The first thing I was told to do was file my infected toenails until they were as thin as other toenails. I partly filed one toenail, and then my back hurt, So I stopped. My back continue to hurt for a few days, so I went to a chiropractor, I sent her a message via Piedmont, my chart, asking if they could file the nails for me because it hurt my back so much, she did not reply. I called the main office and ask them to ask her to reply to my message, she still did not. My back was still hurting so I went to the chiropractor again in two weeks. They told me some stretches to do several times each day, and after I did them for about 10 days, my back felt a lot better. At that one appointment, they sold me special soap to use on my toenails and some liquid to paint on my toenails to clear up the infection, the cost was $60! Now I need to go to a different podiatrist, who may or may not want me to use that same liquid, so the $60 may just be lost.

Dr. Jimenez is a fantastic podiatrist and an equally wonderful person. We've had the pleasure of…read moregetting to know her outside the office with our daughters playing volleyball together so, when our daughter needed care and advice for a foot condition sustained during practice/play, it was a no-brainer to reach out and schedule some time for her to take a look. She was super nice, and very straightforward, explaining our daughter's condition and the options for treatment, depending on how it progresses over time. And absolutely no pressure to consider surgery anytime soon, if ever. Not to be overlooked, even though our daughter is a minor, Dr. Jimenez made sure to speak directly to her, acknowledging her role as the patient and ensuring that she felt seen and heard. That, in and of itself, means a lot. And I cannot say enough about just how awesome of a person she is beyond the clinical setting, too. Additionally, her office staff are equally kind and eager to assist. Everyone there, from front office administrative to back office clinical staff, came across as happy and enjoying their roles there and that speaks volumes about the provider(s) they work for and the environment they have cultivated. You really can't ask for a better provider and I would not hesitate to wholeheartedly recommend her to those in need of a podiatrist in the Athens and surrounding areas. Go into it understanding that medicine is complex and every patient's situation is unique, and you won't be disappointed.

Being new to the area, we did a search for a podiatrist in the area and found Dr. Herron and made an appointment. My son was very disappointed when he returned stating the Doctor didn't wear gloves, used tips laying on the counter top for the machine to freeze the warts off and only spent 5 minutes with him. If that wasn't bad enough, his front office staff deciding my son was handsome and a "good catch," decided to write their names and phone numbers on the back of his appointment card. One of the two found him on FaceBook and friended him. This is a HIPPA violation to use client information for personal use. I still have the appointment card. My son never mentioned it. I found the card on the floor in his room. I wanted to take action against both of those young ladies, but my son asked me not to. So, a bad review is my response to their inappropriate and unprofessional behavior, let alone the lax in professionalism by the doctor.

He has over 20 years of experience and is honestly one of the best people you'll ever have the experience of meeting. Very reasonable and will do anything he can for his patients.

His office is capable of performing many procedures in-house based on patient needs as another way to help you save money on expensive hospital bills. Experienced with diabetic care, wounds, foot and ankle injuries and pain (including plantar fasciitis, bunions or hammertoes),orthotics, skin issues relating to the foot and ankle area, plantar warts, and ingrown toenails, among other problems.

I strongly do NOT recommend this doctor. he performed surgery to remove a significant section of…read morethe toenail of the great toe on my left foot also removing flesh on the outside of the same toe with NOTHING to kill or lessen the pain. i was screaming in pain but he just kept right on working and then proceeded to do a similar procedure on the other toe again with no injection of lidocaine or any other type of pain killer until AFTER the surgeries were performed. then he had his assistant squirt some kind of medication on them that did ease the pain considerably. I went back to him in 2 weeks and he did similar procedures again with no pain relief. also noone gave me instructions regarding the care post op. i have diabetes and only went to see him to maybe have my toenails clipped. he never told me ahead of time just what he was going to do to my toes, he just proceeded to cut my toes open. i am only posting this to warn potential patients of his performance as a dpm. i switched doctors and he was appalled at my story and at the looks of my toes. i am a retired nurse, and i never in all my 30 years of working with doctors ever encountered anyone like him. i hope this helps someone.
