In a past (years ago, around 2018) appointment Dr. Wilkes was great even spotted a hairline fracture that was missed by hospital. But, more recent with that of last year 2024 he was totally different and staff was treating me as a criminal. Doctor C. Wilkes said my insurance wouldn't cover anything but the visit as I was double insured and to get examined would be extra, he started talking about something that sounded like quackery with lazers measuring my foot for insoles that would cost around $300.00, he then wanted me to purchase insoles sold at the site which were $50.00 and I believe I seen them online for a cheaper price...when in the past having the same insurance, it covered there custom insoles on which a meld was made. Today, in 01/2025 I saw another Doctor at his site and she examined my feet, stated there's no hidden fees and gave a splint of some type, with further recommendations and follow up...I did buy there insoles, out of pocket which I wrote a personal check for and they took forever it seemed like to cash it, will also note the price went up from $50.00 to $60.00 and thought, I heard slander/gossip by staff and the other Doctor who saw me- as that with my medical condition of Anxiety/P.T.S.D. -Against the UNRUH Act. (also, denying service on past visit and knowing of my condition of Anxiety/P.T.S.D., diagnosed for P.T.S.D. around 2014 and Anxiety before that to which has been reaffirmed by many other licensed professionals since then, as my diagnosis would be in my chart too-then discussion of such is against HIPPA and "expectations of privacy" if near front reception, then I also been a paying resident in Folsom, CA for about a 1 year 1/2 with no roomies and having my Real-CA Drivers License-being born/raised in CA-USA as a straight-male Caucasian that such should be in my file as well-even a yearly fishing license, to show I'm no vaggrant-and having a bank account I had for 17 years with other credit cards all in good standing and solely in my name-no reloadable or giftcards) and slander 28 USC 4101 to even Fed. Statute: 18 USC: 245- 1.) b. & 2.) b. .

See all

The Dr I saw was awesome. Talked to me about other issues I was dealing with. When I went back for follow up visit, she even asked about my daughter read more

I brought my 10 year-old-daughter to the office to help address ankle pain she would experience during during dancing and soccer practices. Dr. assessed and recommended inserts. Used laser measurements etc... and we had custom insteps made for my girl. I had a concern about them fitting for a whole year and I was told the insoles would be good for another 2 or 3 shoe sizes. Paid $500+ out of pocket.... The inserts did not fit after about 3 or 4 months. He had cut so much material from the inserts to fit the shoes she was in that day the edges of the inserts cut into her toes and slid around in her other shoes. Maybe we can get this fixed? Called the office. Nope, 60-day warranty. Sorry!!! I felt I was told something very different when I was deciding to make the purchase (Ill put that on myself for not requesting something in writing). So I wish I could say that was the end of it. I keep getting a bill for an additional $450. Numerous calls to work it out with the office but they are extremely quick to tell you that they dont have anything to do with the billing. So I call the Athena Health.... they weren't taking care of it....another 3rd party biller and finally they realized their mistake and would correct it immediately. Trying to double bill me and the insurance provider. 8 months later the same conversation happens. Oh our mistake we will fix it immediately. Still getting emails and letter to PAY UP. Overall. Id steer clear of this practice. read more

Dr. Eunice Cho was absolutely friendly, caring and super medically resource when I developed Drop foot. I was filled with fear that the longer my Drop foot went untreated the less likely it would be to recover normally. I was struggling with finding availability to have a Nerve conduction test. Every Neurologist was booking 6-8 weeks out. Dr. Cho insisted that was too long and made immediate arrangements for me to be seen within 3 days by a Neurologist whom their office uses regularly. Now, I have a better chance at walking without extra supports. This is a life changer Paula Davis read more

Don't believe the hype on Craig Wilkes. I cannot think of one good thing to say about him. I'm really confused as to how he gets such good reviews. He is rude, dismissive, and has a horrible bedside manner. Keep looking if you want a GOOD podiatrist. read more

My overall experience with this doctor was awful. He was rude, unprofessional, uncaring, and outright disrespectful. I asked him a question about my toes and he replied, "what a wired question to ask." He put me down every time I made a comment or asked questions about my concerns over my toes. He is a very despicable person. read more

Decided to have my bunion removal surgery and chose Dr. Wilkes based on his expertise in foot and ankle care. I am 5 days post surgery and am glad I did it. I hope to walking again without pain very soon !!! read more

Craig A Wilkes, DPM - Left foot post bunion surgery 5 days ago. - Podiatrists Near Me - Folsom, California

