Luis A Folan, MD

Dr. Folan is awesome! We have been with him for over 4 years now, and is one of the best PCP Ive had.
— very patient
— explains everything very well
— is very selective on prescribing medications
— is flexible on followups.
In all selfishness, I hesitated giving him a 5 star since it will only increase competition in getting an appointment with him :)

Currently my primary care physician. Dr. Folan has always provided excellent care and as others have stated, he takes the time to listen to your concerns. Additionally he’s sure to thoroughly explain what you need to know. I’d recommend him to anyone!

Have been with Dr Folan for the past 6 years and he is a great doc. Always feel satisfied when I visit him, he answers all my questions patiently.

I went to Dr. Folan after reading reviews on Unilocal,other patient-​doctor review websites, and checking with my insurance.
Fortunately, my karma allowed me to go see this AWESOME doctor with only one hitch… 3 weeks to get an apointment! However, he is worth the wait, and those weeks gave me a chance to collect important information for my physical exam.
I was 15 minutes late, but Dr. Folan agreed to see me and I was admitted immediately, before I could even sit in the waiting area. Awesome service!
This was my first physical in my adult life. I was VERY pleased with the attentiveness of Dr. Folan and his nurses. I felt free to tell Dr. Folan everything about my life and habits, be it good, bad, or indifferent. When it was appropriate, he shared bits of his life with me, too. I was completely honored and cared for, and was clear that he wasn’t judging me. I could see the entire time, he was working in his mind what he had to do to protect my health.
I have yet to deal with the payment aspect of this apointment, but that isn’t as important to me as having someone 100% on my side. That is Dr. Folan.

Dr. Folan is a great listener, and makes sure I am leaving with confidence in his discoveries. Other doctors have made me feel like I am just part of their day, and need to leave and move on, without necessarily getting what I need… but not the case with Dr. Folan… he cares and that’s what matters!

My wife’s primary physician was out so we saw Dr. Folan. I was so impressed with his care and attentiveness! He listened well and really thought about what the problem could be. He even followed up with us later when we didn’t expect to see him again! He was very reassuring and made us feel at ease. I’m thinking about making him my primary physician if possible…

I have gone to Dr. Folan for several years now… in a word, he is Fantastic. Attentive, patient, professional, detail oriented… everything you want in a doctor. Best doctor I have every had.

I feel so blessed that I have the privilege to be Dr. Folan’s patient!
As we all agree — Health is the most important thing for all of us. We wouldn’t have been able to achieve and enjoy anything in life without being healthy!
Dr. Folan is, professional, knowledgeable, experienced, detail oriented, patient, great listener, responsive, highly mannered by being brought up in an outstanding environment, and best possibly educated!
Dr. Folan and Cheri /​his Medical Assistant/​are the best asset for PAMF!
I strongly believe that all their patients feel exactly the same way as I do — Honored!!!
So my kudos and hats off to Dr. Folan and Cheri!!! Thank YOU!

I’m a big believer that one of the most important things a person can have is a good doctor. This means finding someone who listens, someone who cares, someone who is well educated, and — perhaps most importantly of all — someone who can fit you into their damn schedule when everything sucks.
Dr. Folan is all of these things. Even better, he’s hot. If you are looking for a doctor, I cannot recommend him highly enough. Hell, I BART the hour or more to Freemont from San Francisco to see him. The piece of mind that comes with having a good doctor is worth it.
