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.

1) I am over 65 and retired. I live on a very fixed income. Like a lot of retirees, my budget is…read morelimited. 2) These podiatrists have been treating me for a severe chronic ankle wound and I have no complaints about their care. My issues began after several weekly visits. I was seeing Dr. Adams at their Dripping Springs office once a week. She is no longer with the group. They also have another office in Oak Hill. The first thing the front desk clerk says when you walk in is "you have a balance of $XX. Can you take care of that today? It's very uncomfortable, as there are usually others in the waiting room. They state loudly that they will not see you if your balance is over $200. I had to skip a couple weeks and start going to the Oak Hill office, where I had never been before. When I walked in and sat down the clerk said, "You have a balance of $195. Can you take care of this today. I told her I could pay $100. People were in the waiting room. It was embarrassing. When I saw the doctor, I told her I couldn't afford to be seen every week. We agreed that I would start coming every 2 weeks to lower my costs. When I checked out, the same clerk pressured me to pay the full amount plus $56 for that day's visit. I told her $100 was all I HAD at that time. She said if I didn't pay the full amount before my next appointment or they "couldn't" see me. Again, embarrassing! Also, just for the record, I have only received one statement from SWF&A, which I ignored, because it was dated several weeks in the past, I had already paid part of it, and I knew I'd be in their office in the next few days. I was paying my full balance every week, until it suddenly went up. After Dr. Adams left I couldn't get in for a couple weeks. I have never received an explanation of benefits of any kind so I really have no idea what procedures are being done and what the actual charges afor those procedures. I'm not going back. I don't think any of these doctors were going hungry because I couldn't pay $95 for a week or so. I'm not going through that every time I have a visit. It's upsetting and demeaning. This practice appears to be much more concerned with money than with my health. And people wonder why we need healthcare reform?

Add me to the tally of RUINED FEET!…read more Years ago, I saw Robson for a plantar's wart: excellent bedside manner, great education, effective treatment. I had observed folks in the waiting room who had successful bunionectomies: Knowing I'd need it some day, I made sure to remember who I'd call... 2023: it's time for that bunionectomy! My deformity was such that it would require an osteotomy (for alignment correction) and fusion (metatarsal-tarsal) with hardware. My 2nd toe was already so long that it would need shortening to ensure proper foot mechanics (the osteotomy & fusion would make big toe too short/weight bearing would shift to the 2nd toe, which isn't good). "Everything went well," he informed my husband immediately post-op. But the numbness from the surgery never resolved... At each follow-up appt, I mentioned my concern of lack of sensation: He said I must've had neuropathy BEFORE surgery: NO I DID NOT! He got so upset about my complaints (or was that he just didn't believe me?!?) that at next follow-up appt... He took out a straight pin and began poking the areas: I felt NOTHING. He became more and more aggressive, now stabbing my foot repeatedly, until a look of embarrassment came over his face, as he subtly grabbed a tissue to wipe the blood from my foot and the blood drips on the floor that he caused! No, the needle wasn't sterile - it was a straight pin! But, he insisted that he couldn't have cut ALL the nerves because of the pain caused when he grabbed my big toe, pulled (yanked is more accurate) and held it as far away from the other toes as possible. He said I needed to pull it like this regularly. Previously, he had given me instructions for mobilizations to improve extension/bending toe up (only) and NOT for this...yet he insisted that I wasn't working on my foot like I should be (I'm a PT eager to power thru this rehab, so yes I was). The fusion nail through the metatarsal to the tarsal/1st cuneiform protruded to the 2nd cuneiform and began chiseling into it! He claimed that I only mentioned pain in this region AFTER I saw the X-ray (this was in the medical records). Um, this day, he didn't put the X-rays on screen: As he pulled the pictures up, he immediately clicked away, saying, "now's a good time to look at the original x-ray and start talking about hardware removal." While feebly clicking to search, he said, "That's right, our system went through an update, so I can't get to them right now." I asked to at least grab a pic "for posterity's sake." Barely had a chance to snap a pic of this day's x-ray, and no time to look at it until I got home. 2nd toe: The incision was made on the top/dorsum of the foot, right at the base of the 2nd toe. As incisions heal, scar tissue is laid and it contracts... I developed a hammer toe! Dr. Robson said, "I wish we discussed this hammer toe before surgery to take care of it then," to which my reply was "I didn't have a hammer toe before surgery." I still don't have sensation in the ball of my foot, big toe, nor 2nd toe. Can't find/feel the ball of foot when trying to push off with gait. My 3rd toe has become inappropriately helpful with pushing off (& is constantly red). New surgeon didn't want to disparage Dr. Robson: He was super professional. But the truth slipped out over visits: 1. The angle of fusion is such that the big toe/hallux/MTP joint doesn't bend straight (for a normal gait push-off); rather, it bends similarly to how it did before (directionally, as with bunions deformities). No amount of yanking the big toe outward will change the joint alignment (Robson had said I just needed to reshape the meniscal disc). 2. The 1st ray (metatarsal) was fused with the metatarsal head (AKA ball of the foot) ELEVATED, which explains why I can't "find it" when I try to push it down (seated/standing, lifting heel up). It mechanically CANNOT be the push-off bone as it should be. 3. The plate wasn't affixed flush to the bones - hardware removal would be necessary to wear shoes comfortably. 4. A sizable chunk was chiseled out of 2nd cuneiform from the protruding tip of the fusion nail. 5. Hammer toe was an obvious result of the procedure shortening the 2nd toe. Other issues & details being left out because of how long this already is. Bottom line: DO NOT RECOMMEND DR. ROBSON FOR BUNIONECTOMY REQUIRING FUSION. In fact, I've reported him to my insurance company and to the Board.