Friendly enough, however misdiagnosed pain on 2nd metatarsal (thought it was bone) and guided towards cortisone shot. 6 months later ruptured tendon where shot had compromised tissue. read more

My husband had surgery scheduled but unfortunately tested positive for Covid 3 days before so surgery cancelled. BUT No one at Dr. Wilkes office contacted him with this news or to tell him surgery cancelled Nor did hospital where Covid test was done. So we got up 4:30 am morning of surgery & showed up at Mercy Folsom where we found out surgery cancelled. I would not recommend anyone to go to this highly inefficient office. Surgery scheduler should be fired! read more

Dr.Wilkes is very caring understanding.Love that he personally calls you back after hours.Explaining everything so I could understand it. Ever confident in his ability to fix my ankle. The front desk was excellent read more

After he heard my story he asked me what I was doing there. This is after I had an X-ray that had diagnosed me having 3 bones in the top of my right foot that were broken. I felt like he thought I was a joke. He put me in a boot and that was it. read more

They always seam to fit me in to the schedule on the spur of the moment , even the sectarian who call me back has so much compassion for what pain I'm going through each and every dr here is very professional and extremely helpful, thank you Joan Pennebaker Herren read more

Bribing patients for positive reviews seems pretty sleazy, especially for a place with long waits for appointments and short, late doctor visits. If you are in pain now, consider other options for faster diagnosis and treatment. read more

Craig A Wilkes, DPM - Bribing patients for positive reviews seems pretty sleazy. - Podiatrists Near Me - Folsom, California

Met with Dr Wilkes today he did a great job His office and staff are very friendly and helpful thank you my feet feel better already read more

Great experience! Knew exactly what was wrong when I described my pain. I felt confident that he knew what he was doing and he was also quick to figure it out. read more

I was not impressed at all. I have a bone spur on my heel which is causing tendinitis on my Achilles. I haven't walked correctly for over 6 months due to the pain. I have done stretching, ice, and physical therapy. Nothing has worked even a little. I got an MRI which showed the issue. Went to this office and met with the doc. He hadn't even looked at my MRI or knew I had one. After the exam he gave me some options, one of which wasn't covered by insurance. I felt like I was being up-sold and not taken seriously. This doc may be good for bunions but I wouldn't go if you have a real foot issue. I will find an orthopedic doc that can actually help me. Also, any docs office that puts signs up all over saying they will pay $10 for a good review on google isn't worth seeing in my book. read more

The medical assistant Emily was really rude, she treat me like shitty. She talks unprofessionally and rude

Office staff is very friendly and very efficient. Dr Cho is great and really listens to your concerns! Would highly recommend this place!

I have been coming to Dr Wilke's office since December 2019. I first came in to have an ulcer on my foot treated that had been a problem since July. While treating me I ended up rupturing both of my achilles tendons. Between both Dr Wilkes and Dr Monson I have received excellent care and soon should be back to normal. I would fully recommend this office for any foot care required. read more

Dr. Wilkes has a great bedside manner and is down to earth. He has always been on time and his staff are friendly. He really helped me with my heel pain. read more

I have been seeing Dr Wilks for a Morton's Neuroma. He and his staff have been very helpful in educating me about the best way to handle/fix this condition. The staff including the front desk are always welcoming and friendly never rushed. I would highly recommend Dr Wilks with your feet issues read more

