    Dr. MELISSA HILL! I can't speak to the other doctors at this location, but I've seen her 3x and…read moreshe's FABULOUS. I really USE Yelp reviews and read them carefully because I really want to know WHY you like a doctor (it is just cuz you think he has "dreamy blue eyes" or is it more?) SO...HERE'S WHY I LIKE DR HILL: 1. I'm 67, fit, active -- walker, runner (not "serious" -- walk/run 2-3 miles 4-6x a week -- swimmer in summer and Fuel Fitness). I have hard plastic orthotics that I've worn for THIRTY YEARS. I assumed, when I first visited Dr. Hill, that my feet have changed over the past 30 (!) years and the orthotics would need to be replaced (not cheap, totally necessary). In other words, 30-yr old orthotics were an engraved invitation to "sell me" new orthotics. Dr. Hill held them to the bottom of my feet and said "well, these still look fine..." I'm not an untrusting person -- but THAT inspired trust! 2. She is a real "problem solver." She doesn't just reach up to her mental shelf and pull off a pre-formulated answer. She really listens and THINKS. And she's very clear, plain-spoken and practical. I have spent $2500 out of pocket (after insurance payments) trying to find out what is causing pain in my right ankle and base of my toes on right foot. 3 x-rays. 3 visits to EmergeOrtho (I could write an essay -- but let me just say I will NEVER EVER return to them -- waste of money. One doctor would contradict the next!) Visited Duke Sports -- and 3 Physical Therapy visits, who said it was tendonitis and only PT exercises would help, over a long time. Exercises DID seem to help -- but still definitely "something not right" and I've been scared to run and scared to do a lot of walking for fear I might cause some kind of real damage. 3. Dr. Hill heard my tale...took xrays. Said "I think what's going on here is complex." Said legs are likely aching due to: 1. my venous insufficiency (wear those compressions socks!). 2. Looks like I don't put the normal amount of pressure on my big toe -- causing the 2 next to it to be bearing more -- getting sore. 3. The two toes next to my big toe slant a bit towards the bit toe. Narrows the gap between the bones on both those toes, possibly somewhat pinching all the things that run between those bones. Said the hard plastic orthotics can sometimes cause an issue -- so go to a store and buy some insoles with heel cups (those were $10 -- so NOT a huge expense). Said to be better about wearing compression sock. When I said "so...why does the middle toe on my right foot stick up like that when I try to curl my toes? Still doing that after a year -- what's causing it?" She said "I have no idea. See? No b.s. -- Just one more reason why I like her. :-)

    Dr Hill permanently ruined my toenails with a simple ingrown toenail procedure. When I went to a…read moredifferent podiatrist to have him fix what she had done, he said she used a technique from the fifties on my toes. On top of that, she did the procedure to both toenails, even though only one needed the work. Why? Perhaps because she is a sadist. That was the vibe I was getting. Incredibly rude, dedicated to my pain. She shouldn't be a doctor.

    I checked into the Emergency Department around 8:30 PM on February 9, 2026. I was triaged and…read morebrought back to a room quickly, with genuine concern shown for my pain, discomfort, and overall well-being. When I arrived in the room, I was promptly greeted by RN Michelle Long. She was caring, compassionate, professional, and incredibly efficient. While I waited to see the physician, she made sure I was comfortable--offering water, providing the Wi-Fi password, and checking in to see if I needed anything else. I was seen by the physician shortly after and treated appropriately for my complaint. The entire visit took about two hours, which is truly impressive for an ER visit. This was an outstanding experience. Thank you so much for what you do, Michelle--keep up the excellent work!

    Honestly speaking, there are a lot of FMP providers in places like the Philippines that are better…read moremaintained than this place. Plus they have far more polite staff. First is the parking. There is almost nothing near, and the spaces are crazy small. I was pushing someone up an enclosed walkway from the hospital to an adjoining parking deck. The incline is ridiculous. If you're at all injured or elderly you're not pushing anyone up this thing. If it were a private hospital, the feds would probably sue them for having this thing. Inside, a disabled senior citizen, Marine, in a wheelchair was in front of me when I was there. As we were coming up to a hallway intersection, some guy who worked there stopped in the entrance of our hallway to the cross hallway, blocking the entrance In other words, we could not go into the next hallway and turn the corner because this guy was in the way. He stopped to talk to a coworker and didn't care we were right there. It took about a second for me to realize what he was doing, but before I could ask him to move, the Marine (Semper Fi) in the wheelchair in front of me did. The dude and his colleague looked at us like we were aliens. Bro... Don't be so rude and disrespectful. Another employee I spoke to, I asked where the blue elevator was. He held up his arms and shrugged with an "I don't know" gesture, then turned away. I mean, you have people here who lost limbs to keep you free. Stop treating them like they're a rock in your shoe. Terrible.
