He swore at them and called them a liar, over a broken small plastic hook on the front door. He continued this swearing and name calling.

His behavior forced the employee to leave.

I had been suffering from back and knee pain for five years with a significant limp. I had seen several doctors who prescribed a variety of medications with multiple diagnosis's and even recommended a major knee surgery that was not needed. All my pain was due to the leg length discrepancy that Dr. Yakel found using a computer measuring tool. He prescribed that my right shoe be built up as my leg length discrepancy was 3/4 of an inch. I've had my shoes built up and after a month of wearing them I have no limp and can walk my dog again and function without pain. I hope this review helps others and that you see Dr. Yakel if you suspect a leg length discrepancy or have a severe limp you can't figure out. He was kind, empathetic and really cared about me. I highly recommend him for any podiatry issue. Thank you Dr. Yakel!!

Outstandingly Caring & Experienced Physician Over the past…read moretwo years, Dr. Jelinek has invariably provided me with outstanding services. During each visit he has been very attentive to my concerns, answered my questions thoroughly, been extremely generous with his time and resources and -- above all, has delivered extremely supportive and encouraging professional medical care. His friendly staff has always made me feel welcome and done their very best to accommodate my needs. I highly recommend this podiatric clinic.

Due to genetics and years of running, my feet have been problematic, but Dr. Jelinek has stood by me and helped get me back on my feet any time I have had issues. It was sheer luck that I ended up seeing him after another doctor misdiagnosed my condition years ago. I am fortunate that I have been able to work with someone so knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend Columbine Foot & Ankle Center. Though Dr. Jelinek is often booked weeks out, any wait time will be worth it, and you can always ask to be put on the cancellation list. The office is very good about calling when someone else cancels an appointment.

I find it very hard to believe with his lack of skill. He placed a device in my foot and it backed out halfway. When I went back to him, he basically told me that there was really nothing he could do and that as long as I didn't have pain, it should be fine. You should've refunded the entire cost of my surgery and offered to redo his work. If you care about your feet, I would suggest you stay far away from this doctor.

Dr Anderson and his team have been blessings to me. I have suffered from horrible restless leg…read moresyndrome for over 20 years. Dr Anderson performed nerve decompression surgery on my worse leg a few days ago. For the first time in at least 10 years I was able to lie down and take a nap in the afternoon without medication. The severity of my symptoms at night have gone from a miserable 10 to a manageable 2 on reduced medication. Dr Anderson and his team took great care of me from my initial consultation all the way through post op on my first leg. I am scheduled to have my other leg done this week and looking forward to similar results. I am hopeful that during the 90 day healing period my restless leg syndrome will be completely reversed or close to being completely reversed. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Anderson and team to anyone who suffers from RLS. Regards Dave Schettino

The doctor used a low tech method of laying wet plaster strips on my feet to get the "mold" formed. When my orthotics came in I was called in to pick up. After wearing for several days I could tell they weren't right for my feet. He sent them back for adjustment. Now after wearing for 9 months I have such stabbing pains in both feet I went to a specialist who molded my feet in plaster casts. I am hoping These new orthotics help my pain.

Modifications were continually needed throughout the next several months. I finally received what should have been the "final" corrected version in February 2016 and they still weren't right. At this point I had spent $400 and wasted almost 10 months waiting for them to finally get this right. When I received version 4 (literally 4, but felt like version 345) in February and they still didn't work, I figured it was time to stop trying. I called to request a full or partial refund and they refused to compensate me. Look, I get it. All the revisions and extra shipping to and from their lab cost them money. Everyone at the clinic is very nice and Dr. Yakel was adamant about getting it right. However, while I appreciate them working with me, I'm still without orthotics and now out $400. I never even received an apology. Hopefully I'm in the minority here! One final note. They are REALLY bad at calling people back. The old medical assistant (Andrea) was spectacular, but the new MA missed the boat several times on calling me back. I had to follow up on my own if I expected to ever talk to someone.