I'd give this, another, 'run-of-the mill' doctor zero stars if I could. Anything that is a complex foot injury, stay away, he didn't know what to do. At first, he comes across like he actually cares about your injury, but soon, you're another number that he doesn't even remember the last time you were in. I've been dealt a bad break with severe foot/ankle arthritis that materialized over time from old baseball injuries. I've had 3 'failed' mid-foot fusions that led to septic osteomyelitis and almost losing my leg (allergic to metal). I had all metals removed from my foot/ankle and had an external fixator to try and 'fuse' the bones to fix the arthritis, but that failed too. I was desperate for any help with the pain and knew I couldn't have any more surgeries that involved metal. I got recommended to look at Dr. Wilkes based on his supposedly 'minimally evasion' techniques he claims to be an expert at. Cutting to the chase, I started seeing him last November '21 and the first visit went great. He seemed to actually care, and said he would put a 'game plan' together to help me the pain relief. In that first visit, I brought in all my medical records and he acknowledged that no more 'invasive metal' surgeries could take place (fusing of the ones). He had me get an MRI then see him again in December '21. I went and did this, and the results were even worse; 4 badly arthritic joints and 3 completely torn ligaments. I had a specially made AFO being done by a another orthopedic, that was built into my tennis shoe so he told me to just wear that and see how it goes. I went to Dr. Wilkes for no other reason but to talk about his 'minimally evasive' approaches that I felt would be a great game plan along with the brace. I asked about the likes shock, laser, stem/palettes injections, etc. to help with the extremely bad pain. So, he said to see him again in 6 weeks and he'd have a 'game plan'. I scheduled the next appointment for early January '22. After waiting almost an hour, he had to remember my injury and 'game plan', which he had not done. So, I went over it again, in depth, to the point where he brought in another intern doctor who he wanted me to tell my story about the surgeries (net, do everything possible, before getting invasive surgeries). Then, he gave me a cortisone shot and said he'd put together the 'game plan' and see him in 6 weeks. I would not have scheduled another appointment with him, at this point, but he said he would a 'game plan' for my pain that I originally went to see him. So, 7 weeks later, late February '22, I waited again for almost an hour. I had expected a 'game plan' by this time, and he came in and said 'you'll have pain the rest of of your life, that your joints & ligaments will never repair, and your only solution is the brace'. What!! Every question I asked him to get details he seemed to get more irritated. I know my foot/ankle injuries way more then he does & he basically started to scold me about the details of my questions (another way off saying I have no answer). Then he went off about a cortisone shot which I never even asked for, saying he can't do that but only 2-3 times a year and lecturing me on cortisone shots; whatever. I asked him about his 'game plan' and 'minimally evasive' approaches and he blew them off again and said to get them elsewhere. Finally, he said perhaps you should get 'invasive' surgery again, and to go to UC Davis. I wasted 3 months going to this guy. I'm extremely picky about my podiatrists/orthopedics, and I'm mad at myself for believing this one. I've had enough orthopedic's and podiatrist's to know this guy was just like the others. Starts out ok and seemly cares, then puts you in a queue, not remembering anything about your last visits and chalks you up as 'see me again as needed'. Believe me, I have extremely complex foot/ankle injuries and he just basically punted like the others. Wasted time and money!! It is so hard to find a good podiatrist or orthopedic who really cares about you and what you are going through. From after doing a surgery, time to recover from a surgery, and post recovery. Dr. Wilkes is just another one of those; talks a good game but no answers how to fix your injuries. Not recommending him at all! Get multiple recommendations on these type of 'specialized' doctors because they are so hard to find good ones. From the two who did my surgeries to the two I've tried to get 'different' type of help to relieve the bad surgeries pain level. Your foot and ankle are not something to mess around with. I would look at the UC's Medical Centers first (ie UC Davis, UCLA, Stanford, etc). I have another highly recommended one at UC Davis, and I guess I'll see. This time, the first visit will tell all, but with all 'lessons learned' I will do all my homework first. Oh read more

The doctors in this practice actually listen to your concerns and have solutions. As a dance teacher my feet work hard every day.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Wilkes today. He was very personable and took care of my problems with professional skill. I'm quite happy to recommend his office. read more

Came into the office for foot pain and paid a $30 copay. Saw Dr. Craig Wilkes assistant. Told her I had pain in the center bottom of my foot that felt like a Charlie Horse. She stated whenever she hears Charlie Horse pain in the foot that means low Magnesium in the body. I then went to the lab and had blood work and my magnesium levels were normal. I tried to get a refund of my copay due to being misdiagnosed and the office stated, "Well you did get seen." I stated, "Correct but my issue was not resolved and I had no issues with my magnesium levels." The office was rude and refused to reimburse my copay. I then went and saw a real podiatrist at Dignity Health, Dr. Jeremy Evans at 3000 Q St fl 4, Sacramento, CA 95816. He laughed when I told him what Dr. Craig Wilkes office told me about my magnesium levels. He stated he never heard of such a thing and has been a podiatrist for over 20 years. He then told me my foot pain was due to plantar fasciitis. The doctor gave me daily stretches and told me to ice my foot daily. He also then told me to have some custom shoe inserts made which I did and then I purchased some Hoka shoes and my pain went away. It definitely helps to go see the right doctor. Saves you money, time and pain. read more

I had an ingrown toenail that was stuck under my skin. I couldn't run and it would hurt to walk. I saw Dr. Monson, he was so patient and numbed me up that visit and removed the ingrown nail. I'm a baby with pain and the his assistant was also so sweet, she stayed in the room to keep me calm. About two weeks later I was back running pain free. No issues since. It has been almost a year and my nail has healed up nicely. read more

