I cannot say enough how wonderful Dr. Jeffery LaMour and their staff are. They are kind, friendly, and caring and treat you like family! More importantly, Dr. LaMour cured my toenail fungus, but another podiatrist I went to could not. I spent approximately 2K at the other Dr. office on laser treatments and inferior creams and had no improvement after two years. The 12 laser treatments did not help; so they just kept cutting the toenails down. (refer pic 1) During my last visit, I was told neither of my large toenails would ever reattach. Luckily, I did not accept that diagnosis and found Dr. LaMour! Dr. LaMour first tested my nails to see what fungus it was and if there were any yeast or other infections. Based on his findings, he recommended Jublia, and connected me to a pharmacy where I could purchase it very reasonably. He also suggested I get a shoe zapper that sanitizes your shoes with a UVC germicidal light and prevents cross-contamination when wearing different shoes. The Dr. had a very comprehensive protocol for treating my toenail fungus. I had two complete PinPointe laser treatments and three partials, and I am at about the 95% mark for curing my toenail fungus! (refer pic 2) Thank you SO much Dr LaMour and staff! read more

Jeffery LaMour, DPM, PA - Toenails Before - Podiatrists Near Me - Austin, Texas

See all

The front office staff don't communicate with each other, and seem to contradict what they say from day to day. The woman that answered the phone on May 7th was also condescending and showed no care with the issue while on the phone. If they're treating new patients this way, I would be concerned about on-going care. I decided to cancel my appointment and go elsewhere. read more

I wouldn't come back to this office with a 10 foot pole. Dr. LaMour was pretty condescending the whole time he spoke to me, and I had to call back several times just to get the notes that he took during our appointment. He was also not clear about what my x-ray results were, I had to ask. When I came back to the office today, they told me that I had several missed calls from their office. I offered to show them my call log, where I do not have any missed calls. Don't gaslight someone. I'm not stupid. I know when I have a missed call and when I don't. And here's the thing... Even if I had missed calls from your office, why didn't you leave me a message? It's a fair and valid question, Right? When I said that I was feeling anxious over this, the receptionist just said, "OK bye!" I'm sorry, are you a 14-year-old teenager? Or someone supposedly working in a professional office? You don't talk to people like that. You don't know what they're going through, you don't know the financial hardships I'm dealing with right now, and the $100 co-pay is certainly hard enough as it is. Don't go to this office. Dr. LaMour is very condescending and yet another over Blown male egotistical practitioner. There's a lot of them. We need more females in the business. read more

Immediate and to the point with a twist of humor. He Used lab analysis instead of guessing, to guide his treatment. Nailed it!

I have had a great experience with Dr LaMour and his team. They have a great rapport amongst themselves and are very much like a family. I had many visits over several months and was always treated very well. I have no doubt that Dr LaMour had my best interests at top of mind and he was surgery avoidant in an effort to do what was best for my recovery, Dr LaMour and team are extremely kind, personable and remind me of the Austin friendliness combined with professional expertise. Highly recommend! read more

The staff was kind when I went, but I felt like I didn't matter at all to the doctor, who spoke at a ridiculously fast pace and never even looked me in the eye as if I was a glitch in his schedule. His assistant came in and put a Velcro brace on my foot. I paid and left without anyone offering me a printout of the bill. A few days later I received a request for about $80 with no bill listing services and charges, just a link to pay. When I called, I asked if I was charged for the brace. Yes. Why wasn't I asked if I wanted it? I have one at home? I felt cheated. That is an extra cost and the patient should have the option. I wanted to bring it back. They told me they did not refund. Even materials not part of the medical visit? NO. They said It was my responsibility to ask for billing details. I've researched that. Perhaps, but it is debatable. BUT, Morally, they are wrong. Customer service? A smart business would have taken the cost to keep a customer. read more

I went to Dr Lamour for a callous on the bottom of my foot that I was worried was a wart, or something worse. He was able to take care of the problem in 2 visits. Regardless of anything else, I was really taken aback by his bedside manner. He was TOO familiar with me, like we'd had romantic interlude once, years before, and we had some sort of rapport together that made it okay to heckle and tease me. I even had a male friend with me at the time. I would have been WAY more uncomfortable if I'd been alone. I want to clarify that he didn't come on to me or touch me inappropriately, he just had no professionalism, and spoke over me, and in a far too familiar way. He went at my foot without much regard to my comfort level and his proximity to me with sharp, pointy objects while calling me out on my choice of footwear. Were I to need a foot doctor again, I would NOT return. read more

