Personal profile
Dr. Folman is the senior partner and President of Oncology Associates of Bridgeport. He greatly appreciates the special relationships he has had with so many patients and their families over the years. His concern for his patients and their well-being is reflected in the instrumental role he played in helping to create the original home hospice program for greater Bridgeport. While he enjoys relaxing in his garden, he also remains a very active athlete who has been nationally ranked and has competed internationally in squash.
Repeatedly selected by his colleagues as one of the "Best Doctors," his greatest pride and joy come from his loving marriage and his three wonderful children.
