Dr. Mark Eugene Fogarty, MD

I did learn that Dr. Fogarty responds quicker when you contact him through the portal. Not sure if that's his fault in not returning PHONE CALLS or if he isn't getting the message. He has no bedside manner; asks you a question and then types, interrupts with another questions and then types; he hardly ever looks at you until his one minute check of your vitals. He has put "conditions" in my chart by my merely mentioning something, such as "do you snore?" "my husband says I do - when I'm on my back only" and I have a diagnosis of apnea. I'm afraid if I say something like "mushrooms are a fungus and I eat them," he'd diagnose me with a fungal infection. When I was sick as a dog and sending him messages through the portal, he did call me but said it was "viral" and just deal with it. When I got worse, he said I needed to be seen but he was completely booked. "Let me see if my assistant can get you in with someone else." Waited and waited for a call from her, but it never came. I… finally texted someone I know who works in his office (at 12:00) to see if SHE could get me in to SOMEONE; she called me at 1:00 and said "can you be here at 2:30?" SHE is exceptional; the rest of the staff is not so hot. If she isn't working checkout, you have to wait and wait until someone looks up from their computer to see you. That appointment at 2:30 was great! It was not with Fogarty; the doc who saw me gave me a lot of meds, a chest xray, and pneumonia was found. Fogarty's medical assistant is not so hot at all. I feel more like a side of beef being examined rather than a human being. She should find another line of work.

I've been going to Dr. Fogarty for 3 years now. As a doctor, he seems to be able to diagnose issues fairly quickly. However, I do have to say his bedside manor could definitely use some improvement. It definitely depends on the day for sure. Some days he comes in very down to earth, in-tune to me as the patient and willing to listen. Other days he comes in looking down at you and doesn't listen to what you have to say because he cuts you off before you're finished. His staff...where to begin... Definitely can be very rude to the patients and unprofessional. There have been several times that I have called and told that Dr. Fogarty would need to talk to me. I would wait a couple days for a call back before calling again only to find out that there wasn't a note left for Dr. Fogarty to call me. Now I try to use their patient portal so I can track when I contact him. The staff definitely needs much improvement in terms of customer/patient service.

Been going to him for more than 15 years. He always listens and finds a way to take care of the problems while allowing me to have input and a sense of control in my healthcare.

Pretty full of himself, dosent seem caring or willing to listen to what i have to say.
