I asked why and they said so I could do paperwork. She gave me an iPad to fill out my medical history on which took 2 minutes, when I brought it back she said "well we will still have to check if they can see you", mind you my appointment time hadn't even started yet. Was called back 15 minutes after my scheduled appointment time, nurse that brought me back did not confirm date of birth, and when I waited for the Dr. (for another 15 minutes) the door to their office was cracked open and I could hear everything they were talking about relating to other patients. Dr. did not even introduce herself, told me they did not have enough time to do my procedure and sent me on my way. Respectfully it was a very bad experience.

I have been very pleased with the continued care I have received.

Dr. Briana David has listened well, adjusted care to my needs, and kept me on my feet! She has responded to questions sent via their portal in a timely manner, and the communication with multiple staff ahead of my surgery went well. I also have appreciated the office staff. Yes, there are wait times but I haven't experienced anything beyond what is typical for any doctor's office. Truth is there is only so much any doctor can do, the rest is under nature and your control. Arthritis/neuromas will occur. But if you follow the doctor's instructions you can slow the progression (to some degree) and definitely aid in your recovery. Your shoes may not look pretty (though styles are improving) but it's a small price to pay to keep walking. I wish I had seen a podiatrist much earlier.

Two weeks later I returned for a quick follow-up. I was much improved, and I did purchase a set of orthotics as had been recommended at the first visit. Visit was very brief with no X-rays or anything else. No mention of a co-pay when I checked out. Several weeks later I received a bill. She had charged and billed insurance as much as she had charged for the first visit, but this time there were no x-rays, no walking boot, no diagnosis, nothing. Again I was billed another $45.00.

I asked for a different boot as he wanted me to stay in it longer. He literally told me no, just continue to use the one I had. Then he told me I needed these specific insoles, they were 64.00 and insurance didn't cover. I'm on disability and a very limited income. After I purchased them, I found them on Amazon for 15.00 less. Shame on me for not looking there. At the second appointment he gave me a list of foot exercises, why not the first appointment? This would have helped the first time right? Then he told me to get this certain shoes, gave me a paper with the store name and I asked how much and he said around 150.00. I said I can't afford that, and he pointed to my sketchers and said those are junk, you need to get these. They weren't 150.00 they're 250.00. I absolutely cannot afford those no matter what. Using the insoles have been somewhat helpful. I went on Amazon and got some recovery shoes, same kind (different brand) for a ton less money. Then he scheduled my 3rd appointment for 3 weeks out. At 50.00 a pop and him being a foot specialist I feel like I shouldn't be going every three weeks and each time trying to get more money out of me. I had the same problem 10 years ago in another state and had a series of 3 injections which took care of the problem for 10 years. I asked him for them and he said no. I asked why and he said we try these other treatments first. I get that, and I get he's the doctor but I also know what worked before and if it worked why not again? Because he wants to get as many appointments out of me as he can first? Continue to upsell? I feel like he doesn't "hear" me, I feel he tries to upsell, and just wants me to keep coming back. I can't afford that. I simply don't have it in my budget. I just do t feel he's understanding that. I won't go back for my follow up,I'll go somewhere else and I would not recommend this place.