My " Go To Foot Doc," knowledgeable, professional, personable and always good results! I'm back on my dancing feet due to Dr. LaMour close management. Thanks read more

Had the same experience as Stephanie H. re: not understanding personal boundaries well. He was too informal, too jokey and made me feel uncomfortable. I went 3 times to have a spot on my foot looked at; no improvement and he just keeps recommend me to come back to have it scraped ($50 a pop each time, plus an expensive foot cream that seems to be having no effect). The worst part is arguably that he wastes your time. The "friendliness" really just means talking your ear off about whatever is on his mind. He's clearly the one causing problems with timeliness and not because of attention to detail, just because he wants to gab. I've never had to wait less than 40 minutes to be seen, even first thing in the morning. read more

This was my first visit to a Podiatrist and I was grateful to find a great doctor right away! Dr. LaMour and his staff are very welcoming and very helpful. Dr. LaMour is very detailed, professional, funny, and willing to go the extra mile to find the right treatment for my injured left foot. They were able to x-ray me at their facility, which was really convenient and they were willing to work with Medicare. For a girl with disabilities, that always hits the high watermark. Thank you so much! I appreciate y'all. I will definitely recommend this Podiatrist. read more

Should have read reviews first, which I normally do but, needed consultation for my feet since I was recently diagnosed diabetic. My appointment was for 0830, arrived 15 minutes early to complete paperwork and doors were locked. Office hours listed on door has 0800 opening. Had to wait almost an hour to be seen was told on several occasions Dr. LaMour was in surgery that was running longer than expected. Nancy and one other lady in the front office area were very friendly. The assistant who performed my x-ray (sorry cannot spell your name) was very, very good with the procedure. There were several other office workers who entered the office and did not even say good morning or acknowledge me sitting in the patient's waiting area. Fast forward to the next week, called to reschedule my next appointment and was told I did not have one scheduled, even though I had a business card with the date listed. I just cancelled that appointment based on the information from the reviews due to the fact most of them listed things that covered my situation. Dr. LaMour's bedside manner was great, but I cannot take chance on being over billed for his services in the future. I am basing this on information received from him about future treatments needed. read more

I saw Dr. Lamour for an ingrown toenail that I could not remove. He was a nice man, but I felt like he was an "out for money" type of doctor instead of an "I want to help you" type of doctor. There was a "funny" sign in the room that talked about things he would say and the bills he needed to pay, i.e. please come back for a follow-up visit meant that he needed to pay his BMW bill. I'm sure it was just a joke, but things he kept saying made me feel like the sign was actually true. Also, he had given me shots in my toe to numb it and then left the room. While he was gone I had passed out, woke up, and yelled for a nurse five times as loud as I could. No one ever heard me! I will try to find another podiatrist the next time I need one. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Lamour from October 2009 until July 2010. I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and he went through the standard fare for this diagnosis: wrap and exercise, neither of which helped me. In December he prescribed Celebrex and gave me a steroid shot in my foot. That hurt like the devil but I had a pain-free Christmas, and remained pain-free for a month. I had a second shot in February, and a third in May (you can only have three or else the fat pad in your heel breaks down). I was still in a great deal of pain by July so he decided on shockwave treatments. This is where I lost all faith in him. I was told that they wouldn't be covered by insurance, but they gave me the billing code so I could check with United Healthcare anyway. I did, and to my surprise, they were going to cover it! Otherwise, I'd be looking at $1000 a treatment. These treatments did nothing for me, and I was referred to a physical therapist (whom I adored, and helped me tremendously). Fast forward to October. I received a bill from Dr. Lamour for $3000, the cost of the shockwave treatments. I called United Healthcare and asked why they didn't cover it after they said they would. They had notes from my earlier call, and as it turns out, Dr. Lamour's staff gave me the wrong billing code. They gave me a code for shockwave treatment for kidneys! I called his office and they basically told me "tough crap, you're stuck with the bill". I told them that this was in no way my fault, that they gave me the wrong code since there was no way I could have known this code on my own, and that it was their responsibility to pre-cert a procedure like this anyway. They told me that *I* was responsible for calling insurance (since when is a patient responsible for this?). Well, I did call them but was given the wrong code by HIS office staff...and so the circle continued. I refused to pay a dime. They then sent me a bill for $300 (a 90% reduction) but I still refused to pay. I should also mention that on at least 10 occasions I paid an office copay when no office visit was billed to UHC. I called his office and informed him of his erroneous billing practices and my $300 bill magically disappeared. Dr. Lamour is a bit flaky, his methods don't work, and his office staff is out-to-lunch, even when they're on the clock. read more

