The laser gizmo for a wart on my foot was not the most comfortable every 3 or 4 weeks but sure enough after a few months that wart is finally gone.

When I followed up with her she was 'baffled' as to why I developed this condition! And yet throughout my own research I discovered that lymphedema is caused either by trauma or surgery. And when I asked another podiatrist, he stated that technically, surgery could be considered 'trauma.' I wouldn't in good conscience recommend her to anyone!!! If I could rate her a zero I would!!!

He's thorough when he knows what he's talking about, honest when he doesn't, and doesn't dance around with platitudes. I'm going to guess that's a bit off-putting by people who are used to being coddled, but for me, I really appreciate his approach. I don't want to be pals and talk about the Tigers game for 8 of the 10 minutes he's in the room. I want to not feel sick. Done and done. Getting a same-day appointment isn't too difficult if you've got something legit, and though it may not be with the Doctor himself, his PA is at least as good. I've never once felt like "Okay, go get the doctor" when I've seen her. I also appreciate not being left in the waiting room forever, or being brought back near my appointment, only to be left in the exam room for 45 minutes. When I've asked for a same-day appointment, the longest I've waited was maybe 20 minutes total. With appointments, it's usually about 10 minutes. I'm pretty quick to change doctors when something seems amiss, but I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever been to a practice that's instilled -- and more importantly, earned -- nearly implicit trust.
