Family Care

“I sought treatment from Dr. William Foley at Boston osteopathic health after experiencing heart and brain fog challenges due to Covid. All of the allopathic cardiology and neurological work up we’re completed with negative findings and this resulted in no diagnosis for my conditions. Dr Foley possessed a personable compassionate demeanor and presented with confidence that with osteopathic treatment, diet/lifestyle modification and specific supplementation, the symptoms I was experiencing could be treated. He has been right! I have not experienced any of my unexplainable cardiac symptoms and my brain fog has significantly improved and continues to do so. Do not hesitate to seek treatment from Boston osteopathic health. It has been one of the best the decisions I have made for my health. I cannot thank Dr Foley enough. My confidence in him as a physician and his practice has lead my entire family to Boston Osteopathic Health.”

We have seen him for treatments for each of my daughters for different injuries from different sports. With his Amazing treatments. and if you follow his treatment plan exercises and stretching each one of my girls have all gotten back on the field without any major damage before it was too late to heal the proper way.”

Albert B., Sutton, MA
Shoulder Pain

“I am a 45 year old male from Worcester, MA who grew up going to MDs and knew nothing about osteopathic medicine and was even skeptical about it. A few years ago, I experienced severe pain in swelling in several fingers and my thumb which lingered for over a year. The swelling was befuddling as it virtually came out of nowhere. I diet, exercise, and I am in excellent health. Naturally, I visited MD hand surgeons who did Xrays/MRIs but found nothing structurally wrong. I had blood work done which also came back negative. I went to a rheumatologist who found no arthritis and basically told me to take 500MGs of Ibuprofen…”as needed”. No one could find the source of the issue. Someone recommended Dr. Foley and I gave it try. After a few visits and change in my diet, which Dr Foley recommended, he found the source of my problem and my fingers have since returned to normal. He treated my body to ‘heal itself”. I could not be happier and I am also a firm believer in osteopathic medicine.”

Joint Pain and Swelling

“Dr. Bill Foley is always available for support inside and outside the office. It’s hard to find such attentive bedside manners today, of which he has been exceptional. These are qualities you want for your family and self, especially regarding issues of concern. My children not only have learned through experiences with him, but more so have carried recommendations forward implementing into their everyday health. I highly recommend Dr. Foley.”

“I have had back and neck pain for my entire adult life and had seen many chiropractors throughout the years. I have to say, I had a lot more success with the treatments with Dr. Bill Foley. The treatments are so much more gentle than chiropractic treatments and he can really hone in on what the exact problem is that is causing me pain on that day. After the first couple of treatments, I remember being surprised that I had gone a full 5 days without pain, which I couldn’t even remember the last time I even went a day or two without pain. In addition to helping with back pain, he also has a wealth of knowledge that most doctors rarely bring up like food sensitivities, probiotics, etc. All 3 of the doctors at BOH that I’ve seen have been absolutely wonderful.”

“After suffering several bouts of debilitating vertigo I thought osteopathy would help, and I was right. It’s been a few years now and no recurrence of any vertigo!”

Sharon M., Framingham, MA
Vertigo

“After being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and a number of other ailments, I’ve worked with many practitioners to regain my health. Dr. Foley’s osteopathic treatments are the glue that brings everything together for me and allows me to live an active and productive life.”

Irina R., Belmont, MA
Pain and Fatigue

“Doctors Bill and Kristin Foley are nothing short of amazing. I’ve always felt like regular MDs just look at symptoms and throw meds at them, rather than delving deeper into trying to investigate and truly understand the causes of these symptoms. Not here. I have never had a doctor so committed to helping and to researching the cause of my father’s symptoms as Dr. Foley. Bill and Kristin are the perfect combination of being open-minded and analytical. Dr Foley even consulted with other top professionals to order labs and get to the bottom of my dad’s medical problems. Dr. Kristin Foley has such a wonderful way about her – so calming – she listens to her patients intently and uses her wealth of knowledge to try to solve the puzzle of how to get her patients better. It was such a relief to know we have Boston Osteopathic Health was in our corner and that they are leaving no stone unturned. I would highly recommend them to anyone!”

“The care at BOH has been outstanding! Dr. Foley is a very gifted doctor who has been able to improve my life considerably! I highly recommend him!”

