Dr. Ellner has bee my podiatrist for quite awhile. He was recommended by a friend. I have issues with walking because of my age. He is very accommodating with my feet problems. Very kind and friendly and gentle. Has phoned me in the past to check on me. My family all go to him. Highly recommend. Mary C. Newark, Calif. read more

He may be good but the staff is unprofessional. Office is unorganized and it reflects on the practice.

Dr Ellner is a great podiatrist. I have been his patient for several years. He is thorough, kind, patient and knowledgeable! I highly recommend him. His staff is great as well. If you see him you will not be disappointed. Jana Coleman read more

Dr. Ellner is a healthcare provider that anyone in need would appreciate seeing. He is patient, kind, and has a great sense of humor. Not only does he provide a diagnosis after conducting detailed and comprehensive tests, but he also explains the reasoning behind it. I would definitely recommend Dr. Ellner to anyone looking for a podiatrist. Scheduling is easy--just call the office, and they will provide availability. read more

Dr. Ellner truly loves his profession and his level of care exceeds expectations. In addition, his front office staff were helpful, prompt and professional ~~~ read more

Dr. Ellner was very patient and attentive to my mom's needs. As an elderly woman, her feet are delicate, and I've always been nervous about trimming them myself. Dr. Ellner gently clipped and trimmed her nails with great care, and it made a big difference for both of us. He took the time to have a one-on-one conversation with my mom, truly listening to her concerns, which meant a lot to her. Now, every time I puts on her socks and shoes, she talks about her visit with Dr. Ellner. She loves how her nails turned out. Thank you so much! read more

Dr. Ellner provided excellent care during my recent visit. He was attentive, explained everything clearly, and genuinely cared about my recovery. The office staff was welcoming and attentive. I highly recommend Dr. Ellner for anyone needing podiatric care. read more

Had the best experience with Dr Ellner. I came in for ingrown toenails and by far the most painless procedure I've ever had. He was very gentle and explained what he was doing with every step of the process. He removed both ingrown toenails within 30 minutes, AMAZING. At the end of the visit he gave me detailed instructions for after care, he was very professional and kind. Thank you! read more

Great doctor . Friendly and very helpful. Having been going to him for over 11 years.*****

Dr. Ellner is the best! From the first appointment, through surgery and afterwards he is professional, skilled and up to date on the procedures. But what makes him truly exceptional is that he really cares. He explains things carefully and with humor. I cannot recommend Dr. Ellner highly enough! read more

Dr. Ellner was great from the beginning. He has great sense of humor. Dr. Ellner is probably one of the nicest doctors that I have met. He is very compassionate and caring and he is also always friendly. He takes time to make sure that I am comfortable. If you are having a problem with your feet, I highly suggest, Dr.Ellner. read more

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Ellner. My mother was referred to Dr. Ellner by her doctor since she has bad arthritis in her feet, and she is a diabetic. Therefore, she needed someone who could trim her deformed toe nails without causing any injury to her toes/feet. In diabetics, scrapes, scratches, or blisters on your feet can become an ulcer. These deep, open wounds can allow bacteria into your bloodstream. You could become very ill or risk needing an amputation if you don't seek care. That is why we decided to have a Podiatrist take care of my mother's feet. Anyways, we found doctor Ellner to be very personable, competent, patient, and caring. We have seen Dr. Ellner for at least 4 times, and he has always seen us on time. That shows you that he and his office staff value your time as well as their own. Since we have had such positive experiences with Dr. Ellner, I have referred my fiancé and I made an appointment for myself to take care of our foot problems as well. If anyone is looking for a great podiatrist in the Fremont area, I would highly recommend Dr. Ellner. read more

Poor customer service. No one from the office call to confirm new patient appointment or offer location. Referral was never completed. If your practice can't support new patients, then don't accept new patients! read more

Dr. Ellner is a very nice and professional doctor. He has a sense of humor and kind and patiently answered all our questions. I highly recommend people to see him. read more

I took my mom to see Dr. Ellner. This is the 1st time that my mom ever have this type of care. Her two feet were full of fungus and some of her toes with double nails. Also one of her feet has callus. They look very ugly. Dr. Ellner provided very courteous, gentle and professional services. He spent almost one hour on my mom's feet without any breaks. At end, my mom is very happy with the result. Her two feet looks complete new and nice. She walked in with great pain with her two problem feet. She walked out without any pain. I have to say that Dr. Ellner did an amazing job!!! One thing that never happened at any other doctor's office. Dr. Ellner is on time (I believe he is even a little bit earlier than our schedule). Thank you Dr. Ellner!!! read more

Had foot pain for 8 months that was unresolved. Dr. Ellner diagnosed it quickly and efficiently. My foot pain got better almost immediately. He recommended orthotics to adjust my foot and was conservative in his recommendations, which I always appreciate. Additionally, he was humorous, which makes a visit to the podiatrist a bit less dreadful than it sounds! read more

