Dr. Kales is a great guy but not too good of a podiatrist. When I came to the office the girls did…read moreall the work and they did it well. Very friendly and efficient. The doctor, Dr. Kales would step in for a minute and ask how you were and was friendly but that was it. He would leave the room after spending 2 minutes with you. Once he cut my toe and said if it got infected he would have to operate. He has a palsy in his head and his head shakes a lot poor guy. In my mind I said you're not doing any surgery on my feet. Much better Podiatrist is Dr. Jordan in Port Richey. I do believe this office is closed. I'm out front now looking at a space available sign.

Dr. Crook would be a better name. I went a month ago and the front office clerk informed me I had…read moreto meet a $500 deductible before my insurance would "kick in." I had to pay the full $165 charge on my credit card, even though I told her I knew they were in network and a specialist copay for me is $50. She lied and claimed to have called my insurance. I later called my insurance, who told me it should have been $50 and to call Dr. Kales office for a refund. I did, 3 weeks ago, and they assured me they would bill my insurance and issue me a refund in 3-6 weeks!!! Called today, and they have not even processed it yet! Billing manager said she would "look into it."!! At this point, I am disputing it with my credit card company to get my money back. This doctor just wants you to keep coming back to get as much money as possible out of you. Ended up going to an orthopedic specialist and am having surgery to correct my problem. Dr. Kales wanted me to get shoe inserts and a bunch of other stuff to string me along and take my money. I'm filing a grievance with the BBB. DO NOT GO HERE!! Should be 0 UPDATE: After about 5 months of disputing this with the insurance company and credit card, and filing a Better Business Bureau complaint, Dr. Kales so "graciously" refunded my $110 overcharge they should not have taken from me in the first place. I spent countless time on the phone over this matter, and their letter accompanying the check offered NO APOLOGY, but rather acted as though they had done the correct thing. WRONG. Instead, what they did was commit INSURANCE FRAUD. Again, stay away from this place at ALL COSTS!!

This review is only for the office side only, since I wasn't able to see the doctor. I called early…read morethis morning to schedule an appointment for an x-ray. I told them I was a cash patient. Simple and easy. No insurance to run, no bills to send. They placed me on hold and came back and told me that the "Financial Office" would call me back to discuss billing. I'm not sure why. I guess more cash patients would ultimately create a need for fewer office workers. Anyway, they never called back. I went to another doctor who took me in today.

The office staff got me right in after I described what was going on and that I was in absolute agony. Dr Kales took one look at my foot and told me I had a septic infection and I needed to go to the emergency room. He did take a culture and an Xray which confirmed I was septic. He took the time to document exactly what he wanted the emergency department to do when I got there. If it hadn't been for Dr Kales experience and knowledge I just don't know what the outcome would have been. I would trust him and not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. I am forever grateful to Dr Kales.
