Worst Podiatry office ever! I couldn't believe how poor of a job this "Doctor" Dr William Parker did for me. I work long days on my feet and it took a month to book an appointment . I called several times to find a cancellation, but the nurses or secretaries won't keep track and try to get you in sooner. My appointment day finally comes. The nurses hear my complaints and say the doctor will probably xray and see me soon. No X-rays, just a couple of pokes and prods on my feet before he recommended his generic orthotic inserts. Try them for 2 weeks before my follow up appointment. I requested custom orthotics, but he denied my request. Immediately I realized it wasn't enough. I called the office the following business day only to be told I had to wait my 2 weeks for the next appointment. This office failed me. The doctor did the absolute minimum dial it in job. The receptionists have a middle school level of communication, every other word dictated to my voicemail was "um". If I could give negative stars for wasting my time, keeping me in pain and selling me costly inserts that don't help I would do so. Don't waste your time with Dr William Parker, he doesn't care about you and his practice is a joke. Good day Coastal Podiatry. OrthoSC got me an appointment within 3 days, immediately X Rayed, addressed the problem with the appropriate orthotics, gave me exercises to help me strengthen and stretch my feet. read more

I've seen most of the doctors in this office over the years, had 3 tenatomies, and only 1 of them stopped my pain. (don't remember which doctor performed that surgery). The last surgery I had here turned out to be unesseccary bc it wasn't even another hammer toe-it was broken. I endured 2yrs of pain & made wasted trips to MUSC podiatry/other doctors because none of the doctors here were giving me the answers I needed. I ended up going to Dr.Whiteside at Tidelands just to be told it was broke and it grew back wrong. Then, after Dr.Whiteside did surgery to correct that toe, I found out OrthoSC (in MI) has an orthopedic podiatrist (dr. Crosby) and he used a new/better technique/procedure when he did my next tenatomy. Needless to say, I will not be back to CoastalPodiatry ever again. read more

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience. Worst office ever. No response called several times about test results.

I called the office yesterday on Ladson Road in Summerville and the staff member who answered needs to learn how to speak properly to people on the phone. I explained that I was a juvenile diabetic with a problem with my right second toe and the nail had grown downward and was torn to the skin. It did not appear to be infected but just needed to have it looked at --maybe cleaned,sutured,etc. The person told me "if you are new we have no appointments for new people until June. I said it is only May 11,2026 and no one can see me to see if it is becoming infected and she said---"if it is not infected you cannot be seen until June. I was shocked and hung up and then found a practice near St. Francis Hospital that will see me Tuesday of next week. I have arranged transportation with my insurance provider and so grateful that the lady at the office was kind. I will never ever contact this office ever again. read more

I am unable to care for my toe nails properly due to my age and rather severe arthritis. Nails needed to be cut and my big toes had very painful ingrown nails, which I told the "nurse " .When the doctor came in He didnt say much other then ask if I was diabetic ( Im not ) just Started cutting my nails ,I let him know how painful my big toes were I am stil shocked by what happened next , while having a good grip on my foot he started cutting on my big toe !! No warning , no meds to help with the pain , NOTHING !! I was begging him to stop . I have had painful things done before , never have I been treated like I was there . He continued on both toes until he finished them . The pain was unbelievable . This bordered on assult , I realize that now . I have never been treated so badly by anyone before especially someone calling themselves a DOCTOR ! I want to warn people about this person , Its Dr Joseph Menn . This whole experience has left me in shock , if someone told me this about a doctor I might take it with a grain of salt , hard to believe ! Its true , Im old but still fortunately still in my own mind ! l read more

Be a good doctor and care for your patients. Why would you even become a doctor if you don't care? It's been a month and you all were supposed to call us back with a protocol. I've talked to the staff three times and still no response. And you leave and go on vacation?!! Without even following up with the prescription you told us you were going to call in for us? I am beyond upset. My son is still in pain and we have been patiently waiting for you to call in our prescription. I do NOT recommend this practice. read more

