetic dentistry. I went to Dr Foley's office for a second opinion, after having a very expensive consultation else where. Not only was Dr Foley affordable, but his extreme attention to detail has transformed my smile and self confidence. The entire staff made me feel welcome, taken care of and at ease. I love my new hygienist and my new Dentist.

I originally chose Dr. Foley for my dental needs because of convenience. His office is between my home and work place. I was glad to discover that he accepts my insurance and has an outstanding practice. I've stayed loyal to Dr. Foley's practice for 20 years because of the professional care. The excellent dental hygienist, staff and Dr. Foley are all very friendly and beyond efficient. My teeth are cleaned quickly and thoroughly. I receive expert care and advice on how to be a "good patient". They take the time to answer any questions as well as work to get me my desired appointment times. I truly enjoy my visits to Dr. Foley's office. I'm so grateful he is part of our community. I highly recommend Dr. Foley for all dental needs.
