On the last visit I told him my big toe really felt painful after he removed the callous, as he was leaving his usual 5 minute visit with me. He turned around, never looking at my toe, patted my knee and told me "you will be just fine." and left. The pain was excruciating and I couldn't put weight on my left foot. I ended up 2 days later at Scripps Urgent Care where they told me I had a roaring infection brewing and put me on antibiotics and told me to soak my foot 3x daily in Epsom Salts. I also had 2 follow up visits with my PC doctor to check it a few days later where she put me on a second antibiotic. The saddest part was that two friends came from out of state to what was going to be a fun visit. I couldn't leave my house and they ended up waiting on me and we went no where because they depended on me to show them wonderful San Diego, and I couldn't walk. It took over two months to heal properly. I no longer am going there for care nor is my husband.

I have been experiencing heal pain for about 2 months. Of course like anyone I self diagnosed and…read moretried to fix it myself. Finally woke up one morning and I could hardly put any pressure on my heal. So I needed professional help. I did some research and Dr. Reingold's name came up. So I yelped his group and checked out reviews. I called them and they had an immediate opening for me (Fantastic). They must have known the pain I was in. I got there early and the receptionist was friendly and had me fill out just a bit of paperwork, nothing crazy like other places. Explained my situation with Dr. Reingold and he did a few checks on my foot and some other test and he was very thorough, friendly, hygienic and the most important part explained everything to me like I didn't know what he was talking about... hahaha - I only say this because sometimes you just get treated and a lot is not explained. He did some treatment and offered me support for my shoe, I would like to report I already feel 100 times better and with some relief in my heal. Thanks Doc for letting me enjoy the weekend!

I've seen my fair share of doctors over the years, and while "bedside manner" may sound like an…read moreoutdated phrase, Dr. Gilles truly has the best bedside manner I've ever experienced. I recently had right ankle surgery, and not only is he an exceptionally skilled physician, but his follow-up and aftercare were outstanding. He takes the time to thoroughly educate you, answers every question patiently, and makes you feel completely comfortable throughout the process. I could not recommend him more highly. And just as important -- the office staff is equally impressive. As many people know, dealing with medical office staff can sometimes be frustrating due to poor communication or lack of responsiveness. That was absolutely not the case here. Linda, the office manager, is fantastic -- an excellent communicator who helped me navigate surgery scheduling and even assisted with insurance questions. The entire experience was seamless. I'm incredibly grateful for the care I received.

I'm now six days post-PRP injection into my lumbar, and while there's still some soreness at the injection site, my daily pain level has dropped to a 1 or 2. It's early, but I'm really happy with the results so far. Dr. Derrington and his assistant, Jocelyn, are fabulous. They explained everything clearly and couldn't have been more professional and supportive throughout the process. Their office is also incredibly responsive to emails and phone calls, which makes a huge difference. I wouldn't look anywhere else for care--highly recommend!

Dr Smith is now under investigation by the CA state medical board for negligence, medical…read moremalpractice, and falling far below the minimum standard of care, placing patients at risk for amputation. He hipshot his diagnosis, electing to ignore; detailed history of infection risk, ignoring biopsy which revealed bone fragments, removing the patient from necessary antibiotic treatment, which laboratory results revealed Pseudomonas. His decisions for care random at best. When the patient advocates for their own health, he terms it as combative, in start contradiction to the laboratory, imaging, and biopsy results. He charges $650/week for less than 10 minutes effort, terming is a "deep debridement" but completely ignoring the underlying bone infection. He incredulously stated that he has to accept the imaging results, rather than to consider the high risk for the bone. His procedure area are unclean, his personal hygiene sterile. He provides no visit follow up notes, and while making a vague reference to a hospital setting he is not permitted to function to, and knows that the insurance company does not allow, he stated, in the presence of my attorney and in his Escondido office that he has so much business doing wound care, he does not need the business. I believe it is possible that his conditions introduced the infection, and refused to treat with antibiotics. He should not be allowed to treat any patients, and the State of California is investigating him for below standard practice and insurance fraud. Unfortunately I have him every latitude, but concluded that he was both malicious - regards pursuing $650/week charges, and negligent, ignoring Hx and diagnostic tests. When I went to another surgeon, I unfortunately lost 1.cm of bone. All three alternate providers said the same thing.... you cannot guess and fail to factor exposed bone and history, and due to the infectious leakage (which he refused to culture), fail to get inside the foot surgically to examine. He had the off scale arrogance and temerity to state in the presence of my attorney that "you missed 2 and almost three appointments" yet at each of those appointments (during which I sought a competent surgeon and in consult with my previous surgeon who moved his practice) refused to schedule me for surgery nor do anything but fail to recognize the osteomyelitis . Yes, I am suing him for malpractice, but what I really want is for him to be barred from practicing medicine in the State of California, to protect patients. He certainly makes a profitable business for himself, but fails the basic tenant - DO NO HARM. Based on the physical evidence, his gaslighting, I would say avoid at all cost in the waning days of his license.
