Throughout every visit, he has been kind, professional, and genuinely caring. When treating my plantar warts, he never made me feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, which meant a great deal to me. He took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable with my treatment. The office staff is wonderful as well. They have always been friendly, helpful, and patient when assisting me with my insurance and making sure I received everything I needed. It's clear that everyone in the office truly cares about their patients. If you're looking for a knowledgeable podiatrist and a caring team, I would absolutely recommend Empire Foot and Ankle.

i was really surprised and greatful being able to schedule my visit with dr boykins in a very…read moretimely manner. i have been waiting 3 to 4 weeks to see my other two doctors the main visit that i needed for another doctor visit was 3 months so how greatful i was to see dr. boykins so soon. i have seen two other podiatry doctors and all was not good at all . my arrival at this office was very promising immediately. he really cares about his patients such a outstanding bedside manner. he spent extra time listening and explaning my situation he was so calm and relaxed now days doctors are in a hurry and i have been told lets get moving i have another patient in 15 minutes how sad is that? my daughter was with me for the appointment and he even took the time to listen to her and give her advise that was very helpful. i/we will certainly continue as patients here at this office. very knowledgeable and outstanding doctor and great staff.

Based on bad reviews, I was scared to come to this office, but I have been blown away at how…read moreawesome Dr. Boykins and his staff are. I really don't understand these other low reviews. I'm a harsh no nonsense reviewer and I've given more bad reviews than good. I've been here 3 times and would give them 10 stars if I could. Doctor: Have seen about 5 different podiatrist in the past 5 years. By a mile, Dr. Boykins is the best. He genuinely cares for his patients and it shows in his outstanding bedside manner. He loves his job and taking care of people, unlike the other jerk Doctor that I went to in Moreno Valley. Dr. Boykins is very thorough in examining you and getting a full medical history and doesn't mind spending extra time with you to listen to you, which is something you hardly see in any other doctors these days. He's very calm, relaxed, and makes you feel he values your opinion and welcomes questions. Dr. Boykins is also a surgeon and it's a rarity to find the expertise and kindness in a doctor. Staff: Staff are personal, very polite, and treat you like family. After putting you in the office, they come in a little later and ask if you need anything like water, etc. It's like going to a health spa and being pampered. Also a rarity, they help you put your socks and shoes back on which was a complete shock. Other doctor's just walk out of the office and let you fend for yourself. When you call they answer the phone politely and call you back to get you an answer to your question. Appointment scheduling: No issues with appointment scheduling 30 days out and they found an available slot the week after 1st appointment to come back in for further diagnostic tests. To give you perspective, when you go to McDonald's, you spend 10 minutes to order and eat. When you go to a 5 star Michelin rated restaurant, you're going to spend an hour enjoying the best services. Since the doctor and staff spends extra time taking care of patients, sometimes appointment time runs later and get pushed back. I have 1 other doctor that does this also and it's because they spend extra time with the patient because they are really good doctor also. When you book your appointment, keep this in mind that you may be leaving later and plan accordingly. Parking: The office entrance is facing the charter school not the taco bell. In front of the entrance the parking is more busy there but there's no handicap spots in front of the door. You have to go to the south side of the building where there's plenty of handicap spots all congregated together for the whole building. Billing: They take anthem blue cross PPO and have had no issues with billing. I read other reviews that say that you have to put a deposit for appointments but in the three visits so far, never have been asked for money or to book an appointment. As always, things might change and I'll update the review if needed.

Please do your research on Dr. Yost before going forward with the surgery. He has lost multiple…read moremedical malpractice lawsuits. In addition to his incompetency he's incredibly rude and condescending. He was heavily critical of me getting a second opinion, and when we had no other option but to go with him for the surgery he took full advantage. He would go on to utterly botch my surgery. I spent the majority of my first two weeks post-op in the emergency room with infections. The surgery site spat sutures for 6 months. My elbow has never and will never be the same. He was absolutely nowhere to be found afterwards and nobody would put us in contact with him. Just an incredibly unprofessional and very unqualified surgeon - confined to the state of Montana because of his lack of hireability elsewhere due to his record.

I had a broken humor bone on my right upper arm and he helped me through my hospital stay during and after my surgery. He is the best surgeon . He also performed surgery on my left wrist later .

He explained everything clearly, took his time to answer all my questions, and made the whole screening process feel calm and stress-free. I felt truly cared for and confident throughout the visit. It's not easy to find a doctor who is both highly knowledgeable and genuinely attentive - Dr. Lee is exactly that. Highly recommend!