DO NOT DO THE LASER FUNGUS REMOVER!! First, it costs about $800 and insurance does not cover it. Second, IT DOES NOT WORK. Do not waste your money! I have been seeing him for over a year now (for the same problem). Time to find a new podiatrist! The other reviewers here are pretty much right on. Don't go to him. read more

Steer clear folks. Jeffrey is a very friendly podiatrist but he systematically overcharges. He has a "funny" sign on his wall: when a doctor tells you "this looks serious" it means "I want the deluxe Harmon Cardon stereo system in my new Mercedes". Ha ha. Believe it. First case: I had a plantar wart. He used a non-covered expensive lazer treatment that cost me nearly $1000. After several painful visits the wart was still there. Finally applied a compound called Canthecur which worked like a charm. He had a side business with whoever supplied the laser equipment and he was just milking me. Went back in just last month thinking I had another plantar wart. He said it was just a small lesion. He charged me $220 for the visit-- $80 for 30 seconds of whittling that lesion off with a scalpel-- again not covered by BCBS. Steer clear folks. He's laughing all the way to the bank. read more

I have serious Toe Nail Fungus on all 10 of my toes and have been avoiding doing anything about it for awhile. Finally, after seeing a billboard on S. Lamar of Dr. LaMour's Laser Treatment and a FREE consultation I decided to check it out. The moment Dr. LaMour walked into the room he was at a seriously high level of intensity. He fired off all of my options for fungus treatment in rapid machine gun like succession punctuated at the end with an abrupt "Any questions?". I was stunned. His bed-side manner was AWFUL!!! Instead of following my gut I decided to go ahead and make an appointment for the Laser Treatment. On the day of my scheduled treatment, I received a phone call stating that Dr. LaMour had to reschedule because of a memorial service. They couldn't call me sooner? I decided to find someone else. The doctor I found offered the same exact procedure which included 3 treatments for a total of $750. Dr. LaMour was going to charge me $1200 for 1 treatment and an additional $450 for a second treatment if needed. Avoid going to this guy. He is not ice and charges way too much. read more

I went to Dr. Lamour to have him investigate a growth on my foot. After waiting about 30 minutes past my appointment time, he enters the room and is quick to look at my foot. All he did was poke the "growth" and he diagnosed me within 1 minute. He wanted to drain something that had nothing in it. Not only was it brief and a questionable diagnosis he was very short with me when I had questions. He wanted to drain it, but then informed me that there was an 80% chance of it coming back. He said he would have to do that a few times and we could possibly remove it later. I've seen another doctor that took an x-ray which would have seemed to be out of the question for LaMour. I don't recommend him if you don't want to spend money on ineffective treatments or don't like "money-hungry" doctors. read more

Excellent, professional service from an outstanding, courteous staff. Recommend them to anyone. The Doctor is very knowledgeable and gives the patient sufficient time. R. Wayne read more

Dr. Jeff LaMour has treated me for a couple of problems and I was very pleased with him on both occasions. He quickly diagnosed the plantar fasc. and nerve issue, treating them right away. He is very knowledgeable, down to earth, compassionate and has a great sense of humor. His staff are friendly and answered the questions I asked. He and his staff are very personal and made me feel at home, unlike many other doctors' offices I have visited. He was not just out to make a buck. He told me my options and suggested the most efficient and economical, instead of performing unnecessary treatments and having me return for unneeded follow up visits. I took my Dad there, when he was visiting from out of town. They were able to see him that same day! Dr. LaMour treated his Gout on the spot and prescribed medication. Dad felt immediate relief and was able to make the 6 hour drive back home the next day. Dr. LaMour and his staff went out of their way and were very friendly and professional. I highly recommend going to Dr. LaMour if you need a good podiatrist! read more