Bunny G., Danvers, CT
Digestion

“I have lived well as a juvenile diabetic since I was a child, but finally was diagnosed with a second endocrine disorder, the rare condition of Addison’s Disease. After a year and a half of surviving on Prednisone, acupuncture apparently had triggered sufficient recovery that I was able to wean off the steroid medication, but I was still very unwell in spite of low normal blood tests. Because only one in 100,000 people are diagnosed with this, medical professionals were limited in ideas of how to help. One doctor suggested that I receive treatment from Dr. Foley. Osteopathic treatments have offered a steady, although slow, continued recovery without steroids, which is supposed to be impossible. For an Addisonian, traditional medical treatment considers the dropping of steroid treatment to lead to fatality, but I continue to show low normal results when tested. I could not dare live this way without excellent monitoring, which Dr. Foley does in regular treatments. Better yet, I have hope of continuing to strengthen rather than decline.”

Deborah S., Wenham, MA
Addison’s Disease, Type 1 Diabetes

“I have been seeing Dr. Foley for chronic back pain since 2007. He has helped me through a very difficult pregnancy and made the daily pain more manageable. Prior to seeing Dr. Foley my back pain was debilitating on a weekly basis and now I have weeks with little to no pain that I never thought would be possible. He also helped with muscle cramps, sinus infections, acid reflux, and yeast infections though natural supplements and minor manipulation. Dr. Foley is a very professional, but personable physician who takes the time to get to know his patients and appropriately and successfully treat symptoms in the least restrictive manner possible.”

Tanya H., Billerica, MA

“I am 7 years still recovering from a neck injury sustained in a bus accident. Dr. Foley has helped me a ton. He knows his stuff! Half my family comes here now!”

Carol R., Needham, MA
Neck Pain

“I was having severe lower back pain from an old ice skating injury. I could barely work, and a friend suggested I see Dr. Foley. I was able to see him on short notice, and by the next morning I was able to stand up straight. After a second treatment, my back pain was alleviated.”

Emily O., West Newton, MA

“The doctors are skilled, excellent practitioners who are compassionate, gentle and produce superb results so that I can function normally again. Ambi is superbly efficient, organized, and has a great sense of humor which puts patients at ease.”

Roberta R., Newton Centre, MA
Joint Pain; Back and Knee Pain

“Dr. Foley is a talented osteopath with a great passion for what he does. He has treated me personally for some bothersome hip pain towards the end of my pregnancy which helped tremendously. I am still very thankful for that. I would recommend him to anyone looking to improve his or her health. If you have not ever experienced a cranial osteopathic treatment, give Dr. Foley a call and you will be in good hands.”

Arlene D., Cohasset, MA

“Bill’s work is well recognized in the community of integrative health care practitioners that I work with in the Boston area. I have experienced his work personally and can speak highly of its effectiveness. I often refer my patients to him to round out my care.”

Traumatic Injury

“I feel so much better today after my treatment. I finally had a decent nights sleep – hard to believe after just one osteopathic treatment. You are a gifted doctor.”

Diane B., Plymouth, MA
Insomnia

“I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Foley! He has changed my life! I’m so grateful for him. It says a lot when your primary care doctor at the time highly recommends him to one of her own patients. This all started over 4 years ago with the birth of my daughter. I broke my tailbone during labor and my spine hasn’t been the same since (2 herniated discs, bulging disk, and neck issues just to name a few). I had almost given up all hope that I would ever feel even somewhat ‘normal’ again when his name was brought up. It couldn’t have been better timing. I still have a long way to go but I no longer feel like I am a prisoner in my own body and I am starting to do more than I have been able to do in the past 4 years or so. Not only does Dr. Foley have magic hands, he is such a down to earth guy who is continuously sharing his wealth of knowledge. Sometimes I forget I am even talking to a Dr. because he is so down to earth and really funny which is a huge bonus I also love his more holistic approach and his desire to get to the root of the issue and not just put a band aid on it. I will continue my treatments as I look forward to seeing how much better I can feel. Dr. Foley truly is the best! His office staff is also a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend Boston Osteopathic.”

Carrieann C., Uxbridge, MA
Herniated Discs / Spine Issues

“My complete experience at Dr William Foley’s office was excellent! The receptionist greeted me with a warm welcome and I was seen on time. Dr Foley listened carefully, and was compassionate and understanding of my specific needs. He began treatment which I know has already helped and I look forward to continuing to be under his care. So happy To find a doctor who cares!”

