After being discharged from Swedish after my fracture, they sent me literally across the street to consult with Brent R. Wendal, a podiatrist, at the Puget Sound Foot and Ankle Center. Yes, Dr. Wendel has a bunch of letters behind his name along with many recognitions, memberships and board certifications, but a lot of people make judgment calls based on intangibles. I've never heard of or seen Dr. Wendel until the moment we met. Instantly, he felt like a good person, someone who's down to earth and also professional. His staff is also very nice and accommodating. Although there were no appointment times, Dr Wendel's assistants said I can be a walk-in and that they will be able to fit me in, which they did. They also respond quickly to e-mails or messages. There offices are open Mon-Fri from 8am-5pm, however Dr. Wendel is only in Mon-Thurs.

But Dr Berg completely put me at ease and he has a technique for numbing that's basically no worse than a few injections that feel like vaccination shots (which I should mention is NBD to me). I couldn't believe how well he did it so all of my anxiety was misplaced. He also explained everything he was doing and why. The whole time I felt like I was heard as a patient, which is basically what you want in any doctor (and in my experience so rarely see from doctors). So Dr Berg is my new podiatrist I guess. Definitely recommend, fantastic bedside manner and great technique. Nearly every doctor I've seen needs to take a page (or chapter(s)) from his book.

Dr. Huppin is now the 3rd podiatrist (at different clinics) whom I have seen for this, and my impression was that he is by far the most knowledgeable I've met so far. He explained the physiology of nails and nail growth in detail, which none of the prior podiatrists ever did. He seems to be very familiar with all the data out there about all the various treatment methods, and I felt that he gave a blunt, realistic assessment. If you think about it, podiatrists have to deal with pretty diverse issues. Understanding how to treat fungus must be a very different domain of knowledge than how to fix foot bone problems or whatever. It's possible that a podiatrist is very good at some aspect of podiatry and not as good at others.

Doctor #1: Refused to send me to Physical Therapy- said wouldn't help at all, in fact make the situation worse. Instead recommended a $600 out of pocket treatment that did zero to help. Saw another doctor at another clinic that did end up sending me to PT. PT gave me back my mobility and decreased pain. Doctor # 2: Given outdated and unnecessary paperwork to complete (according to my insurance and the UW customer service)- haven't these people bothered to check in the last 4 years what papers are in patient care packets? Called in for a serious reaction after surgery- could be blood clots they said. Then said would set up appointment for procedure to check on possible clots (their words, "possible blood clots")....still waiting....sent email asking about appointment...still waiting on response. Guess I'll be going to the ER to get this checked on then? Why put the idea of blood clots in my mind and then drop the follow-up to get me seen for this life threatening condition? Customer representatives when you call into the clinic are rude, curt and useless. When I have been in the waiting room, have heard them taking about patients, mocking them and making fun. Shame on you making fun of sick people in pain.

The Good Feet Store located in Lynwood Washington is an epic store because the staff is extremely…read moreskilled and friendly, and they really go the extra mile to help you feel better. They're NOT the type to pressure you into getting something that you don't need just to get that extra money. They literally are very helpful, and carefully pay attention to your issues with your feet and overall skeletal system. I have very flat feet, and always have had issues walking with a lot of pain on my feet and knees that made me feel miserable, so based on the TV commercials I decided to give them a try, not to mention that my daughter have been using these insoles for almost a year, and she feels way better. From the minute I walked into the store and was cheerfully greeted by Jon, I knew that I was gonna get the best care possible to get better. He directed me to sit in a chair with a nice cushion, and promptly set a foot massager for me to put my feet on and asked me about my issues with my feet, and based on what I told him he immediately explained the different types of special insoles which there are 3 different kinds ( straightening, maintenance, and relaxing), and put them inside my shoes to walk around the store to try the difference with and without the insoles, and from the minute I tried them on I felt a major difference, I actually didn't notice any pain walking around and my posture got better. I also got a pair of shoes that my podiatrist recommended for me to get, and low and behold everything came into place. I feel this is a major investment that definitely will make me feel better. I noticed how my daughter got better by using these insoles and I'm glad I went to The Good Feet Store. I highly recommend them to family and friends. A big shout out to Jon for being so helpful and kind. He's a major asset to The Good Feet Store. Thank you so much!!

