He said "we'll see if they go away" Wants to now charge me 450 dollars to remove the rest. I'm not paying double for his incomplete job.

After years of suffering from ingrown toenails, I finally decided to see a podiatrist. But which…read moreone? There's more than a hand full to choose from and no reviews to help in the decision process. Thus my reason for this review. The Foot First facility here is clean and they have a wealth of information of all types of foot & ankle problems in the waiting room. My first visit was pleasant, the staff is professional, courteous and thorough. Total wait time was only about 10 minutes, then I was led into a bright and extra clean exam room. Dr. Leib was great, he came in and within a few minutes knew what he had to do and then explained to me what he was going to do. Unfortunately, I had more than one ingrown toenail so that would mean multiple visits. The procedure was quick and virtually painless. They gave me all the supplies I would need for after care, except for the wound dressing. But it wasn't expensive, it is all natural and works great. He instructed me to soak my feet once a day in water and vinegar, another all natural treatment! I suspect Dr. Leib doesn't write many prescriptions, he believes in all natural cures where warranted. My second visit was just as pleasant and painless and I look forward to seeing him again in two weeks. In fact I look forward to having Dr. Leib and the Foot First staff my only foot care professional for any of my foot care needs. Their the best!

I noticed I got 1 wart on the bottom of my left foot and 2 warts on the bottom of my right foot…read more The 1 wart on my left foot started paining so I decided to stop by the Chicago Foot Care Clinic and have Dr. Thimesch check them out. This practice does not accept Medicaid and unfortunately that is the medical coverage I currently have so I had to pay from my pocket for my treatment. For the initial consult I paid $150 where Dr. Thimesch looked at the warts and explained what they were and the fact that they have to be removed via laser treatment. A week later the staff of Dr. Thimesch got me on the schedule for laser treatment. On the day of the laser treatment I paid $525 and was called in shortly to receive anesthesia via a syringe around the warts so my feet would temporary loose sensation for the laser treatment. The Anesthesia Injections were painful - my left wart area needed anesthesia more than the right side due to the location of the wart. The treatment went smoothly and my wounds are in the healing process - Dr. Thimesch and his team did a great job! After the surgery the staff wrapped my feet up and dressed the wounds with the medical socks for easier management of the wounds. I was told not to shower, stay off my feet as much as possible and the possibility of the wounds bleeding due to the depth of the incisions. About 24 hours later I have had very minimum pain thanks to the antibiotic which was prescribed by Dr. Thimesch and Tylenol. Dr. Thimesch called me yesterday as well to follow up which was nice and to see if I have any questions - great customer care! This morning the staff called me as well to see how I was doing as well! Very amazing customer service from the Doctor and his staff. I have my follow ups for the next 6-8 weeks so Dr. Thimesch can clean my wounds and make sure my wounds are healing well. Definitely recommend this clinic to all Chicago Public for amazing care and service. 5/5

When they pitch you orthotics (and they will), make sure you get a second opinion to be certain you…read moreneed them before they bully you into paying. They were fully aware I had bunion surgery and 6 toes were fractured and they STILL sold me orthotics saying they were "good practice" to keep my toes from moving. A few weeks later I was in unbearable pain. They were unresponsive to phone, portal messages, and email, they waited until I went back into the office. And then they were all, "Oh yeah, you shouldn't wear orthotics if there was a fracture." But they were "custom-made" so they refused to refund me. It's a scam. Run away as fast as you can. Go somewhere else.

I am a runner and I went to Dr. Nichols as a refferal from my family doctor. My experience has been…read moreterrible. The first visit I went, Dr. Nichols said I had a neuroma.He injected my foot with cortisone, without asking my if I wanted the injection or discussing what the injection was even for. It was very painful! He used a 2" long needle that went between my toes and through my foot. The worst part is, my foot now had ANOTHER pain for a week and a half from the shot. It did not help at all but made my pain worse! The bill for the shot that I didn't even ask for was $140!!! And he acted like it would cost nothing and forced me to get it when we were one-on-one in the patient room. I went back to Dr. Nichols a month later complaining of the same foot pain. He still thought it was a neuroma, and said to look and see if my insurance would pay for custom orthotics (otherwise $800). He had no real answer or diagnosis for me, even after taking X-Rays. Two weeks later, I went to a Sports Medicine doctor in the Cadance physician group. He said that I most definitely did not have a neuroma as Dr. Nichols said, but that my issue was metartarsalglia. He told me where to get a ball of the foot pad that would support my big toe up while I was running extra long distances. It has worked! And now I'm able to run 10 + miles without pain! My experience with Dr. Nichols definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. Seeing a specialist isn't cheep! And then they stabbed me with another $140 bill!. Awful.

I had seen 4 other Dr's prior . He took a x-ray of my foot in December then another one in April , not even 6 months apart . After getting the 2nd x-ray in his building I had an appointment to go over the x-rays . This was to be my last visit prior to an early May surgery . After comparing the two x-rays he told me I had a significant amount more arthritis in my big toe compared to the first one and that I needed two surgeries now . I was shocked to hear this . I asked him to show me on the screen the comparison between the two . I had a hard time believing in such a short time I would have so much more arthritis . When I ask to see , he looked at me and told me I was being difficult and would not show the comparison . At that point he stood up and told me he's not going to do the surgery and STORMED out of the room slamming the door behind him ! I sat there in disbelief of what just happened ! He was acting like a 2 year old that didn't get his way ! I should thank him for showing his true colors and not doing the operation . I cringe to think this unhinged Dr would cut me open .

My initial experience with Dr. Keyes was good, the procedures are easy and the healing time…read moreminimal. Fast forward a couple years later though and the results of the procedure are devastating. Cosmetic foot surgery is not cheap and my goal was to feel confident wearing open toed shoes. My second toe was quite a bit longer than my first toe and I had developed corns from my long toes rubbing on shoes over the years. I had my second and third toes on both of my feet shortened as well as corns removed. The second toes where cut at the main knuckle to be shortened and the third toes were cut on the knuckle closer to the toenail. The length is now great and all 4 toes are shorter, however, My second toe has a definite bend where it was cut, is turning away from the big toe and curls completely under to the point where I step on my toenail. I have sought second and third opinions and each doctor has told me that this is the direct result of the doctor cutting at the main knuckle of the long toe instead of the smaller knuckle that is closer to the toe nail. When I reached out to doctor Keyes he said it had nothing to do with the surgery and must have been due to the way I was taping my toes after the surgery. Which he, himself showed me to do when I started to see early signs of the toes not being straight. He did not even offer me a free consultation in the office as he wanted another charged office visit to consult on the results I had. He was happy to do an email consult and offered me to set up another series of chargeable visits to discuss how I could pay for him to correct the issues I as having as a result of the toe shortening surgery he performed. I have since had two "free" consultations from other Podiatrists that perform toe shortening procedures and both advised me that the results I have are indeed a direct result of where Dr. Keyes cut the toe to shorten it. Because of his total lack of accountability and willingness to help fix the botched results I will be forced to file a malpractice suit. Please go elsewhere if you are considering toe shortening procedures.