Dr Ellner is an outstanding podiatrist! I had the forethought to bring x-rays (and result facts) taken when my foot had issues. He is thorough with his examination, pleasant demeanor, and quite helpful with his suggestions. He even referred me to a good doctor in the town I will be moving to. All in all, a awesome experience and heartily recommend him to those wishing great help for their feet. read more

I have been coming to Dr. Ellner for the past, wow like 5 to 6 years? On and off of course. But I initially came to him for an ingrown toe nail on one border of my toe then the other toe, then the other border, etc. So I've had my fair share of appointments here! Dr.Ellner is great! He's hilarious and he always makes you feel comfortable when you're about to get any procedures! Before during and even after! He always lets you know what he's going to do. During he always made sure I wasn't in any pain that I didn't need to be, and after he always followed up and was thorough with after care! My problem was ingrown toe-nails because that is just how the borders of my nail grow and so he suggested a permanent solution and he's actually done it on both borders of both my toes! I'm not going to lie it's not fun to get poked in the toe with a numbing needle but he walks me through the steps and it's doesn't feel so bad! I guess my only complaint is that because he's so great and everybody loves him, getting an appointment is a pain! Especially when his receptionist is curt and won't work with you and your schedule and instead gets frustrated with the patient. His other female receptionists on the other hand are so kind and welcoming! My toe nails now don't even look like they've had anything done to them, all normal! And now I'll never have to worry about an ingrown toe nail infection again thanks to Dr. Ellner! read more

Dr. Laurence Ellner is an excellent doctor with top skills and enthusiastic in patient care. I feel very lucky to have him as my doctor!

Great doctor. Super nice. Took his time. He's clearly an expert in his field and cares for his patients. Not much else to say... I highly recommend Dr Ellner. read more

Dr. Ellner took care of the problems I have with my feet. He knew exactly what to do and now my feet feel so much better. He also told me what to do to prevent future problems. read more

Helpful, thoughtful and hilarious. He's sweet and he cares about you and your business. Very professional but also a great doctor overall. Love him! read more

I give Dr. Ellner five stars in all the different areas of health care that I could think about: He is has an excellent side manners, makes the patient feel totally at ease. He is very professional, knowledgeable, listens to the patient, straight to the point and yet kind. He is one of the best care providers I have seen. I had persistent low back pain for years, I went to see different health care providers among others two Rheumatologist and an Orthopedic Dr. none of these arrogant "big shots" resolve the problem didn't even have a clue. Dr. Ellner Diagnosed the problem after asking me some questions and doing a thorough exam of my feet, he gave me his opinion and recommendation and my persistent pain for years went away. I would recommend Dr. Ellner without any hesitation. read more

Dr. Ellner has to be the most humane (and knowledgeable) medical professional I've ever experienced - and I've been around the block a few times so to speak. He was able to foster my patience and cooperation for almost 5 months because of an issue following a surgical procedure, which was no easy feat considering I'm generally short on patience and choosy about my cooperation. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. read more

I totally recommend Dr. Ellner. He listens, is funny and very honest.

Dr. Ellner is the greatest. The only reason I have stayed with Hill Physicians is that Dr. Ellner is "in-network" with my insurance.

Dr.Ellner is absolutely amazing!! He knows how to take care of my pain and fix my feet to not hurt. He's extremely funny and knowledgeable about his job. I'm so glad he's my doctor, I couldn't ask for better!! I wish there was an even bigger star limit to show my appreciation!! read more

I don't normally do reviews, but I feel I have to say something to express my gratitude towards him. I have a very painful condition in my feet that requires custom made orthotics; before I met Dr Ellner, I was told that none was capable of making these orthotics in Fremont, I was suffering. I was so happy when I finally met Dr Ellner and he made orthotics that took care of my feet, no more pain in my feet! He also takes care if my son's feet as well. He is VERY knowledgeable in his profession, and he's very friendly, he also patiently answered my questions to help me better control my condition. He is the best! read more

My family has been seeing Dr. Ellner for many years. Usually he is very helpful and kind. He however has horrible office reception staff in the front. I recently attempted to make an appointment to see the doctor. I was having a very difficult time with pain in my feet and they were not able to see me. They made an appointment for two weeks out despite the fact that I needed urgent care. When I asked for a referral of another doctor in my area they said that it was not their office policy to give any help to anyone in this way. They went on to say, " we will not give you the name of another doctor, you will have to contact your doctor's office and they can give you a referral ". When I asked them if they could make a suggestion to their doctor to maybe change that policy in the future the office staffer told me the doctor doesn't want to do that. He continued to repeat that to me as I explained to him that I was only asking him to make a suggestion as in pass on my information to the doctor. I explained to him that good customer service would dictate that he only say sure ma'am I'll do that, I'm sorry we could not help you more. He never got that... Instead, he won the conversation by repeating himself and sounding like an apathetic robot. For this reason the office gets a big fail. The guy on the phone might have won that day, but they lost a patient as well. read more