I called the office on a Thursday, because I was in severe foot pain for 2 days. Could not sleep. Was limping around. Was told the doctor could not see me until a week later. I called a second time basically begging them to see me. All I needed was a cortisone shot. 5 minutes. I was told I could go to another office on Tuesday instead of Thursday. After having a 3rd sleepless night, I called a 3rd time. The receptionist told me there were only 3 doctors available and there was no way she could fit me in. Sounded like she couldn't care less. I called another podiatrist and they saw me that day at 12:15. Got my shot and already feel much better. If a doctor is not available when you are sick and in severe pain, what is the point of having that doctor? I now go to a different doctor. Will never go to CP again. read more

I had surgery last year for insertional achilles bone spurs. After having cortisone shots with risk associated with them I decided to have the surgery. During my recovery I stated that I was having pain in the side of my foot I was told that this is part of the recovery process and it would get better. I am a year out now and still no relief. I decided to have a second opinion by an orthopedic doctor and was told that when the doctor did the surgery he didn't clean out the area sufficiently and there are bone spurs still in that area of my foot. I am now going to have to get another procedure done to rectify the situation. The ortho doctor stated that a podiatrist doesn't normally do this procedure and that sometimes they don't clean out the side area of the achilles and that this is what I am experiencing. I would not recommend. read more

Dr Werter,s office insist that I pay out of pocket for the same procedure that my Podiatrist in Naples Florida has no out of pocket expense. It is to remove a very painful growth on the bottom of one foot. Unfortunately after many years where I was not charged I will select a new doctor. read more

Unfortunately I. did not have a positive experience with Coastal Podiatry. The doctor who was assigned to me lacked experience and incorrectly diagnosed my foot problem. I was in agony with pain for over 6 weeks under his care, and his responsiveness when I called for help was very slow. After about a month, he gave me a cortisone shot and caused severe bruising and swelling on my foot. I have had cortisone shots before in my foot and never experienced this before so it was suprising. This is when I knew I had to switch doctors. The way he administered the shot caused significantly more severe pain, rather than relieving it. In the end, I ended up switching doctors and seeing Dr Pappas who was an excellent doctor at OrthoSC. He immediately diagnosed my problem and put my leg in a cast for 6 weeks. Through the cast, he stabilized the pain and healed my foot injury. This doctor at Coastal Carolina did not know what he was doing at all, and my injury kept getting worse and worse. if he had diagnosed my injury correctly and put my leg in a cast in the beginning, I would not have had to suffer so much pain for weeks and weeks. Save yourself a lot of headaches and go to a more experienced provider who knows what they are doing. read more

I waited a month for my toe pain to go away, but it just got worse. So, a visit to Dr. Werter revealed an ingrown toenail which was a new experience to me. Dr Werter and the staff were very kind which put me at ease. The doctor performed a quick procedure and gave thorough instructions for further care of my toe. It is healing nicely. read more

dr menn is the worst. think twice before having your feet messed up forever. a shot into my toe bone left me crippled. he said i was stuck with it. nothing he could do. sometimes it just happens. very uncaring. he was more interested in impressing his assistants read more

No complaints with the actual toenail clipping. I had been to Coastal Podiatry in the summer and the doctor did a fine job and, this time around, the toenail clipping was fine again. (I don't go to nail salons for pedicures during Covid.) My negative review is because on my second visit I had such a bizarre experience that I have no plans of ever returning to Coastal Podiatry again. Things started out okay. A technician came in and trimmed the nails on all my toes except the two big toes, then she left after the doctor arrived. He quickly trimmed the nails on my two big toes. That took about two minutes or less. As he hung up his tools abd I slipped into my shoes, I said something like, "Well thanks! I hope you and your staff stays healthy during this pandemic." Well, that comment triggered something in the doctor because he proceeded to lecture me on what he thinks about the Covid-19 pandemic. I sat there awkwardly in his treatment chair as his venting-session went on for what seemed like FOREVER but was probably more like 10 minutes. He and I were both wearing masks, so he couldn't tell that my jaw dropped open as he began to spout his theory that Covid is made worse by "THE MEDIA" and that EVERYONE will probably get it and that only a tiny percentage of the people who do will actually die. He thinks everyone who tests positive should immediately get "Hydroxychloriquine (sp?)". Meanwhile, I'm just sitting there listening to his rant. He mentions that his wife, a retired family practitioner, doesn't really see eye to eye with him on this topic. But he reserved most of his anger for a female neighbor of his who he said doesn't like President Trump, although he didn't go into details about how he knows this about his neighbor and what that might have to do with Covid. This strange episode with my podiatrist took place before the November 3rd general election, but the doctor would have had no way of knowing if I was a Trump supporter or not.) I didn't say ANYTHING while he was ranting but I was trying to hatch a plan for how to get out of the office. He was speaking in a loud voice that was probably audible to anyone walking past the exam room. He seemed to be getting more and more frustrated as he went on and on. But then he seemed to have reached the end of his soliloquy as quickly as it began. I asked when he wanted to see me again and I said, "okay, Doc, I'll see you in December. Be safe." I quickly got out of there. I sat in my car for about 10 minutes thinking, "what the heck just happened?!" read more