So not impressed. All I needed was new orthodics and UC Davis referred my to Dr. Wilkes office. I went in for an exam only to be told they would need to get insurance approval. Made an appt for two weeks later and the day of, they called to cancel the appt because they hadn't received approval. They then sent me a no-show appt bill for $25. It took them two months to get the ins approval. Another visit and 4 months after my initial appt I got the orthodics. They are the worst. The material sticks to my socks so they get bunched up at the bottom of my foot. I have had them for over a month and on my run yesterday, gave me a blister. Tempted to just throw them out and head to the good feet store. read more

I believe Dr Monson has an excellent skill in communicating the surgery process. It has been sometime since last seen since Covid and he remembers personally about my concerns with surgery. The whole office team is professional and caring. I highly recommend the Folsom office I personally had an appointment with. read more

Dr. Wilkes started off as a pleasant helpful Podiatrist. I have a very severe bunion and I was happy to find him, "at first!" He is an expert from what I hear but when an office clerical error is made he blames the insurance 100%! I had this surgery scheduled for 3 months. I took time off work, hired a nanny for 2 weeks. 4 days before my surgery I was told my insurance denied it. Obviously I called my insurance and they said it was submitted incorrectly. The x-rays were submitted but the required angles were not documented. And it was submitted as an in patient but scheduled as an out patient. This could of been an easy fix but Dr. Wilkes or his staff failed to answer the request for a peer to peer assessment conversation. Dr. Wilkes insisted my insurance is ALL at fault and there's nothing he can do. Yet he wouldn't even give them a call. My insurance is United PPO, a top of the line. He had just got back from a long vacation so I think he just didn't have time to deal w me. I became an annoying number to him. He is still charging me 376$ in fees when he wouldn't even do his part! Im going to dispute the bill! The other doctors in the practice I hear are great, just not Dr. Wilkes. read more

Finding a new podiatrist is sometimes a challenge, and let's face it, feet are important. Fortunately my wife and I found Dr. Monson in the Craig Wilkes Podiatry office. He was a good listener, explained things well, and did a procedure on my wife that turned out great! read more

Excellent Doctor!! He was very informative, and friendly! I will definately go back. The office staff was very professional and I felt like I was taken care of really well. read more

Excellent, Dr. Spends time and makes sure he resolves the issue. I was able to get in with short notice. Dr. suggested some over the counter solutions which saved money. read more

I saw Dr Munson who was very kind and explained all my options for my ingrown toe nail. My friend had just had her nail taken care of by someone else and said afterwards it was extremely painful. The Doctor explained my options and said to let me know if I had any discomfort and was surprised that I had none. At all. Even the laser afterwards was no pain. Very helpful and he removed a chunk out of my toe and I had relief immediately. And they got me in the next day. Very convenient. The staff was also very pleasant. read more

I experience a terrible fall at home, and hurt my foot and ankle pretty bad. I was referred to Dr Wilkes. He and his staff have been very kind, knowledgeable, and extremely professional. I also saw Dr Monson and he was terrific as well. I am on the road to recovery, and am grateful for their help along the way. Thanks!!! read more

Dr. Wilkes performed a bunionectomy on each of my feet and did so flawlessly - from the physical to the mental spectrum of this particular procedure he kept me strong, stable, and comfortable. Each visit I would write down questions I had (as the unknown can be quite intimidating); however, those concerns would be addressed and answered before it even came time for me to ask at the end of the appointment. Him and his staff were more than accommodating and handled my case as if it was one of a friend or family member. I highly recommend this office as it will not disappoint! read more

This office is inept. I had orthotics ordered which cost $250 and are no better than what I purchased at Big 5 for $30. They were supposed to get back to me to make a return appointment when the orthotics came in, but failed to do so, After many weeks past the time the orthotics were to be back, I made an appointment myself and came in and in the office visit, when I informed them I was there to get my orthotics...they did not have a clue about that. After a few minutes of checking they found them, but as you see...they have no idea what is going on. No matter if you are on time, they will be late coming in the room to see you. When you pay, it will not be accounted for properly. I just received a bill again today for two visits that I paid for already, one being a month and a half ago! I have now paid for one visit twice, and they owe me the second payment back again. And they have no clue. Inept. And on top of this, when I paid the last bill, in person, with a debit card...the woman at the window asked for my pin number because the keypad for you to enter your pin was not long enough to reach the window. What?! Why is it tied off short at the right of her keyboard? Who tells other people their pin number when paying for something? Who in this day would have an office receiving payments operate this way? I had to go in the actual office area and stretch to reach the pin pad to input my number as I was not going to expose it some other way. The doctor was okay. The office...inept. read more