Maureen H., Tarzana, CA
Autoimmune Disease

“I had several health issues a few years back and followed the typical PCP/Specialist pathway set forth by my insurance company. After several visits w them, they never solved my issue but only told me to take Ibuprofen and other meds as needed. This didn’t solve the problem and only masked my symptoms. A friend recommended Dr. Foley because he treats the person and not just the symptoms. After a few visits and manipulation treatment, Dr. Foley put me on the path towards healing. I highly recommend him and his osteopathic treatments.”

K.B., Massachusetts
Joint Inflammation

“I just mentioned to Dr. Kristin Foley the other day that the world would function better and be a better place if more people embraced osteopathic doctors. I’m SO happy I did. For the past 13 years, I felt loving care to maintain my health and to heal from acute situations. I am a believer and living proof of the goodness! Heartfelt thanks.”

Merillyn C., Fitchburg, MA
Life-long Healing

“I have seen Dr. Bill Foley for my own lower back issues and have taken my father, niece, husband and daughter to both him and his wife, Dr.Kristin Foley. They are amazing doctors who really take the extra time to figure out what the root causes are of the symptoms. I have never felt “rushed” through any appointments and found both doctors to be extremely accessible when I’ve had questions. My niece had some awful symptoms with horrible joint pain and fatigue and the Osteopathic treatments, supplements, and special diet worked together to alleviate her symptoms all together. My husband and daughter were having horrible headaches and they ran tests to see which foods they were sensitive to. They went on 60 day “elimination” diets, in addition to the OMTs with the doctors, and the improvement was unbelievable. My daughter hardly ever complains of headaches and it’s been over 2 years now and my husband’s headaches have decreased significantly. I cannot say enough about the Foleys!!”

Joanna K., Worcester, MA
Low Back Pain, Headaches, Family Care

“I cannot begin to express my satisfaction with Boston Osteopathic Health. My family of 5 has been under the care of Dr. Foley for many years and I continue to be very pleased with the medical care we receive. We are always treated with respect, professionalism and the best care. The Belsito Family is truly grateful for the care that we have been provided. I never have any issues scheduling with waiting and/or last minute scheduling. Dr. Foley does his best to get his patients in when needed. The office staff are friendly, prompt and helpful.”

Melissa B.
Family Care

“Well, as a firm believer of combining a Western and natural approaches to healing, the office, associates and affiliates have not disappointed. The person answering the phone is not just professional, but very friendly as well. She does all she can to accommodate your appointment requests and even calls when there is a cancellation. Dr. Foley listens to your concerns and then begins to work his magic. For two days, there was no pain whatsoever in my body. It was an amazing feeling to just stroll without a care. My walk for those two days was without a limp, hunched over and/or grimace free. My treatment plan calls for just five visits. If he cannot help my injured back in the number of suggested visits, he was very clear with me, another more aggressive approach would be necessary. ”

“I could not live without Dr. Kristin Foley! She saved my life and got me back on the tennis court. I love you and please keep on helping me!”

Sciatic Nerve Pain and Other Symptoms

“After an osteopathic treatment I have less spasms in my neck, right arm, and hand. By seeing Dr. Foley I can go a week or more without any spasms or pain at all. Otherwise, I am in constant severe pain.”

Barbara S., Hope Valley, RI
Neck Arthritis

“Dr. Foley works in conjunction with my acupuncturist. They met while treating my mother for osteoarthritis and scoliosis and kept her walking and relatively pain free until near the end of her life. My mother was not an easy patient, but she loved Dr. Foley and respected him. Dr. Foley is open to other ways of seeing, will tell you in layperson’s terms what is wrong, and will tell you if he can help. He sometimes can predict (as with my carpal tunnel) how many sessions it will take if he can help your condition. Dr. Foley not only treats your symptoms, he helps prevent illness and pain. It is easy to know if you have pain but when you are pain free you are not always aware of how preventative treatment helped you remain pain free. Dr. Foley is a wonderful healer and my whole family is lucky we found him.”