Ever since I first met him I felt a sense a calmness, immediately in his presence. He's so…read morethorough, honest and patient. Also, unbelievably knowledgeable. Always asking for consent and personal feedback such as: feelings, thoughts, unlimited of questions. Dr. Lee is genuinely out for us the patients and our best interest. I've met with multiple other GI Docs and left feeling disregarded, minimized, disrespected, confused, and quite frankly treated like a dollar sign. I honestly have never felt more seen and comfortable with Dr. Lee. I don't have one bad thing to say about him or his staff. I highly recommend him! A shout out to Yasmeen. I'm always emailing and calling her, she's so nice, very knowledgeable, patient with me, and so understanding. She works very hard and is on top of everything. I always get a fast response no matter what. Even though it's probably not necessarily her job she always helps me. Not once has she made me bad or an inconvenience to her. She's super friendly, down to earth and still professional. Thank you so much. We need more cool peeps like you and Dr. Lee respectfully of course in the medical field.

DISHONEST and UNETHICAL. And the front staff hostile and don't know or won't do their jobs…read more First, The Dr wanted an MRI, that was in the initial authorization. The staff REFUSED TO READ THE AUTH. They had to go back to the VA which took months. Diagnostics are preauthorized. The staff refused to look for it and in the end got several letters telling them it was preauthorized. This was early OCTOBER! End result, I did not get the MRI until Feb or March! WTF! So their being lazy denied me care for five to six months. The Dr. requested PRT plasma rich therapy. It was aproved. AWESOME! Again their staff didn't have it, I had to download my records and send it to them and call the VA to resend it. No problem right? WRONG! I can hardly walk by then and its only gotten worse now. The Dr only gives me steroid injections that no longer work. Whats the point? Last visit, I say good news, and ask, "So what is the treatment plan?" \ She begins ranting, when I bring up the PRT, "The VA authorized it, but they won't pay it...they won't pay what its worth." WTF? You have an auth and a contract. She now says, "Amniotic therapy is what I want to do, but you have to pay for it. Because the VA won't!" WTF! She had an auth that was aproved and now she doesn't want to do it and wants to do something that is not and that insurance won't cover to be paid under the table. That is highly questionable. I again ask, "What is the treatment plan." Again she rants, "I ordered braces and that which you will have to pay for....thats the plan." To date there have been no requests for braces and no request for additional care. At the conclusion of that apt, I ask, "So how long before a followup" she replies, "As needed" that is not an answer. Since steroids no longer work and there are no requests for braces or other care. So she is doing unethical practices in my book. Buyer Beware! I have reported them to the inspector general and they are now very interested.

The staff and treatment at OPTI is outstanding. Gregg Olsen, the owner, is a top level physical…read moretherapist with over three decades of experience working on patients from probably every career field, include professional, collegiate, and high school athletes, law enforcement, fire service, and other physically challenging work environments. Gregg and his staff work tirelessly to understand your injury, limitations, and goals for recovery and work effectively to help you meet those goals. They clearly understand every patient is different and do not offer the common "one size fits all" philosophy of PT, and instead tailor a program suited to the needs and limitations of each and every patient. Patients range from young teenagers to octogenarians and everyone is treated respectfully and with equal importance. In getting to know patients, Gregg and his staff do an excellent job of incorporating humor into the recovery...afterall, "laughter is the best medicine." I have been to OPTI for treatment of several injuries, and each time Gregg and his staff have helped me achieve positive results. The staff provides individual attention to each and every patient, and even when not directly interacting with a patient, are always keeping a watchful eye to ensure assigned exercise are being performed correctly to avoid further injury. I have previously been to another PT business, and while it was helpful, the level of service, attentiveness, willingness to help reach my recovery goals, was not near as evident as the service provided at OPTI. Gregg also willingly provides input in helping you develop a maintenance program after you complete your PT prescription, to help limit future injury. I highly recommend OPTI to anyone in need of PT, and can say without hesitation, you will be receiving treatment from an excellent staff who takes a genuine interest in your ongoing improvement and recovery.

As a retired police officer, Gregg has helped me through numerous shoulder and knee surgeries over the past 31 years. I have never received better care, or had a more caring and dedicated physical therapist. He and his staff make patients feel like family and everyone cares about your well being. Gregg and his staff don't just give you exercises, they monitor progress, make sure they are being done properly, pay attention to how your body handles things, and are consistently adjusting your program to best work with your body. One of the other things that is a standout is the hands-on soft tissue work included with the therapy session. The quality of care and dedication from Gregg and his staff have been a true blessing.

I don't know that I will want to go through this again no matter how good the doctor is. Also, their website is extremely poor and doesn't even list their doctors. Why? As for YELP it is disgusting because when I search for orthopedic doctors, eg., it lists nail salons, vein specialists, and everything but! This happens over and over again.
