I had a very disappointing experience with this podiatrist. I waited over an hour for my appointment without complaining because I understood that delays can happen. When I was finally seen, the visit lasted only about five minutes. I was never disrespectful to him. I simply asked a question about my son's treatment because I wanted to understand the plan of care. Instead of answering my question, he acted as though I was questioning his expertise, mentioned that he had 35 years of experience, and immediately told me to seek a second opinion. As a parent, I was simply trying to make informed decisions about my son's care. I expected a respectful conversation, but instead I felt dismissed and disrespected. He may have 35 years of experience, but in my opinion, he could use 35 years of training in customer service and kindness. Experience alone doesn't make a great doctor. Listening to patients, showing empathy, and treating families with respect are just as important as clinical expertise. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this podiatrist. I do want to say that the office staff was kind and courteous. They treated me with respect throughout my visit. Unfortunately, I did not receive that same level of respect from the doctor. read more

Dr Greer doesn't listen to patients. Once he has decided on the issue and path forward the patient doesn't get a say. I went in with ankle pain. He recommended an orthotic and a steroid shot. I told him multiple times that the steroid shots don't work for me (5 others didn't work). He grabbed my foot and did the shot anyway. He said it would only hurt for a moment and then would be significant relief. I spent a week in a lot of pain and a month limping (worse than before the shot). Finally started to feel better. My guess is the orthotic ( commercial one, not his $500 special). Upon my return visit I told him about the issues and his response was, see the shot worked. I can't recommend a doctor who thinks every person is the same and reacts the same as most others to medications. He is a pompous know-it-all. I won't be going back and can't recommend him. read more

I'm a person who usually trusts their medical providers because we must in order to keep our overall health in good working order as a species. Dr. James Greer is the first provider I've run into that's completely failed me. Reading the other 1-star reviews I can also attest that the initial bad feeling I had about this man is definitely "narcissist." I did not feel heard by him, and although I came in for PF, he didn't even notice the bunion forming in my right foot, which has since gotten worse and painful. I give him two stars at all because the over-the-counter orthotics his staff gave me was slightly helpful for combating these things, but overall I still have these conditions so consider the two-star rating as a very generous D-. Please find another podiatrist. Don't let poor care keep you in pain and possibly permanent disability. And I'm saying this as a 23 year old. read more

This doctor yelled at me and banged his hand on the patient table violently because he got mad that I discontinued my medication for gout. I told him I did that because I wasn't in any pain. Even as he was explaining he was yelling. The manager came in and I told her I'm very forgetful and did not remember the instructions. She said he's just passionate. No, he's so rude and unprofessional. Every time I have an appointment I'm anxious, nervous and worried about seeing this doctor. read more

Gave me 2 injections for PF pain but did not tell me the one on my outer foot could cause injury to nearby tendon, which it did. Misdiagnosed the injury as sprain or strain. Now I'm in a boot hoping to avoid surgery. Tried several times to sell me in-house custom orthotics, going so far as to tell me they were the only remedy to my foot issues. read more

Dr. Greer and his staff are Top Notch! Very thorough, knowledgeable and comforting. Although I had to wait for three weeks for an appointment, I would highly recommend this office. read more

My daughter had a problem with her toe, we had been to other doctors and had treatments but nothing worked. We went to see Mr Greer and he was amazing, patient, kind and really put her at ease. He was very experienced and he toe problem is now solved. All the staff are very friendly and they really care. We had a great experience and most importantly my daughters toe is now perfect. read more

This man is egotistical and has no bedside manner. He did not provide a dx. and his treatment made the problem worse, not better. He seemed too interested in signing me up for an expensive and unnecessary surgery. Had to see an orthopedic surgeon subsequently who immediately diagnosed the problem and his treatment made it disappear within a couple days' time. read more

I went to see Dr. Greer after months of increasing foot pain. It had finally gotten to the point that I could barely walk once I had been off of my feet. The pain was unbareable and brought me to tears everytime I had to walk. A friend had recommended that I go see Dr. Greer right away and thank goodness I listened. When I met with him he listened to everything I had to say and explained in detail what was going on with my feet. After leaving his office I felt like I was in good hands. Sure enough I was right, within a week Dr. Greer has me walking without any of the pain I had before!!! I cannot express the gratitude I have for him. I HIGHLY recommend this doctor! read more

My wife and I (both is our late 50's) have both seen Dr. Greer for issues which ultimately required surgery. First my wife had an accident at work and Dr. Greer worked with her for over a year using techniques and devices to help her. Over time it became obvious surgery was needed to correct the problem. I was very concerned due to her ease of scarring. We discussed this problem in detail and he was confident the incision, long and on side of arch, would heal without scarring. She was hurting so much we decided to do the surgery. She recovered very well and followed all instructions closely and now there is no scar. Unbelievable. This is when I decided I may try him and repair a problem I have had for 30 years which prevented me from walking barefoot. This problem has a long difficult history with me and again I was worried about a scar causing me long term problems. Yes he was confident he could help me where others could not and to some maybe he comes across as "egotistical" or whatever but I'm an engineer and I prefer confident doctors working on me who can fully explain their work, even though I may not understand it all. Less than two months after surgery there is absolutely NO scar, even my primary doctor was very impressed. So I recommend Dr. Greer. Go in and ask questions and re-ask if you don't get it. He isn't going to baby you but he did a very good job of caring for us with two successes. If you want someone to hold your hand maybe he doesn't do that, just give him more than one visit and get beyond the introduction. BTW, we have never waited very long at all. I have some doctors I wait well over an hour regularly. Which I hate but makes me feel I would rather wait for a good doctor than walk right in with a not so good doctor. read more
