    I'm switching practices just so I don't ever have to speak to the receptionist again. She was…read moreutterly dismissive of my very easy ask that she forward DHS paperwork to the doctor. The doctor himself is professional and I have not had any problems with him. I scanned it cleanly and emailed it to the office. She took one look at it, called me back, and said she 'could' have the doctor look at it but that they just wouldn't be able to complete it. My case worker at DHS had deliberately told me to send this physical assessment to my podiatrist's office for temporary assistance. The receptionist was insisting that I was fine and that she could call DHS directly and tell them that I'm not having any issues, as if it were a threat. ...Why did I pay $200 for custom orthotics if I'm fine, then? This receptionist is simply an assistant, and yet she was acting as though she were both my doctor AND my case worker. I asked very politely if she could just have the doctor look at it and fill out any information RELEVANT TO PODIATRY, and sign it. I said I WOULD DO THE REST. ...She insisted I hang up and contact DHS, because she 'does paperwork all day', and apparently knows better than the local government. Extremely condescending and unprofessional. Don't even bother asking for more than the bare minimum. Waste of time and energy. Because of her incompetence, the deadline passed and my case was denied because I didn't have all of the paperwork in. I sincerely doubt she even told the doctor I called.

    Great staff, amazing podiatrist- really listens and responsive to patient needs. Highly recommend.read more

    I had a very disappointing experience with this office. When I scheduled my appointment, I…read morespecifically explained that I needed the last appointment of the day because I babysit. I was told my appointment was at 4:00 p.m. and that I should arrive at 3:45 p.m. I received paperwork beforehand and only glanced at it, not realizing it listed the appointment time as 2:45 p.m. As a result, I arrived at 3:45 p.m. as I had been told and was informed that I was considered a "no-show" and would be charged a $150 fee. What was most frustrating was the way I was treated. The first office staff member I spoke with was extremely rude when I tried to explain that this was a genuine misunderstanding. I wasn't a no-show--I did show up, just at the wrong time due to a scheduling mix-up. After I got home, I called back and spoke with a secretary who was very kind and said the office manager would call me. That never happened, and I had to call again myself. I was then told they would reduce the fee from $150 to $125, but I still don't feel that's fair given the circumstances. The office also told me that their last appointment of the day is always 2:45 p.m. However, as a new patient, I would have had no way of knowing that. To make matters even more confusing, when I arrived at 3:45 p.m., the waiting room was full of people. Everyone makes mistakes, and I understand appointment policies are important. However, I expected much better customer service and a little understanding for what was clearly an honest misunderstanding. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this office.