Dr. LaMour and all the staff are great. I thought he would recommend surgery right away, but he was able to help me out with my bunion pain with out surgery (for now anyway). The staff is great also, very accommodating. read more

I find Dr Jeff LaMour and his staff to be very helpful in helping me with a very, very painful ankle problem that I have. Before I saw him I was wearing a tortuous brace and now my problem has miraculously healed with their care. I especially like his nurse who so carefully wraps my ankle and makes me feel so at ease. God bless them! read more

I truly truly wished that I would have read all of these past reviews of this supposed doctor. As a person he is very friendly. Even his staff is friendly. But his practice SUCKS! My first experience there I had gotten my toenails removed for toenail fungus. He had injected my toes and walked out of the room. He was gone for a while that when he came back he tried to pull my toenail out and I shrieked from the pain. The numbness was gone because of how long he had taken. He had to inject me again. I followed ALL post procedures but fungus came back. I thought I had done something wrong. So I signed up for the laser treatment. Was a bit painful, but didn't care I really didn't want this crap to come back. Paid $500. I'm wondering if he charges everyone differently? Because I saw that he charged someone $800! I had my procedure done last year in 2014. So this time around I changed out my whole shoe wardrobe, just to be sure it wouldn't come back. I applied the toenail polish. And NOTHING....it did not work. And reading from these other reviews I am completely agreeing with them. This doctor will do ANYTHING to keep you as a customer. Because he can easily heal you and you will be off with your life. Or he won't heal you and can keep you as a customer forever. I say customer because that is all he cares about. He only cares about $$$$. He does not care about having patients...he only cares about is keeping his customers. I can tell you too that I told him that I had suspicion that I had a wart on my foot. He said it was nothing. He said it was only a heat bubble. NOW I'm sitting here fully aware that this crap is a wart. Instead of keeping Patients and us recommending him as a doctor he is losing all of these patients. No thank you. NOTICE how some doctors will have reviews on their webpage....this guy doesn't. He doesn't because he'd only get negative feedback. read more

Dr. LaMour has treated three of my family members now, and he is outstanding! He is extremely professional and kind and took a conservative approach with each of us to ensure we didn't spend more than we needed to. I eventually wound up needing surgery, and that turned out well--I'm no longer in pain! Would recommend Dr. LaMour to anyone! read more

Dr Lamour does a great job and is very funny always joking however last two visits at shoal creek have taken forever. Had an appointment at 4 didnt begin procedure until a little after 5. Two weeks later i have another 4pm appointment but dr. Doesnt come in until 4:47. read more

Great doctor, very down to business. Willing to try all avenues to help get you out of pain. Friendly staff as well.

I decided to post after reading such negative reviews. He did a bunion surgery on my right foot 9 years ago. All went well. His staff was awesome. I liked his manner and demeanor, thought he was a very competent doctor, and enjoyed his conversation. I tried to find him online this morning to send a dear friend in for a problem she is having. I thought his name was Love. Found him by googling address on Shoal Creek. Take these negatives with a grain of salt...not everybody wants a positive outcome so they can complain! Don't we get tired of those types. read more

Well, I'll try to make a very long story short. First off, don't bother with laser treatment for toe nail fungus, it doesn't work. My big toe on my left foot started to turn yellow on the corner after an injury where the nail almost came off about 5 years ago. I took care of it for many years and the fungus never really spread. Well, I decided to go in and have laser treatment done. He quoted me $900 dollars to treat the ONE toe. He told me that he would have to treat the other four on the same foot just to make sure (there's nothing wrong with them), but I said fine. I came in the following week, he shaved my entire big toe down, which is what I think eventually caused the problem I have now, and did the laser treatment which took about 15 mins. He explained to me that I would need to put this nail ointment on it everyday twice a day, which I did religiously. He told me to come back in three months. In three months I come back and you can tell it's beginning to spread to the bottom of my toenail. They even compared the before and after pics and it was very noticeable. He told me to continue doing what I was doing and come back in another three months. I come back and the toenail is completely yellow and coming off. He questioned whether I was using the ointment, in which I told him I never miss a day. He looked perplexed and told me to buy some over the counter Lamisil cream and use that on my nail and come back in three months! I came back and it was clear that I was in much worse shape. My nail was thick yellow and the fungus had worked it's way down to the cutical. I asked him if we could do another treatment and he said that would cost another 4-500 dollars. I asked him what my other options were and he told me take a pill which may work, but I have to take a test to see if my liver can handle it, laser it again, remove the nail, or just walk away!!!! After consideration, I said, "well, let's remove it then". He told me that would be an addition 3-$400 dollars for a 15 in procedure. He then rushed me out and told me to think about it and call him back. Well, I've called his office 6 times and have left 6 messages with his staff, all of which said they'd have him call me back. No call. The last call I told them that I would lilke half my money back since my situation iis much worse and I'm out $1000. They told me if I understand that there's no guarantee's in medicine! So I guess I'm out $1000 with a situation much much worse off. At least before the procedure it was just slightly discolored, now it's thick and half way fallen off. read more

