Folbe Mitchell MD

"Dr Folbe strikes me as a oncologist that should have retired long ago. I was treated by him and went thru 2 disastrous rounds of chemo before I promptly switched to a new oncology team. Anything out of the ordinary chemo symptoms nausea and diarrhea, well he “never heard of that”. I was hospitalized for a week during both rounds of chemo. I lost my voice, he never heard of that. We’ll come to find out it’s called mucositis, I had it so bad it traveled down my throat to my vocal cords. A throat steroid the hospital oncologist gave me cured it along w tasteless wafers. Then I was peeing blood, and my bp dropped to 77/44 . Folbe never heard of that either. His solution was to cut chemo by 50%. Not good, as that won’t be good for my cancer diagnosis. He came in the hospital with the same wrinkled paper out his pocket asking me the same tired questions of my symptoms. He’s nice , but he doesn’t know what to do. His PA runs his practice 100% not him. If you have cancer and want to live, don’t go to this doctor. He just doesn’t have the answers, the knowledge or the experience to successfully treat a cancer patient. On my 1st day of chemo, I sat next to a patient who came in, the PA informed her in front of me, my husband and another patient getting chemo that her cancer spread to her bones. She delivered this news like she was telling her what she was having for lunch. No empathy, it was awful. The patient was rightfully devastated, I started crying as I was scared enough, the patient started praying and the PA then says “did u want to go in a private room?” The patient replied “no it doesn’t matter now does it “. We all felt so bad for her. I knew that day I had a problem with this practice. Take my advice go elsewhere. Save ur life w a doctor that is in the know, not in the dark. Your life depends on it."

"Dr. Folbe treated my mother in her lung cancer care twice! Dr. Folbe was compassionate and a top notch health care provider. When I thought it was time for her to enter hospice care, Dr Folbe met us in her room at Troy Beaumont. He spoke very frankly but with compassion in this decision. It meant the world to me and to my mom."

"Dr. Folbe is amazing! I have recommended him to everyone I know. He has taken care of my father for over 5 years and I am forever grateful for him. His staff is also AMAZING, they have helped me time and time again. I hope God continues to grace them as they have me."

"Dr. Folbe is a FANTASTIC, smart, hugely compassionate Oncologist. We love him so much that he is my, my mother's and my father's Oncologist for years. We are all so grateful to him for basically saving our lives. You will not be disappointed."

"Dr Folbe was very prompt, knowledgeable,and personable.We were confident if we needed any followup care he was the best man for the job. We were Blessed that we did not need his services. We highly recommend this Doctor."
