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.

I can't speak to the medical conditions for which other reviews reported very negatively of Dr…read more Huppin, but if you have toenail fungus, definitely see him! 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.

I'm sharing this experience because it doesn't align with this clinic's otherwise positive reviews…read more Before my ultrasound results were available, I explained that I had a new insurance deductible and asked if there was a workaround: if the results were unremarkable, could I avoid a visit altogether and only come in (or do telehealth) if follow-up or referral was actually needed. I was clear that I was willing to schedule a visit if there was a concern. That request was never addressed. When I later shared that the interaction felt unhelpful, the response was multiple phone calls in a row. During that call, I was told only that results must be reviewed as an appointment, with no discussion of alternatives. Even a basic confirmation of whether results were unremarkable was framed as requiring a billable visit--an approach that appears inconsistent with Washington State billing guidance distinguishing administrative acknowledgment of normal results from billable clinical services. I expect the office may respond by citing "policy," and they're welcome to do so. But this ultimately comes down to nuance: how policy is applied in practice, and whether any effort is made to accommodate reasonable, cost-conscious patient requests raised in advance. If you value billing transparency and patient-centered flexibility, this may not be the right office for you. **Notes based off the offices response; I want to make it very clear that I attempted a collaborative conversation, and at no point was I met with one. I asked in writing whether a visit could be avoided if no follow-up was needed. That question wasn't addressed; the only response was that results must be reviewed in an appointment. That's the disconnect I was trying to describe. I understand that providing clinical interpretation is billable; however, my request was limited to whether the already-interpreted results were unremarkable and whether follow-up was needed. I was met with a refusal to communicate without a visit--which is the distinction I was trying to raise.

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.

"Where IS this place", I breathlessly mouthed to myself as I shuffled across the pavement…read more Feeling my ankle wheeze under the pressure of my awkward gait, I squinted through the drizzle at a Soviet-style brick building. It looked like a stunted barge that purposefully beached itself to be scrapped. Instead, they put offices in it. I shook off the rain and limped like a lame dog into the main passageway towards the elevator. Startled, I caught myself in the mirror looking like hell having worked a marathon week in the office. ::thump:: The elevator drops a few inches and hesitates, realizing I didn't give it a command. My knee groaned like an old tree... Realizing that I too didn't know where I was going, and that I once again forgot the name of this place, I looked around and pressed the G button... for garden. I slowly descended into the dark cargo hold trying to make myself look less homeless in the mirror. The office was quiet and warm. I was now having fleeting flashbacks of a ship I once explored while in Russia. The giant receptionist desk dwarfed the chairs in the waiting area, which made my debilitated knees feel like they were right against the desk. Another patient walked in and sat unnecessarily close to me. I could see him looking at me in my peripheral, maybe ascertaining if I was indeed without home. I did what any good Seattleite would do and ignored him, frowning deep in profound thought. I saw candy canes in a basket, which reminded me of my late father who suffered from type 1 diabetes and had lost both legs. My mind flipped towards my own immortality and my genetic predisposition for diabetes. Halfway through the delightful candy cane, I worked my cramped left hand across a clipboard filling out paperwork. I was called back and met the owner, who was cheerful, friendly, and in way better shape than myself. He sat me down in what can only be described as a 1930's lobotomy chair. I couldn't stop playing with the levers and knobs in wonderment. I saw a painting of a ram that made me ponder if I could handle staring at it while on mushrooms. On my way out I felt good, refreshed even. I looked to my right and a secret door had appeared which lead right outside. Shuffling up the steps, I was thankful I didn't have to look into that mirror again on the way out. As I clumsily thrust myself back across the parking lot, I kept looking back towards the Soviet ship, trying to shake the feeling of that ram in the painting watching me. Waiting... perhaps in that chair. Anyway, I totally recommend these guys. if you're looking for orthotics in Seattle or prosthetics in Seattle. They have a lot of experience working with the VA, which is great too. Sorry about filling up your Yelp page.

I'm committed to happy feet!…read more Those were the first words I spoke to Dr. Alexis. I had been suffering for months with foot pain that was changing how I stood and walked. I went to Dr. Alexis for what I thought was a wort that wouldn't go away. Everything I did too self treat wouldn't make the wart go away. After four months of pain and discomfort (missing dance classes and workouts), I finally broke down and booked an appointment. The office was clean and followed Covid-19 protocols keeping herself and her clients safe. Dr. Alexis is very knowledgeable. She asked meaningful questions and listened attentively to my experience. She then gently examined the area and helped me understand the root cause of my condition! She was thoughtful with answering my questions and got consent for each layer of treatment she provided. I left her office in less pain, and equipped with tools to support my ongoing foot health. I have gone back one additional time, with some of my shoes and Dr. Alexis educated me and gave me tools to have foot comfort with each pair!

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?

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.

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