Yelp is not yet big on doctors, but it should be. If I had read the reviews on Yelp about Dr. LaMour before I went, I would have not gone. i did not read them, so I went and had the same bad experience that everyone else did. I felt like a cow being milked for money. Dr. Lamour was willing to sell you and bill you for a multitude of treatments that got no result. His staff is rude, and he is quick to defend them. I am changing Dr's, to see if I get a different result, regardless, I will find a Dr. That doesn't see me and my insurance company as a milk cow. read more

My husband and I have been going to Dr. LaMour for 2-3 years. He has treated us for a variety of foot ailments. I've also taken my 90 year old father in for routine footcare. He and his staff have always been SO good to us. He has a super demeanor, interacting well with elderly patients and children, putting almost all patients at ease. He has been practicing in the Austin area for about 15 years. We trust his expertise, experience, judgement, and opinions about podiatry/foot issues. read more

AWESOME DOCTOR!! My husband has been a patient of Dr. LaMour for several years. He has ongoing problems with ulcers & without the excellent care of Dr. LaMour would have most certainly lost his foot & possibly part of his leg. He is never in a hurry - ALWAYS asks if we have issues or questions & treats the patient and the family in a friendly & professional manor. His staff is just as awesome. This includes his nurses and his receptionist. With the trama we went through this last year, I don't know what I would have done without Dr. LaMour and his staff to lean on. If you are looking for a doctor for yourself or a loved one, I definately recommend Dr. Jeffery Lamour! read more

My experience was very positive. Dr. Lamour treated all toes altho only my big toe had fungus, to ensure that all toes would be healthy. Prior to the date of my follow-up I noticed that it was coming back, so I went in early. He treated me again- gratis. I just had a third appt and the fungus is gone. He treated me again-- for free-- just to make sure. Yes it's expensive, but it worked and I felt like my care was first rate! read more

Several years ago I went to Dr. LaMour after being told I needed orthotic/arch supports. He knew I was going to run the 3M Half Marathon no matter what so he made a temporary support so I could do the race. Afterwards he made a custom insert for my running shoes and after some P.T. my problem was cured. Dr. LaMour also recommended a place to have my custom inserts refurbished locally several year later. Recently I was having foot pain which limited my running. He took Xrays and discovered bone spurs in my big toe joint. He tried one shot to reduce inflammation and to calm it down. That did not last so I chose the next option which was surgery. His staff set up the appointment and handled the pre-op paperwork so everything went smoothly. The surgery was a breeze. After I had some post-op bleeding that I was concerned about, he even returned a phone call late at night and saw me the next morning at his office to change the dressing and evaluate the situation. Everything during the healing process has gone very well. I like that he has X-ray and sonogram machines in his office. It saves me time and trouble to schedule those procedures elsewhere. Dr. LaMour is professional, friendly, and very honest I found that he never over prescribes treatment and does take time to get to know his patients. I also like that he doesn't over book is appointments so I don't have to sit in the office waiting way past my appointment time before being seen. My time is valuable and many other doctors keep you waiting for hours. Dr. LaMour also felt that I didn't need P.T. after the surgery which saved me a lot of money. I just did my foot exercises on my own and it improved nicely. Dr. LaMour also treated my foot for a wart with a topical treatment which cured it without the painful freezing treatments used by dermatologist. I've had no issues with him or his staff. They are all great and helpful. I recommend him. read more
