About

John Foley, M.D. grew up in Sioux Falls where he was grateful to have watched both his grandfather and father deliver compassionate care in South Dakota. “My grandfather established a medical practice above the post office in a rural town, where he often served the entire county as the sole physician,” says Dr. Foley. “He filled the roles of family doctor, surgeon, orthopedist, and obstetrician, and inspired my father to become a physician. I have always been drawn to medicine--not because it is in my blood, but because my blood has taught me the importance of improving lives by establishing physician-patient relationships that involve a commitment to service.”

A family medicine physician, Dr. Foley believes in meeting patients where they are currently in their lives and using share decision-making to help them achieve their health goals. “I am most satisfied as a physician when I can support patients in getting where they want to be. This may include a successful treatment plan, but often it can simply be providing clarity and comfort. Watching children and families grow over time is also fulfilling,” he notes.

In his college days, Dr. Foley was a walk-on player for the University of South Dakota Coyotes basketball team of the NCAA Division-Summit League. His lifelong love of dogs stems from his childhood, which he shared with four Great Danes and a Newfoundland. His hobbies include exercise, pursuing a perfectly prepared steak and being with his family.