I wondered: Why the low rating (~3 star) on Yelp, but a near-5 on Google?…read more First, and most importantly, this is not a place to go for a $50 off-the-shelf insole. The majority of negative reviews on Yelp are centered around either being expensive or no refunds. Let me address both and why I think those people were unhappy; 1. Expensive - Yes, you get "$5 worth of plastic out of it". But you also got a lot of the team's time, a guarantee for a lifetime of replacements and adjustments (1), and an ability to gain support now globally. 2. No refunds - You're buying a service, not just a product. They were exceedingly (painfully) clear with me there was no refunds. There was no possible way I could have assumed otherwise. Not only from the sales person's telling me, there's more than adequate signage, including at and behind the counter Second, the service. I was one of the many fortunate folks to have Karma help me. If there's anyone better, I'd be shocked! I explained this was a very critical purchase for me and it can't be wrong. I just completed a YEAR of Physical Therapy due to having the wrong insoles. She was NOT phased, nor intimidated, and definitely compassionate and patient. My feet are finally happy, I need them to STAY that way now! =D Lastly, overall product. I just picked them up yesterday, so will take some time to know if they work or not. They certainly FEEL right (feel nearly identical to when the podiatrist 'fixed' my $70 off-the-shelf insoles, recommended by another podiatrist I had seen 10y earlier, by adding foam to certain spots... a thing that enabled me to spend a year in PT actually healing versus continuing to damage my feet. I saw this as a very promising sign. Combine that with the multiple existing customers getting free support in the short time I was there? Sold. (1) - While I was getting fitted, 4 various customers also got served. They came in asking for replacement insoles or adjustments, and they were all very very happy, nice people who seemed quite content years later

This may sound dramatic, but Trevor and the staff here have literally changed my life. After six years of two right knee surgeries, knee instability, chronic pain, and over a half dozen physical therapists in three states from high school, college, to now, Stride Physio helped me turn everything around. After ten months, today was my last session. Six years ago I completely blew out my right knee skiing off a jump: ACL tear, grade III MCL tear, and meniscus tear. I had a surgery, went through intense athletics-based PT within the Stanford University collegiate training program, and went to college elsewhere and played an NCAA sport. I had instability, chronic pain, and was in constant fear for five years. One year ago I was playing pickle ball and blew out my right knee again. ACL and meniscus tear. I was devastated, and they told me I already had arthritis in my knee at 21. I had another ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair, and the procedure was not pretty, they had to do more since my knee was in such bad shape, and they found the previous surgery was not as good as it could've been. I moved to Seattle and found a PT in SLU, but they weren't as good as I wanted them to be, so then I came to Stride in August of 2022. I saw Trevor and he has helped me recover for the last ten months. The 1:1 focus, knowledge, and care at Stride is unmatched, and Trevor is so incredibly professional, casual, and kind. All of the therapists help each other and constantly are trying to improve, and the front desk staff were very kind to me. It is such a positive, healthy, and encouraging environment. Stride felt like a second home to me, and would always turn my day around. Many times I'd have a terrible and discouraging day, but I would walk in and be warmly greeted by the front desk staff and have a productive session with Trevor, and I would come home feeling amazing. The depth of knowledge that all of the therapists have is incredible, and the attention to detail and respect for the patient's needs is above and beyond. They somehow strike the perfect balance of pushing you to your potential, while ensuring you aren't in too much pain and respecting your body's needs and limits. The equipment they have is adequate and they have everything you'll need. They have a large range of treatments from soft-tissue massage to cupping to squatting in their gym. They even offer yoga on Thursdays. The billing is clear, and the system they use for at-home exercises is effective. Now, I am biking 50+ miles, hiking, running, and signed up for a triathlon in August. My knee feels stronger than it has since before my first tear back in 2018, and my mental health is better than it's been in a long time. I have Stride to thank for all of this. If you are looking for a physical therapist, don't even think, just come to Stride, you won't regret it.
