“I want my patients to know that treatment and recovery is a team effort,” Dr. Foley says. “With early diagnosis and quick treatment, foot and ankle problems can be handled successfully. I encourage my patients to listen to their bodies.”

Dr. Foley’s associate, Dr. Connie Ornelas attended UCLA as an undergrad, followed by four years at Scholl College of Podiatric Medicine in Chicago. It was during a three-year residency at Lakewood Regional Medical Center that Dr. Connie met, and eventually worked with Dr. Foley. “Dr. Ornelas was one of the brightest residents I’ve worked with, “ said Dr. Foley. The Northern California native has performed over 1,000 podiatric surgeries and works two days a week in the Long Beach office. “Dr. Ornelas brings a high level of dedication, energy and expertise to our patients,” Dr. Foley said.