I had heel pain and needed to see a podiatrist. I called to make an appointment and was told they don't take my insurance. (state insurance) I then asked how much an office visit would cost she indicated I needed to contact my insurance to see what it would cost or which doctors were in network. I did that and called them back. I asked if they took self paying clients. The response was yes. Next question, ok, how much would an office visit cost. Response I don't know, that information is out of the billing office. I understand there is a basic fee and possible additional fees. But wanted to know if the fee was 100.00 or 300.00 for a basic office visit. Need less to say I have an appointment with another physician. I realize I don't really matter in their world but I feel they could have given me at least some kind of estimate. DD, Little River read more

Nothing but great service from a friendly staff, I cannot think of a thing to say bad about them(staff on Rourk st). I will keep them as my provider for podiatry problems as long as I need them. Ken Rippel read more

I was on vacation from California and I hurt my toe really bad. I called for an emergency appointment and they got me in within the hour. Dr. Scott took excellent care of me. I was really scared and he helped me to feel at ease. My accident happened in the morning and so I did not have any breakfast. I felt like was going to faint when he was taking care of my foot. He and his staff made sure I was okay and stayed with me the whole time. It's scary to have an emergency when you are traveling and I truly appreciated how well they took care of me. Thank you Dr. Scott and staff!!!! read more

Unfortunately I did not have a good experience.. when my husband called to make the appointment for me they told him they couldn't tell him how much it would be to get my toe looked at. Hmm okay... so I arrive at the appointment and I ask before anything how much it will cost just to get my toe looked at (paying out of pocket, so of course I'd love an idea)? Once again still can't tell me!! I did not feel comfortable or at ease about the procedure, I explained I have a lot of anxiety and the thought of cutting open my toe I wasn't prepared to do something same day. I said I wanted to wait a few days to set up the appointment to be prepared (now that I know what I have to have done) and then all of a sudden the front desk lady figured out the 5 minutes of me talking to the doctor about my options was worth $70. Needless to say I absolutely did not return. I did however go to Low Country Foot Specialists and I felt 100% welcome and at ease. read more

Where do I begin....I am writing this for my grandfather who is 88 years old. This office encouraged my grandfather to get special shoes that were promised to be covered by Medicare wouldn't have to pay a cent. Long and behold a couple of weeks later he received a bill over $180 (what the insurance wouldn't pay). However, that's not why I am writing this review. When my grandfather went to his next visit the woman at the front desk said loudly that they would not see my grandfather until the bill was paid. It was embarrassing and uncalled for. The fact that she would say this loudly in a full waiting area absolutely floored me. A courtesy call would have sufficed. We will NEVER return. What a classy receptionist ‍ read more

Do NOT use this practice! My father had a callous removed from his foot, Dr Moore hit a bone while removing the callous- resulting in an infection that never healed. As a result, the infection took over my fathers body and he passed away Christmas Eve. BEWARE!! read more

Mixed review as provider was helpful on 1st visit when I came in with severe pain from plantar fasciitis and got relief. Was overcharged though after 2nd visit and after numerous phone calls still waiting for refund of payment as they charged over the Medicare claimed amount for my deductible which begins every January. Just a caution if you go in January and have Medicare. read more

I recently called to schedule an appointment and the receptionist was extremely rude and not helpful at all! I do not recommend this practice to anyone unless you like to deal with rude and inconsiderate people. read more
