Reminds me of my time in the Navy as a field medic. Same level as my fellow corpsmen. Attentive, respectful, listens to what's going on, as well as diagnosing and evaluating, because a lot of these conditions are, at least initially, by touch-and-feel. Then go for the further diagnoses, to narrow it down. The bottom line is, they aren't a "churn them out as fast as you can," clinic, like larger hospitals like Evergreen (which does have excellent staff as well, they can just get overwhelmed). They do have an on-site surgery ward. They may have to pull in anesthesiology from out-of-house, but they know some of the best, so they pull in the best. My condition was compounded, bilateral Morton's Neuroma, with Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome. It was a nightmare. They literally saved my life. The pain was to the point of suicidal. The benefit I had, was knowing medical terminology, anatomy, and being able discuss everything on, maybe not quite equal terms, but near-to. Dr. Nelson and his staff are a dream-team. When I say they don't, "churn them out as fast as they can," it doesn't mean they waste effort. They're just very experience. Do what needs to be done, without making you wait. Large hospitals, like I said, Evergreen, which is great, can have you on a waiting list for a month, where as Issaquah Foot and Ankle will have you in the next week, or as soon as available. If I were to compare them to anything, it'd be a frontier clinic, where the best go to treat people the best they can, treat their patients on a personal level, without having to deal with an overwhelming client base. As for surgical scheduling. As I mentioned, they bring in anesthesiologists from other clinics, as far away as southern California, so they have to schedule around their schedules. Other hospitals, it can take months. Another reviewer mentioned how they were referred to diagnosis specialists. There's one I went to in Tacoma. Electrical Skeletal-Muscular Diagnosis, wherein, it's like having a car electronics diagnostic given, which shows where there's impedance, or anomalies in the nerves. Nailed it. In any case, they're a little out-of-the-way, not too far, but if you want a team that knows what they're doing, go with them, before having to wait a month just to get an exam. This is, a bit long, as reviews go, I guess, but they're worth it. As to the complications of surgery involving general sedation, of *course* they'll require you to have someone to pick you up. You're pretty out-of-it for awhile after. Driving in those conditions would be dangerous to both yourself, and others, not to mention risking all the work done on the feet afterwards. I suppose there's medical transportation as an option. In my case, I had a friend who drove me from the clinic to home, and I needed some help.

Horrendous experience with their billing and charges. Found the practice to be very deceptive and…read moremisleading. Ask for all potential charges before receiving any care here, even with in network insurance. $490 for a foot brace! I repeat - $494.75 for a small foot brace, I kid you not. I had some pain in my heel lasting for a couple weeks and thought "let's get it checked out". Saw Dr Tim Young for a 15 minute, middle of the road appointment - he recommended stretching more (yes, stretching!) and to wear a foot brace at night. Ok, fine suggestions although pretty basic and to be expected. A few weeks later my bill came and I kid you not this is what was billed by this company: New patient appt: $330 Time for the visit: $180 Ankle brace: $480! Random charge I can't yet determine: $180 If you're counting, that is $1170 for a honest to god 15 min appt, where again the main recommendation was to stretch my calf more. Shameful and appalling. If you choose to visit Issq Foot & Ankle, good luck to you. Your wallet will surely need it

"We don't work with any vehicle injuries," said the receptionist when I inquired about an appointment for a toe injury that's the result of an accident. I explained that the break was straight, with no need for reduction or surgery, but just that the injury hadn't healed after several weeks. I was specifically looking to see if there might be a need for physical therapy since the toe won't bend, but we never got that far in the conversation. I selected this practice because of the listings on their website that said they treat sports-related injuries and foot trauma in adults and children. Also, when I asked if the doctor was accepting new patients, she said it depended on my insurance. When I said Premera through Microsoft, it was an immediate yes.

When I came to SF&A I was skeptical but had to get some sort of relief from the pain as my appointment with the VA pediatrist was 4 weeks out. After seeing the doc and her giving me a shot in the bottom of my foot and a few other problem areas it was almost instantaneous relief. To the point other areas of my body started to hurt. We all go to the doc for one of two things. To figure out what is wrong or to fix what's wrong. The doc did both. Out of over a dozen docs and treatments. She is the only one that was able to offer the pain relief at an almost 100%. I can visit the VA for free but I choose to visit her whenever I need help. I wish she was able to treat back issues too.

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.
