After both procedures I walked out without any pain, crutches or issues. Everyone I met (from the receptionist, nurses, doctors, etc) were all very professional and friendly, although Samantha Sklar was my favorite! I had no insurance issues as I was told up front what my insurance covered and what portion I would have to pay depending on my deductible. I would highly recommend Foot First to anyone needing a bunionectomy or any type of toe shortening surgery. 4-22-19 Update: For those that have asked, it's been three years later and I am still happy with my results and the surgery. Every years that goes by my feet look prettier and prettier. The only complication was me having to go back to get one my screws removed on one foot bc it was bothering me. The screen in my other foot is still in place.

Called in the morning after experiencing my 5th day of foot pain in the joint of my big toe. They got me in at 1pm same day. Super nice efficient staff. Filled out the forms in my phone. Went in got X-rays on my foot to check for breaks or a sprain. X-ray looked good. I was diagnosed with gout by Dr Khan. Prescribed steriod and acid reducer. Got a handicap form to take to the DMV and blood test order to check levels of uric acid. Got my blood work inside the hospital. Went across the street to Walgreens to get my prescription. 6 hours later my pain level went down to 10% of what it was. Writing this review next morning and I have zero pain. This was the best experience from start to finish as far as dealing with a medical issue and I'm going to be 50 this July so I have had plenty of experiences. Highly recommend and the office is inside the hospital and free valet parking is available. Photos are before and after seeing the doctor. The after is the very next morning.

Friendly staff, and useful (though incomplete) information through to total knee replacement…read moresurgery. PT staff helpful, but only after having continued knee issues did I realize there was very little analysis or review of my personal situation, and those issues (I believe) not considered during surgery. Also information after surgery not as thorough as before surgery. Would have been nice to know what can or can't be done with replacement - like you're not supposed to run with knee replacement, can you kneel on the replacement, and what I was originally told " you will be able to return to normal activity in three months" can change to " it takes up to a year to heal" when the replacement does not go as expected. I still hold out hope with PT and working out, my knee issues will resolve. Plan on losing 3-6 months to a year of your life recovering before returning to normal activities. It's not an easy surgery.

I went for an ingrown toenail and had my boyfriend drive me, for his sake I asked him to stay in the car. I got to the exam room and once I asked about permanent removal they went looking for the solution and never found it after making me wait 10+ minutes. They told me they'll do a removal and did, but if I wanted a permanent one I'd have to come back again and pay again. WHO would be okay with this? After I waited in the office with getting handed some directory papers for cleaning by the nurse and waited for someone since no one had said anything. I waited 20 MINUTES and had the hop to the front desk for help and the desk lady looks like she doesn't wanna help, didn't care and asked out loud "can someone help her" without even looking at me. Eventually a nurse came and asked what was wrong, and I thought I'd be getting a surgical shoe since I've gotten one before with no fee. The nurse asked another nurse and that nurse asks the doctor. 5 minutes waiting there the doctors comes back to me standing on one foot in the hallway with other patients walking by. I told them I thought I'd get a surgical shoe and no one told me if I could leave. She said "I never give out surgical shoes" and I corrected her with she did the last time I was there. She then says "Well, I usually don't give out surgical. I then said forget it since she wanted me to pay and I walked out without a word and second appointment. I've never felt so disgraced upon.
