I visited this office about a year ago. I had no issues with the wait or customer service. However, I was duped out of money. I went if because my right foot was sore and there was a circular mark on my foot. I'd put some over the counter patches on my foot hoping it would clear the issue. I told this to the doctor, and I was reprimanded. He told me that it was acid, and why would I want to put acid on my foot? Instead, he took x-rays and told me the issue was that my my 2nd toe was too long and was causing too much pressure in the spot that hurt. He ordered special inserts for my shoes that cost $500+. He told me to return if the issue persisted and that surgery may be necessary. After wearing the inserts for a little over a month, the issue did persist. I went to my primary care for another issue, and while there, asked if he would look at my foot. It was a plantar wart, for which he told me I could either have him remove, or use the over the counter patches that the SPECIALIST told me I shouldn't use. I had my primary care doctor remove the wart and have had no issues since then. I have a hard time believing that a foot specialist doesn't know what a plantar wart looks like and thought the correct treatment would be shoe inserts.
