Our first appointment he checked my feet and showed me how to use KP to tape it right up. I also a toenail and had a blood blister on another from a hike before I went to see him. He helped take care of the blood blister and prescribed something to help my toes grow back. From there, he did an ultrasound to see how tight everything was and recommended me to a physical therapist. He also fitted me for custom insoles that I can wear with any shoe. I just went in for my annual follow-up today and ordered more insoles. His staff is also phenomenal! From the receptionist to his medical staff, everyone is so welcoming and lovely. Definitely recommend coming here if you need a podiatrist!

This is about the care my 14 year old received. She had 2 very bad ingrown toenails that the…read moredoctor cut a lot off of. He sent us home with instructions for cleaning and OTC pain meds. When the numbing medication wore off she was in a tremendous amount of pain. Nothing we did would relieve it. I called the office and found they didn't have any way to reach their office nights and weekends...they did procedures and didn't even call to see how my daughter did after having a very painful procedure done. I do NOT recommend .

Only one person has called me back, however, she didn't actually make the appointment. She was supposed to call me back, I believe she was looking for a sooner one. (I actually had that appointment penciled in!) Not a word. I agree, I should follow up as well, but I have had a devastating month and have failed to "follow up" on a few things. If someone is going to be making suggestions as to best treat my spine, I want to get not only 2, but 3 opinions! The other is lined up just fine, completely different facility. They called me right away. Now it will be months before I can get into Proliance. It was actually down the same week, two days before the one at the other place. My phone updated and I lost many notifications and appointments, but it was definitely down! Now they have no record of it. Just great.

He spent too much time non-educative time in isolation in the Seattle Public Schools and did not learn new skills to help him regulate himself or interact with others. I spent most of every school day at his Seattle elementary school trying to help him get his school work done in his self-contained classroom. The Children's Institute has been a life-saver in terms of allowing him a safe place to learn these skills as well as move on academically. They are able to accept him the way he is and have never called me to come and get him. If he does have outbursts, they are able to staff to allow time for someone to spend time with him out of the classroom without putting him by himself in the "quiet room" Plus, he loves it there! I highly recommend this school if your child is not doing well in a traditional public school due to emotional/behavioral differences.
