Drawing from his experience in developing community podiatry offices in Racine and Beloit for the underprivileged, Dr. Michael Kokat ultimately chose to expand into Burlington, WI, which had a need for expert surgical podiatry services. After working with orthopedic surgeons and large podiatry groups in Milwaukee, Dr. Kokat felt he could provide exceptional service and value to his patients as an independent provider. His goal was to put the CARE back into patient care. In 2013, the company expanded into the Brookfield and Milwaukee area. It was clear that his service and dedication to patients was making a direct impact on the communities he served.

I recently made an online appointment for care at the New Berlin office. I never received a…read moreconfirmation, so I called to check. Evidentially I must have been interrupting the receptionist because she was extremely rude. I explained the situation and all she said was "you are not in our system and the Dr is in surgery all day" Well thats all fine and good, but I made the appointment online and that was the time it offered me... She had nothing to say so we hung up and I will go with another clinic. I am sure the doctors are great, but maybe they should have a little talk with the person who answers the phones...

I saw Dr. Amiot in the Oak Creek office for overpronation of my feet. He was with me for about 5…read moreminutes, just enough time for me to tell him i had foot pain and to take an impression for orthodics with foam. Never asked any further questions and advised my orthotics would be ready in 4 weeks. When they came in they were just flimsy foam pads like I had bought at Target. That time, I did not see Dr. Amiot but an assistant. The orthodics were too big for my shoes and so the assistant cut them down with a scissors to fit. They do nothing for my problem. I was told to come back in a month. I found Dr. Amiot very aloof and unfriendly, as was the girl at the desk. I would never go back to that office nor to Dr. Amiot.

The staff is usually friendly, but…read morethey do not seem interested in following the progress of my condition, as they only took photos for comparison months after I started treatment and only after I requested we do so. Today I was sat in the lobby as usual and made to wait 20 minutes for my treatment then rushed in and told we were 20 minutes behind. I mentioned an extra doing an step mentioned at my previous visit and was told we wouldn't have time today as they were running 20 minutes behind. I then asked why there were behind as they are usually on time and was told it was me. I said absolutely not, I've been waiting for 20 minutes in the lobby. The response was a half hearted apology and admitting they did not know I was left waiting. I will not be back.

I can't begin to tell you how wonderful Dr. Pauers is…read more I came to him by a client of my dog walking company. I had surgery scheduled and it was the 23rd hour. Dr. Pauers staff managed to talk me off the proverbial ledge and got me in within a weeks time. It was the best appointment I've ever had. I was seeing another practitioner in Racine. I felt like this practice was a cafeteria without any personalized or special attention, and that I was simply a number. I don't feel this way with Dr. Pauers. Dr. Pauers took a long time to explain my condition at our first meeting. He didn't candy coat what was happening, yet he gave me hope that he could help me. Six months later, he has given me orthotics, cortisone shots and great stretching exercises to do. I love going to see him because he is such a wonderful Dr. Anyone who needs a podiatrist should look no further; he is exceptional.

Be careful if you are going to this place or any foot specialist without any knowledge of how your…read morebody works biomechanically. I sent my brother to them after having a traumatic R leg injury that caused him to lose about a half inch of leg length in the hopes that they could measure his leg length and create a custom lift (not orthotic) to make up for the discrepancy that he will never be able to fix from the accident. That is ALL. Any pronation or supination issues that have developed because of his unfortunate loss in leg length since the accident or even before the accident are fixable through massage and corrective exercises everyone. So Dr. Guhl proceeded to basically tell my brother how his whole lower body was going to break down including needing hip replacements in the coming years if he did not get orthotics in both shoes to support the changes that have occurred to his feet (because he also fractured both hip sockets in the accident and did not get them cemented by the surgeon per my suggestion in order to reduce the risk of needing hip replacements due to arthritis, which i fully believe he would have needed at a young age had they been cemented instead of allowed to naturally heal like they did). The thing is, our feet and the muscles in our legs are meant to be a natural shock system for our body (look up the Windlass mechanism if you don't believe me) Putting orthotics in shoes in order to correct an imbalance that he was not born with, but instead adapted to, is exactly what will cause further breakdown of his joints. She even went so far as to tell a 24 year old kid that he cannot do anymore high impact activities, including jogging, until he gets the orthotics to support his feet properly. I know everybody has heard of the phrase "if you don't use it you lose it", well using orthotics for something that your body was meant to do, a.k.a. windlass mechanism, means that your body no longer has to use that shock system in order to support its joints. So by prescribing orthotics to my brother instead of just giving him a lift to even out his leg length and correct for something that he will never be able to fix, she is effectively taking away his body's ability to correct for itself and forcing it to rely on orthotics until the day he dies. So if you're looking to rely on orthotics for the rest of your life to replace a system that your body was naturally born with in order to support your joints then this is the place for you! Otherwise, I recommend having the foot specialist correct imbalance that is not fixable via exercise and hard work (i.e. a leg length discrepancy from literally getting parts of your shin bone taken out of your leg or a shorter femur from birth) and leave the rest to yourself and a massage therapist/personal trainer/ PT who is trained in that sort of work. Also, as another heads up, most leg length discrepancy's are due to misaligned hips or foot injuries that have gone unsolved....those are not something that an orthotic needs to be "relied on" for. Now after saying that I just want to clarify the Dr. Guhl is not a bad person. She is clearly just doing what she has been trained in and she believes that all foot imbalances and hip issues can be corrected with an orthotic. If you are the kind of person that just wants a quick fix and does not want to put in the hard work, time, and money to fix the source of the issue then orthotics are definitely the right option. I am just here to tell you that there is another option besides orthotics, which she did not educate my brother about AT ALL! He called me all excited that she had figured out how his foot was so imbalanced from just wearing the one orthotic that he had previously been prescribed and told him how everything was just going to get worse until he put orthotics in both shoes. My advice is to be skeptical when somebody only gives you one option out. The purpose of this post is to educate everybody who reads it, including Dr. Guhl, and to hopefully provide people with the awareness that some things in the body can never be reversed (leg length discrepancy from a loss of bone) and will need a lift. And some people (very minimal amount) are born with a foot deformity that will require a proper orthotic to make up for what was never there. If you do not feel like you are one of those people, then I want you to strongly consider not getting orthotics because I want the best for you just like Dr. Guhl does!

