I always leave the clinic with a sense of being cared for and hopefulness by competent and kind providers. I have a wonky schedule, and the clinic has been flexible with my scheduling appointments as well. They have had a faster turnaround time than the larger clinics I used to go to (for reference: I established care with Dr. Schenoist within 1-2 weeks of my initial phone call. and if I had an urgent need, I could get in for an appointment within the week. by contrast- if I dared do that with the larger clinics like CHI Franciscan or Virginia Mason, I was waiting MONTHS for an appointment to be seen.) I am so grateful to Dr. Scheinoist and his team.

I have always felt important and worthy of his time during appointments. When my husband broke his foot last year, I did not hesitate to make an appointment with Dr. Sorensen. The doctor fit us into his schedule despite late notice, and still spent a lot of time describing the surgery procedure and healing process to us. Dr. Sorensen was very honest and upfront about the realities of the surgery, but also helped us to see the benefits of it. My husband has healed marvelously and we will definitely continue our visits to our favorite podiatrist.

I really, truly wanted to like this clinic. I went here because it's close to my house. After an…read moreappointment that went well, I went and got an MRI. And then was essentially ghosted. It took three calls for me months after the MRI to even get the results. I was told I needed to have some surgery and they would have the surgical center call me. That was November of 2023. It is nearly May 2024. I'm over it, this place doesn't follow up or is understaffed, or just plain doesn't care. Not sure which but it's really frustrating. They also don't answer the phones half the time. Go somewhere else if you want decent care.

My mother has been using this service for over 10 years and has told friends about it. First at a…read moremedical doctor's office then at home due to advancing in age. The home visits are $75 compared to $20 at doctors office. She was in the hospital due to a fall and rehab so did not have service for A SHORT WHILE. When she resumed her appointments, she had a different nurse who she felt was not a good fit. I tried to schedule another nurse and was basically told they could not look up what nurse it was or when her last appointment was, they were really busy, do not come to her city much (but they come to a large senior center, many senior living communities, and a hospital all in the city they claim they don't come to.) I was told it was really like a "favor" to come and charge $75 for an in home nail trim and they are really too busy. Needless to say I will be finding a new company and nurse who are not too busy to provide services they advertise they provide. As an elder advocate, ombudsman, and professional who works in senior care I am truly disappointed in senior foot care of Puyallup and will not recommend their services any longer.

When I came to see him I was in severe pain, now I have no pain when I walk on my ankle and foot. I could go on and on, but I am so thankful to have this 7 month ordeal over. I just wish I had found him and his office sooner. One last thing, Dr. Lo is not connected to the two large medical entities in town. Because of this he is able to take his time and answer more than just three questions per visit. That is definitely a huge plus.

I saw Dr. Lo earlier in 2024 and ended up getting orthotics. He's really personable and…read moreknowledgeable and I would recommend him, hence the five stars. Oh, and yes - no plantar fasciitis anymore. That said, I wish I could give a separate rating for the admin staff - they almost never answer the phone and you have to leave a message. Leaving a message does not guarantee that you will get a call back the same day (even if calling mid-day w/in their working hours), or the following day, or the day after that. I was reminded of this as I'm trying to get an old insurance issue taken care of and just want them to reply to me. I cannot give a doctor a low rating if they are doing a great job - too many people write negative reviews for the wrong reasons - but again, super frustrating to not have an office staff that responds promptly, or even answers the phone at all.

If the doctor is incapable of handling my procedure from the 1st time, that should be owned by you, not the patient, who suffered going through the same procedure 3 times, and now being billed 3 times plus multiple followups.

I feel I am in a unique position to review this doctor due to the length of time I have been under…read morehis care. Almost 7 months ago I dropped a 700 pound motorcycle on my left leg. This was a very severe injury. Even though the motorcycle was only moving extremely slowly when it fell on my leg it spun my foot completely backward and then crushed it. It broke bones in my leg and my ankle, totally dislocated the ankle and destroyed all the ligaments and tendons from mid-calf down. This took 3 separate surgeries to repair. Today I am coming to the end of my journey under Dr. Scheinost's care, and I could not be happier with his service. Throughout all this time Dr. Scheinost has been the most caring and passionate doctor I've ever engaged. He has been reassuring to me, which I badly needed, and he has been my champion. His temperament and, so called, bed side manner have brought him to a level that is more than just a doctor to me. I am proud to call him my friend. Dr. Scheinost is the quintessential 'people guy'. He has a great humor about him and truly cares about his patients on a personal level as well as the physical. Probably a little known fact; he is not just a surgeon, but a teaching surgeon. To achieve this level of expertise is an amazing accomplishment on its own. His well trained staff is simply a pleasure to work with as well. A snifter clink to you too, Trish, it's been great getting to know you as well. I could not give Dr. Tyler Scheinost higher marks in every category and he comes highly recommended by me and my wife. He brought me through this terrible ordeal with flying colors and I shall be forever grateful.

I have been going to Hoover for over 3 years.

The receptionist is extremely rude. Phone calls are rarely picked up, messages are never returned. Early 2026, they seemed to be having serious issues operating their business. I called multiple times in a month period to make an appointment. I even showed up at the office and it was closed during business hours. I finally connected face to face after 8 months of trying, dozens of messages never returned and the office being closed during their advertised business hours. The receptionist was extremely rude and the office manger wouldn't speak to me. I had apparently said something at my last appointment (over 1.5 years ago) that offended Dr Hoover. Nothing was ever said to me. No phone calls were received. Not even a letter to notify me. Again, my issue isn't with him being offended at something I said. It is how incredibly unprofessional he and his staff were regarding the situation. No notification, nothing. They just ducked calls and messages over an entire year. Not all doctors and clients will see eye to eye. However, if you're going to run a business and have clients, you need to be prepared to have difficult conversations! Or send simple letters. I loved going to this doctor, he was friendly and knowledgeable and straight forward. But again, this entire experience was extremely unprofessional and just shocking. His quality of care has gone down Significantly since his divorce. Hopefully he can get his act together and be more communicative to his clients. Be prepared to have a LOT of patience and essentially chase down your appointments!
