I am writing this as it pertains to my wife which impacts me…read more My wife went in to see Dr. Erickson for a simple ingrown toenail. (We have had experience getting another toe taken care of before we moved to California and thought it would be a straightforward surgery.) This time it was multiple visits, constant infection and pain. It took months before the infection was totally gone. At times my wife felt her infected toe was an annoyance to the doctor. And now, unfortunately, my wife is left with a disfigured big toe that will never have a normal toe nail ever again. (see picture) We do not recommend Dr. Erickson.

"Smartest Doctor on Planet Earth?"…read more I came to see Dr Erickson for a foot injury. They have a funny little office back from the street. It's a little bit of a hunt to find the office, but it's worth it. She took my case seriously, got x-rays, and then give my foot a thorough exam. I admit I screamed a few times, but it was good pain. She isolated the problem to a few possibilities, and suggested an MRI, which I'll be getting soon. I was impressed with Dr Erickson's grasp of her field. It's not often I encounter someone so capable. (And we engineers are not easily impressed.) Dr. Erickson is clearly an extraordinarily intelligent person. I'm pretty sure she's a rocket scientist or a quantum physicist in her spare time.

I came in for a bay infected toe and he was able to quickly perform surgery and save my toe. I am so grateful I have found such a caring physician. Unfortunately he has moved and fortunately, he has now opened his new practice close to Costco in Livermore, California!

They are very caring, conscientious, and supportive and always available to make appointments with and to help Dr Zhang in his practice. Obviously, I am a fan of Dr Zhang and have recommended him too many of my friends. If you are looking for a podiatrist, I highly recommend this doctor!

A few days later, it was appointment time with Dr Joshua Van Gompel (I say the full name again because there's another Van Gompel!). OMG. Expert. Nice as pie. Knows everything. Personable. Listens.

I have also had my own not-so-ideal experience with a podiatrist. So I switched to Dr. Ahmad, even though I have a long couple hour drive to get to his office. It has been totally worth it, and I have never been sorry. He is the best foot doctor around!

"A+ Quality, Friendly Staff"…read more For my next visit to Dr Bell, I decided to break my shoulder. Well, okay, not really broken-- the usual rotator cuff injury. The doctor described the tendons as "shredded." This was not exactly the adjective I was hoping for, and surgery was required. The surgery was uneventful, and took place right across the street at Hacienda Surgery Center. On my next visit to the doctor he provided color photos of my surgery. It's sort of like doing selfies, except you're unconscious. Several weeks later, I was in the capable hands of the onsite physical therapist, Mark Snyder, assisted by his capable assistant. Karen. These folks are excellent-- professional, as well as friendly. I sometimes call Mark, "Mr.Pain." It was originally, "Dr. Pain," but he reminded me he was not yet a doctor. I don't know why I came up with that nickname for Mark. During physical therapy, whilst icing my shoulder, the PT team allows me to watch the TV show, "Sherri." This is part of Mark's therapy, and provided at no extra charge. I am always pleased with the proficiency professionalism and courtesy of the great staff here. A top tier medical practice happens neither easily or quickly. Doctor Bell is a very capable surgeon. I would not go anywhere else. But please don't tell the physical therapist that I call him Mr.Pain. That nickname might be misinterpreted , and they might cut me off from the "Sherri" TV show.
