I have Rheumatoid Arthritis which has been in remission for 17 years. However, this past Spring,…read moresomething happened with the medication I'd been using, and I had some breakthrough flares, including the joints of my toes at the balls of my feet. It felt as though I was walking on marbles. Dr McMillan-Gordon did a digital scan of my feet and had customized orthotics made to accommodate the sore joints, which are working wonderfully. No more pain and I can walk comfortably again. Expensive, but worth it.

Best Podiatrist ever!!!! Love this Doc, patient wonderful bedside manner. My daughter had an…read moreingrown toenail, and she was flipping out when she heard it needed to be taken out. Dr. McMillan-Gordon was patient with her. I swear I thought he was going to kick us out of his office, yes that is how dramatic my daughter was. He just kept calm and explained to her the importance of getting this taken care of. He kept explaining to her that the pain in her head was much worse than what it actually will be. I love this doctor, of course looking back at it now it was funny but during the actual visit, i was embarrassed, but Dr didnt even make me feel bad at all.

First time and last. Just needed routine nail care for fungus. Once I didn't opt for their premium…read morelaser therapy I felt like they expended little effort in what I wanted. The best part though was when they were done grinding my fungal toenails they didn't clean off all the debris from my foot. Their response was it will just fall off. Well it did on their floor. Probably not best to have fungal debris on your floor where other patients can pick it up

Dr. Steinberg may be a real great guy, but the business end sucks. I went in for my second…read moreappointment today, only to be told that the doctor was out of town. Having blown 2 hours of work to make sure I was on time, and not having received any calls, texts or emails from the office. The person at the desk pretty much acted like it was my fault, saying that everyone was notified and that if I didn't get the message it was my fault. I repeat. There was no message. Ever. Their deal is to charge you if you don't show up, so I think my time is as valuable as theirs and I want to be reimbursed for the money I lost by taking off work. Point is. I won't be returning. I do not appreciate being disrespectEd. And if I were you I would avoid this business

I was a little skeptical of all the 5-star reviews. But after my first session with Dr. Vijayakumar…read more(aka Dr. V) today, I'm enthusiastically joining the 5-star parade. In less than 30 minutes, Dr. V listened to me, examined my foot, diagnosed the problem and fixed it. He carefully cut out some deep and very hard callouses (caused by a lot of hiking in fairly rough terrain), with the immediate result that I could walk without pain or a limp for the first time in weeks. Just as importantly, he gave me a lot of practical advice about various things I can do to prevent a recurrence. And he assured me that, if there is a recurrence, I can readily schedule another appointment with him to fix it again. I only wish all medical problems were this fixable, and all medical practitioners were this competent. Hooray for Dr. V!!! I enthusiastically recommend him for treatment of your foot problems.

Usually my dad sees Dr. Huey at the Berkeley office but I was trying to get an appointment squeezed…read morein, and they had one at this facility today! So lucky! My dad is 82 and needs his toenails clipped regularly. He missed his last appt so today his nails were super long. Dr. Huey is incredibly patient and gentle and isn't (visibly) grossed out by my dad's feet and fungus issues. The staff here are also very friendly. I love Dr. Huey's shoe collection. It's much bigger here than the Berkeley office. He says patients just keep giving him shoes. There's some beautiful glass ones, enamel, a recent one from Thailand. And he's not a shoe snob either, there's plastic wind up shoes in the collection too.

I am very disappointed with my recent experience…read more I visited Dr. Patel for treatment of a wart. She was supposed to order a medicated patch after my appointment, but it was never ordered. As a result, my condition worsened and became more painful. I called the office to request medication. The receptionist told me that Dr. Patel would send a prescription to CVS and wanted to see me again the next day. I explained that I could not come in immediately and preferred to try the medication first. I said that if it didn't work, I would schedule another appointment and pay the additional $50 co-pay. I was told that was fine. However, three days later, no prescription was sent to the pharmacy. I am still in pain and have received no follow-up. The lack of communication and follow-through has been frustrating and disappointing. When patients are in pain, timely care and basic responsiveness should not be optional. I hope the office improves its follow-up process so other patients do not experience the same issue.

If they receive a referral with an insurance that they do not take they will not call you to inform…read moreyou as a curtest. And if you call them concerning your referral they won't have any information if they don't take your insurance. For the simple fact that all traces of that referral isn't saved. Bottom line, have all of your health insurance information in hand to see if you can make an appointment regardless weather they received a referral or not. Simply don't bother asking about your referral nor take their word that they'll call you once they receive your referral. Because that call will never happen if they don't take your insurance. Heard of customer service much?!?!?! First impressions starts with the first initial call. And at that they have completely failed.

I can only agree with the previous review.....DO NOT VISIT THIS PODIATRIST!!!…read moreI had an ingrown toenail taken care of. Post procedure I had a very serious infection which lasted for several weeks which was extremely painful. Eventually I had to visit the Emergency Care Unit. They confirmed a deep infection and a possible pocket of pus under the remaining nail. They took x-rays because they suspected that the infection had gone into the bone. In the end I got 10 days of antibiotics. I was out of pocket for these treatments. There are other factors such as I did not go to the follow up appointment, this was because there was no infection at that point in time. I could not get an appointment back at Dr. Patel's office because of their restrictive office hours. In fact it was Dr. Patel's office who suggested I go to Emergency Care. I asked that Dr. Patel not bill me for the outstanding payment of $80 because I had the infection and I am out of pocket for the Emergency Care visit. Her response was "no". as a FYI....I found out afterwards that a friend of mine went to Dr. Patel as well and received poor treatment/ service. He ended up at the hospital as well with an open sore that would not heal.

She recommended inserts for my shoes for possible overpronation (when the foot rolls inward during movement), but more importantly, she showed me a simple stretch to do to address the nerve problem. I was cured that night!

First I will say I personally like Dr. Schwartz. We share a common interest in automobiles…read more However, after many years as a patient, I had to bail. I have read the other reviews and noticed descriptions of Dr. Schwartz prescribing expensive orthotics. I had the same experience. He stated up front that there would be no refund if they didn't work, and that payment would be cash or check only. They most emphatically did not work, so I bid a sad farewell to my $500. One benefit of this practice is all the car magazines in the waiting room and exam rooms. Often I would be reading one and then carefully escort it out of the office to finish at home. The very last time I was there, I asked him if I could take the one I was reading. He thought about it, then said well, it was OK if I returned it THE NEXT DAY! What? I'm gonna drive an extra 90 miles to read his magazine? There's a pile of about 50 various magazines on the table in the waiting room. Do they carefully inventory all the People, Time and Sports Illustrated magazines, or just the car stuff? Seriously, Schwartz, were you kidding? You could have used my five hundred bucks and bought about 100 damn magazines. Sorry, I will calm down now. Anyway, I could talk cars with Dr. Schwartz all day, but I was pretty disappointed and insulted about this silly magazine issue. I should have ripped it off as usual. But overall, I advise seeking another practice which is less focused on relieving you of your cash for ineffective accessories.

His billing department is awful though. Just prepare to have to explain how the insurance payments and discounts work, as they will just bill you the full amount.
