I can't send everyone to Dr Fahy~she is overbooked. I LOVE her as a sports medicine/primary care provider. VERY supportive and encouraging for me to keep being an active athletic senior.

Such a wonderful doctor.
Dr. Fahy does an excellent job of communicating with me about my immediate problem and responding to future concerns.
I was mistakenly assigned Dr. Fayhe when my sports medicine doctor left the clinic, but when we had our appointment for my back she informed me of the error and that she is a primary care doctor. I happened to be in search of a PC, so I rolled with it. She is wonderful! She's attentive and very good at gently informing and is happy to go into detail when I ask questions. Very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. While I'm not a medication hunter, I've noticed she's very conservative with prescription meds and ensures they're necessary, which I very much appreciate.
I have recommended Dr. Fahy to several people. She is outstanding.

Kate Fahey is by far the best PCP I've ever had.
It's a running joke in my house that I HATE going to the doctor. I just tend to avoid it because I've had a hard time getting family doctors to take my (admittedly not always earth-shattering) health concerns seriously. But that changed with Dr. [...] and it REALLY changed with Dr. Fahey. I WANT to stay healthy and for me part of that is being very physically active. I want a doctor who takes seriously anything that keeps me from exercising. I know docs are always busy and being pulled in a thousand directions, so I don't blame them. I wouldn't have the patience I'm looking for in a family physician. But Dr. [...] had it. And Dr. Fahey is even better. She squeezed me in at the last minute because of a blood pressure issue. When I asked, mid-visit, if we could also, while I was there, talk about the calf pain that was keeping me from running, she took it seriously. She brought in an ultrasound and checked it out. We went over what she found, and we came up with a plan that would allow me to keep running. In other words, she listened closely to what mattered most to me. She was friendly. She was funny. She seemed legitimately concerned about whatever concerned me. I came home and told my wife that Dr. Fahey is, by far, the best family doc I've had in 25 years. And I meant it.
