Allen, a respected PT, spoke highly of Dr. Tanaka and I now understand why. In addition to his friendly and helpful staff, he is a responsive and experienced Podiatrist who listens to his patients. He was also interested in understanding my history. His diagnostic skills were impressive, quickly identifying my issue and providing reassurance that it could be addressed with approachable daily exercises and a topical gel. I left feeling confident that my needs had been responsibly addressed and with hope that my nagging pain and discomfort will soon be in the rear view mirror.

However, the last time I ordered duplicates, the order was lost and it took over 2 months to get the replacements, then the doctor wasn't available and they still weren't exact replicas. It was a huge hassle both getting them fit and making an appointment with the podiatrist. The podiatrist blamed it on the company that makes them. I have used this office for several years, but my recent experiences have soured me and I'm not going to return.

From first contact with staff to his consultation and ultimate toenail removal, it was a great experience. Dr. Dupont explains pros and cons of various treatment options in a clear and easy to understand way. He is friendly, funny and a pleasure to deal with. I walked in for a consult, and walked out (yes, walked) in no pain and so happy in a few months I'll have beautiful fungus-free toenails. The entire experience was outstanding from beginning to end.

He even offered to use a knife to 'fix it'. Maybe for low level things he is okay. He had no idea how to help with an injured foot. His office will charge you a small charge by mail after your visits from their "billing" people. You can't pay online and you can't pay when in their office. My best advice is to mail in your credit card number and then file a dispute when it shows up. That way you don't rack up their crazy interest. I did that and won the dispute same day. Money is mine. Super shady billing to make it a hassle for you and to take advantage of low resource people. Do better Dr. DuPont

Dr. DuPont is kind and he consistently comes up with the most effective treatment plans. Prior to…read morevisiting Dr. D's office, I was seeing a podiatrist that continued to recommend laser treatments for multiple affected nails. The treatments were expensive and ineffective. I was also purchasing several products that the doctor recommended that were mediocre at best. This continued for a year with no success. I decided to try a new podiatrist, Dr. Dupont, and during our first visit he recommended that we remove the nails. He also suggested different products that were significantly cheaper than what I was paying at the other office. Fast forward several months and my nails look brand new!

My review unfortunately echoes the 2-star review posted by Rona F. back in 2023. The doctor who…read morehelped me was knowledgeable, patient, compassionate, and helpful. Unfortunately, the office staff was from that, and incompetence riddled much of the experience. Most recently, after not receiving the chart notes and referrals I was promised, I called the office and the line disconnected. It has now taken multiple calls, and I still have not received either my chart notes or the referral to a physical therapist who can address my specific needs. It's disappointing because the quality of care from the doctor was undermined by the poor communication and follow-through from the administrative staff.

I'd like to start by saying I strongly dislike posting negative reviews. I let the first five or so…read morenegative experiences/interactions here slide - because, hey, we're all human. But after my interaction today - enough is enough. Poor experience. I was seen for a broken bone in my foot. I am aware that my insurance covers almost nothing - so from the beginning gently inquired about fees (for example the walking boot, which I was ASSURED would be covered by insurance - and then, as I expected, wasn't- that cost $350). This wasn't invited by the lady at the front desk, who only continuously urged me to 'not worry' about it. The exams lasted about 30 seconds, and weren't comprehensive. When you call the phone number (ON THE BUSINESS CARD) any time besides business hours, somebody answers like it's a residential phone, then BARKS another number for you to call and "LEAVE A MESSAGE!" The doctor pushed a 'natural' anti-inflammatory cream at me which I purchased for $30 against my better judgement - without explanation. I requested an additional radiograph of my foot (out of curiosity - for my own purposes to view deformed bones). The image I was given is so dark that almost nothing is visible- I inquired, hoping to receive at least a partial refund of the $58 patient portion it cost to which the front office woman, Carmen said to me "Some x-rays are darker than others, that's just the way it is, THANK YOU, goodbye." (...to my face, mind you). ...I'm a health care provider, expected to expose and interpret (oral) radiographs daily. It's overexposed, or their developing chemistry is off. Nondiagnostic - but more than that disappointing because I was really excited to see it/use it to make something cool. There are more negatives, but this post is already too long. The POSITIVE: The woman in charge of accounts (who tucked back on the left) was VERY professional, patient, and knowledgeable regarding my bill (the patient portion I was urged 'not to worry' about)- which was NOT easy to understand without her direct guidance (apparently due to the software they use, she said). She was the most professional individual I encountered there. Hands down.
