I would like to sincerely thank the entire team at Palm Tree Podiatry, Foot and Ankle Clinic in…read morePalm Coast, Florida. Special gratitude goes to the medical assistants Abby and Christina, who create a warm and welcoming atmosphere for new patients from the very first moment. They work quickly, cheerfully, and attentively, answering all of my questions related to the upcoming consultation with the doctor. I asked many questions, including those about payment and safety, several of which required the doctor's input -- and they promptly coordinated with the doctor for the necessary clarifications. Dr. Eric Freiler showed exceptional attentiveness to my medical history, which immediately set a trusting and open tone for our conversation as a new patient. He carefully reviewed all the information, asked clarifying questions, and only then proceeded with a detailed physical examination. His recommendations were based not only on his professional knowledge and solid experience but also thoughtfully took into account my personal preferences and needs. It is always a pleasure to deal with such a professional who genuinely cares about the patient's well-being. Without a doubt, I will continue to use Dr. Freiler's services and highly recommend him to anyone seeking expert and attentive medical care.

I have been seeing Dr. Hawthorne for several years now and can attest that Dr. Hawthorne is not…read moreonly an awesome doctor, he is also an incredible surgeon. I have been receiving knee injections from Dr. Hawthorne in my attempt to postpone the inevitable - knee replacement surgery. More about that another time. On Father's Day weekend 2023, I felt a momentary sharp pain in my right shoulder. Having felt a similar pain in my past, I assumed what I had done. I put off seeing Dr. Hawthorne until July. After the CT, the official diagnosis was, "retracted full-thickness, full width re-tear of the supraspinatus tendon and, retracted full-thickness near full-width tear of the infraspinatus tendon". In laymen's terms, I tore my rotator cuff - again. The surgery (not arthroscopic) was addressed in mid-August. I started in-home PT 3-days after the surgery (arranged by Dr. Hawthorne's office). In-home PT continued for 3-weeks. I am currently in outpatient PT doing the work to re-gain both my strength, and my range of motion (also arranged by Dr. Hawthorne's office). By the way, I have a tattoo on the shoulder where the surgery was done. Without exaggeration, you would not be able to tell that I had surgery if I did not tell you. The point of incision is barely visible. Dr. Hawthorne is a man of few words. He'll give you the facts to help you to decide the next steps, without the glitter. When you are ready, you can move forward with him and trust that he will do a great job. I trust him. As soon as I have completed PT and have fully recovered from rotator cuff surgery, I will be scheduling with Dr. Hawthorne to get my knees done, one after the other. I highly recommend Dr. Hawthorne and his team.

Everything about the…read moreatmosphere will make you feel awkward, from the lack of communication from the staff, to the filthy carpet. There's no TV in the waiting room, just symphony #5 playing on loop, which is a disturbing musical piece that in my opinion isn't appropriate for a doctors office. The 3-gallon water jug looks like it's survived hard times since the 70's, and a brave soul in the room found out that the water had the taste to match. There is paint peeling on the doors and walls, and empty hooks sticking out of the walls, perhaps where something worth bragging about once stood. If I had to summarize this place in one word, it would be: "sketchy". I'd like to give an honorable mention to another possibility: "run".
