If you've never been to a podiatric physician (podiatrist), want/need to start seeing one, and…read morearen't sure what the experience is like once you get there, I'm happy to report that I had an outstanding first appointment experience at Austin Foot and Ankle Specialists. The office is set in a relaxing Hill Country setting with free parking shaded by live oak trees. The serene surroundings and organized, clean office, conveniently situated close to downtown yet much less stressful, are exactly what you hope to find in a medical office setting. Also impressive: The online check-in process was made available in advance; the welcoming, friendly front desk staff person helped me find the office after Apple Maps misdirected my navigation; and the attentive medical assistant ensured I felt comfortable and informed before seeing the doctor. Dr. Craig Thomajan was excellent--he took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions thoroughly, and his calm expertise put me at ease. I left feeling well cared for and with a clear understanding of my treatment plan. Now that I know what going to a podiatric physician involves, I won't hesitate to return in six weeks for my next appointment. I highly recommend Austin Foot and Ankle Specialists to anyone seeking expert, compassionate foot and ankle care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

I originally left a positive review shortly after surgery, but after living with the results long…read moreterm, I no longer feel I can recommend this surgeon. I underwent bunion surgery on my right foot, along with correction of another toe. Unfortunately, the final outcome has been very disappointing. Following surgery, my big toe healed with a significant gap between it and my second toe, creating an unnatural appearance that has never improved. In addition, the toe that was corrected with a pin never healed properly and now "floats" rather than resting naturally on the ground. Despite prolonged taping and following the postoperative instructions provided, these issues never resolved. I became so dissatisfied with the outcome that I ultimately chose not to return for additional treatment. I understand that no surgery comes with guarantees, but I feel my concerns and the long term appearance and function of my foot were not adequately addressed. Years later, I remain unhappy with the results and regret having had the procedure performed. Based on my personal experience and outcome, I cannot recommend this surgeon.

Yesterday, I went to the Emergency Room in New Braunfels and the doctor there did his best to excise the offending piece of nail. This morning, my toe was throbbing, and bleeding so I knew that things were just not right. I was not a prior patient of this practice. I called Dr. Ransom's office at 10:30 today, not realizing that normally they close at 12 on Friday. I fully expected to have to wait over the weekend to get an appointment. None-the-less, Dr. Ransom took my call... talked to me personally and told me to come right in. I arrived at his office quickly and after only a few minutes, I was called back to an exam room. Dr. Ransom explained why the ER visit didn't quite fix my problem. He was able to get the ingrown toenail out and bandaged very quickly. After suffering for three weeks, today is the first day my toe is only tender. Dr. Ransom's staff were all very polite and everyone was extremely nice. I recommend this practice very highly.