It's been two months and I haven't heard anything from his office. I called after two weeks and left a message but didn't get a call back. The day of the appointment I registered for their online health file and while it shows my appointment, there's nothing else on it. Dr. Guhl was a nice enough guy and seems competent but a business is only as good as your weakest link and I assume that there's a problem at the front desk. I wouldn't have written a review but I just got a second notice for my share of the bill which comes to $382. I complained to my insurance company but of course they paid it. This is a tough time for small businesses; you need to stand behind your service.

My Physical Therapist recommended my seeing him at Northwest Surgery Center. He is most knowledgeable and very kind. I could not believe how he knew exactly what was going on inside my feet! I was amazed by his knowledge and his caring manner! His staff is top notch. Nurses were wonderful! Any question or concerns were addressed completely for me. I had hammertoes also. We did the surgery on both feet, a day apart. Yes, there is some pain afterward, but I was kept very comfortable. Follow-ups were great too. My surgery was 5 months ago and I am so very pleased.

I initially went to Dr.Wilson for an ingrown toe nail which he took care of with no problems. For…read moreyears, I have been looking for a foot doctor to correct arthritis that had set in my big toe as the result of a fall on ice. I could not put a shoe on comfortably without being in massive pain. Dr. Wilson successfully did the surgery. I loved the results of his work that I went back to have the other foot done. He corrected another doctor's ( an orthopedic surgeon's )medical mess up in which he removed a screw that was displaced in my foot and made my second toe proportion with the other toes. This other doctor shortened my big toe so much that my shortened big toe wasn't in proportion to the other toes. (A real mess) He was excellent at explaining how he was going to correct the problems. Why I will continue to go to Dr. Wilson: I love that he is a board certified foot and ankle specialist and that is the sole reason I go to him. He is an expert at what he does. I believe if you have a problem with your knee, then you go to a knee specialist. If you have a problem with your elbow, then go to an elbow specialist. I needed him to make my feet proportion with the other toes and he did just that. He was able to successfully remove enough bone from the second toe to make my foot look normal. I needed him to fix the pain in the joint of my big toe, he successfully did just that. I needed him to remove the upside down screw that was displaced in my other foot, he successfully did just that. He is a doctor that puts his heart and soul into his practice. He is a doctor of integrity, knowledge, and has great wisdom. If you catch him on a good day, he might even sing while he is working. He is a professional and I chose him because of that. Especially if you are going to work on my feet!!! I needed a doctor that can think quick on their feet and that is certainly, Dr. Wilson. He saw me weekly to make sure infection was not setting in and will not hesitate to give up a Saturday if he remotely thinks there is a problem where a patient needs to be seen right away. I am happy with my results. I have normal looking feet now. I can't wait for the summer to get a pedicure and wear sandals. For years I would not wear sandals because of my weird looking feet. Dr. Wilson made me whole again.

This business regularly offers a "free foot screening without obligation (excluding x-rays and…read moretreatment)" through a monthly mailer. After experiencing foot pain for months, and having tried many healing options, I went here. After being told that I've done quite a bit already and perhaps need physical therapy (elsewhere) I was given a prescription and sent on my way. What wasn't explained to me was that the "free foot screening" went out the window once Dr Nute wrote a prescription for a pain medication that I didn't need and never filled. BEWARE that this business is not clear about when the free foot screening ends and the "treatment" begins. After sharing this concern with them, I was told to pay the bill or I'll be sent to collections. I guess I learned my lesson... and wanted to share it with others.