Judy C., Cambridge, MA

Dr. Caroline D., New York / Boston
Traumatic Brain Injury and Broken Wrist

“I had years of lower back pain, sometimes to the point of being unable to stand up or walk. Osteopathy changed my life. With occasional ‘tune-up’ treatments, I can now be very active physically, including heavy workouts and classes at my gym.”

Linda C., Lexington, MA
Sacroiliitis and Piriformis Syndrome

“Dr. Foley takes time to listen carefully to my symptoms and feelings before the treatment starts and gears that treatment to what your body needs. Dr. Foley is one of the rare doctors who really listens.”

Margaret G., Westford, MA
Fibromyalgia Pains

“I first came to Dr. Foley because I was experiencing pain from an appendectomy that had occurred a year prior. Dr. Foley identified and relaxed the scar tissue, and the pain that had been bothering me for months was relieved in a few sessions. Since then he has helped put my body into balance, treating me as an integral whole but relieving specific symptoms such as acute TMJ, tendonitis, and neck pain. I literally carry his business cards in my purse to hand to friends who complain of persistent pain and imbalance. He is one health care provider I totally trust, because he has consistently helped me so much.”

Shoshana F., Jamaica Plain, MA
Adhesions, TMJ, Tendonitis and Neck Pain

“I found Boston Osteopathic after years of limited success with chiropractic, physical therapy, and massage therapy. Now I am almost completely pain free and as a bonus, the rash that has plagued me for years is gone. Dr. Foley’s medical understanding is so much broader than any physician I have seen and has offered me the best perspective to make my health care choices. He is very comfortable to talk to about any topic and his sense of humor keeps you smiling. Boston Osteopathic is a wonderful place to rediscover your health.”

Ansley P., Cohasset, MA
Shoulder, Wrist, and Hand Pain and Skin Rash

“My treatment here eliminated the TMJ – as there seemed no other way to treat it. The Rheumatic was treated with medicine by my Rheumatic physician, also a DO. The treatment here allowed me to move more easily, and it is now in remission.”

Barbara S., Hope Valley, RI
TMJ and Polymalga Rheumatic

“Dr. Foley is abundantly talented. I call him Dr. Magic at home. He has helped me get a good nights sleep regularly, after years of problems falling and/or staying asleep. He’s taken away my backaches which were regular and often acutely painful. He’s also helped friends with TMJ and menstrual issues.”

Joyce K., Newton, MA
Sleep, Anxiety, High Blood Pressure, Allergies, Backaches and Scoliosis-Crookedness

“The care at BOH has been absolutely amazing. After seeing multiple specialists with no improvement, I had just about given up hope that I would ever feel better. Not only have my symptoms significantly improved but I have been treated as a whole person rather than just a body part. Finding a health care professional in this day and age who truly listens and cares about helping his patients is a tall order. Dr. Foley has changed the quality of my life for the better. Not to be overlooked is the office staff. Every phone call or office visit is always pleasant and helpful. Many doctors’ offices I have visited had staff that ranged from unpleasant to downright rude. I know whenever I talk to Ambi, I will have a friendly and good-humored interaction. I would not hesitate to recommend BOH to anyone.”

Alexandra H., Newtonville, MA
Joint Pain

“Before I came to see Dr. Foley I had been suffering from chronic back and neck pain, fatigue, insomnia, muscle tightness, and TMJ symptoms. I had seen many other doctors, physical therapists, cranio-sacral therapists, pain specialists, and chiropractors. All of these treatments would seem to work for a short time but the pain and fatigue would always come back. I was also treated with multiple medications including muscle relaxers and narcotics. It felt normal to have headaches everyday and not to be able to go out and do things in my 20s and early 30s. Dr. Foley’s approach of medical and holistic has had a very positive effect on my life and behavior. I have now incorporated habits such as mediation, stretches, supplements, and decaffeinated drinks into my daily life. After the first few treatments my pain was greatly reduced and my energy had increased. That alone was a huge improvement for me. As my quality of life improved, I was more confident to do things I forgot I enjoyed without the worry of over exerting myself or exhausting myself. I was able to continue to reduce the medication I was on, including my asthma medication and over the counter pain killers. Finally my headaches have been reduced from a couple of them a week to not even one every month. These changes have made me feel clearer in both my work and home life. This treatment is still a process that I must work at to maintain but already things have improved so much that I am very willing to continue to the effort.”

Lisa M., Arlington, MA
