Dr Sommer is very nice. He is also gentle working with you. His staff was great as well. My mom…read morewent in through the front door, no steps. I had to hold the door open. Sat down, 1 person ahead. 30 minutes total depending what your seen for. My mom was impressed and grateful that her toe, is not hurting her because doctor cut the nail and sanded it even as much as he could. So when she wears her shoe, the toe is not numbed anymore. I would recommend Dr Sommer. And I must say, everyone has experiences that can be bad or good. You may read reviews, show bad, cause thats what they experienced, while the ones who had good experiences will say, it was great. However, its like that everywhere. But truly. Give him a call, try it yourself. If you don't get the service as expected? I am sorry. You gaved it a try. If you did get that great service, please post away the experience you had. It helps others to decide.

Was not impressed with Dr. Meyer. Came in with posterior tibial tendinitis and was recommended to…read morehave new orthotics made. New orthotics were far more flexible and deformable than previous orthotics (have worn custom orthotics for 45 years and they have always been rigid plasti-cast with non-deformable arch). Went back after 2 months asking if orthotics could be re-made or adjusted as my pain was greater if anything. Was told nothing could be done, "arch overlapping the orthotic". Referred to a prosthetist, but Dr. Meyer not any too sanguine about possibility of success, "maybe this guy can make some sort of brace for you. Might need surgery to ever be pain-free". When I asked about surgery (what it involved, cost, recovery time...) I was scolded that I needed to try other options first. Understand that surgery, or its possibility, was nowhere on my radar screen when I walked in the door. I would not recommend my worst enemy come here.

Update: I'm removing a star and making it 1 Star now. They turned us over to collections without…read morenotifying us and without letting us figure out our insurance. We are still dealing with insurance. Things were coded wrong and not covered. Cynthias office does not care. My husband has called several times and every time they say they are going to call back and not once have they returned our called. They only called once to ask for payment. I told them I was worried about my job with covid and that we were still fighting with insurance and she said that was fine, she would make a note and call me back. Well she didn't call me back or make a note. That day was when she turned us over to collections. We got the letter the following week. Not only did this office miss a hairline fracture in my toe! They have been unprofessional and rude and uncaring. They left me hanging with a lot of questions. They haven't cared in the slightest about me or my foot. No call backs, no follow up, nothing. I will make sure everyone hears my story and I will steer away as many people as I can. Cynthia came highly recommended by a friend but she did not prove to be helpful or knowledgeable at all where foot injuries are concerned. Weeks of questions and waiting and an X-ray and a MRI and blood work and still no answers as to why my foot was swelling and I hadn't been able to walk on it for 2 weeks. They put me in a boot and sent me home, promising they would have a specialist look at my MRI and get back to me. Crickets. I haven't heard from them in 2 weeks. I even called and left a message. The boot they gave me helped for the first couple of days and then just exacerbated the issue. I gave up on them and went to a chiropractor. 2 visits in 48 hrs and he had answers for me. Made a brace for my toe. Did blood work and an X-ray all in his office (didn't send me all over to figure it out for myself). I have 3-6 weeks to heal but he gave me answers in 48 hrs and Cynthia and her office gave me nothing but a bunch of bills in 4 weeks. I will not recommend to anyone or go back.

Dr. Bruell is the most caring doctor I've ever been to. He is extremely knowledgeable in his field…read moreof foot and ankle care with decades of experience that he brings to the table. He genuinely cares about each and every one of his patience. He listens to their concerns and spends the time to explain everything in a way that we can understand. What I love most is that he doesn't push things on you and works with you to create a plan of healing that you're most comfortable with (most doctors try to push treatments or surgery). Dr. Bruell makes me look forward to visiting the podiatrist! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR BRUELL!

On June 26th I saw Dr. Murphy for an injury to my foot, he wanted to put me off work for a couple…read moreweeks, but he said he would give me a walking boot and see me in 2 weeks. A gentleman came in with the boot and asked me to sign a paper to bill my ins. I was a late appt. so when I got home my mom and sister, told me I could get that boot online for way cheaper than what they would charge me. So I called the next morning, never used it, they said I could not bring it back because I signed a paper stating so, but they would only take what the insurance was willing to take, they were billing my insurance $334.00 (for a 25.00 boot). They never mentioned I could not bring it back (pretty important don't you think). So sure, enough I get the bill $216.00 for the boot, I called them, told them what the girl in the office told me, and they said they would knock it down 150.00. Then 2 weeks later a guy calls and tells me I can bring it back, this was now a month and 1/2 in, I wore it because I figured I would be paying for it. He said oh you wore I will have to talk to the doctor and recieved no call back. Moral of this story is found a new Doctor who is great, let this be a warning there are people with deceptive practices out there BE CAREFUL !!!!!!!

Do not go to this doctor. I was overcharged and misdiagnosed. They charged me for two injections,…read moreat $500 a piece, which I did NOT receive. I was understanding, as this was probably an error. When I asked for this to be removed from my bill, it was denied. Their office claimed I had signed permission to get an injection and that proves that it was done. Probably some sneaky way of making money. BUT I did not receive these injections. They will charge $100 per foot to put three pieces of tape on it for strapping. I wish I was aware of this, as I could have done this myself. For x-rays, they will bill your insurance 4 times for each "type" of x-ray. I now have a $700 bill for being misdiagnosed and I feel completely mistreated. I went elsewhere and obtained a second opinion. I'm finally pain free and satisfied with the care I was given elsewhere.

The staff are the rudest, most unhelpful people I have ever dealt with. My appointment started with…read moreabout 3 receptionists not knowing what the heck they were doing. They asked me the same questions about 5 times regarding my insurance. I was in for a second opinion, so I brought my own Xrays. Their computer system was down, so they were unable to review them. I was told I would not be charged for Xrays. I was also told that I would only be paying for an office visit. The bill I got in the mail was for 16x's what I was told it would be in the office! Of course, I assumed it was an error that would be sorted out straight away. After speaking to Kimberly, who apparently thinks she is just Queen Bee, we agreed on a compromise. She told me the exact dollar amount to expect my updated bill to reflect. And suprise! My new bill was only adjusted $60. So I call again. My call was not returned. I call the next day, and Queen Bee now decides to tell me that she doesn't have the authority to make adjustments. That sure would have been nice to know when we spoke the first time. She was outwardly rude, unhelpful, and down right hateful. Her suggestion was for me to write a letter, and she would be sure to get it to the doctor. Oh, and my appointment that should have taken about an hour, took almost 4. This office is a joke. I would never trust these people with a nice pen, let alone performing surgery on me!

I went to Dr Stern years ago for orthodics and she yelled at me because I didn't pull my pant legs…read moreup in the way that she wanted. I never went back for a follow-up. I thought I'd give her another chance today, as I had an ingrown nail issue. I didn't want to wait for months for my regular doctor. The waiting room in Valpo has uncomfortable chairs with arms, which doesn't adequately accommodate my body. The receptionist refused my request for a chair with no arms, even though there were several in sight. Once in the room, Dr Stern berated me several times, from the minute she walked into the room, starting when she asked me how I clip my toenails, being a bigger woman and I'm disabled (on oxygen). I informed her that I'm still able to perform this task. No one should EVER comment on a person's weight, skinny, heavy, or in-between. The only comfort was the very nice nurse's assistant. Needless to say, I will never go back to the Valpo office (now on Cumberland) and I will NEVER go see Dr Stern again. If I could give her 0 stars I would!
