Only it wasn't quite that simple. I was experiencing a symphony of pain with every step. It was not deliberate, but I did not know how to fully "translate" or communicate what I was experiencing. Dr. Niktash was patient and was able to unravel the mysteries over our visits. It wasn't just the injury; it was inflammation, nerve, a lifetime of problems due to my flat foot, and I waited months after the injury. It's rare to find a doctor that makes me feel "heard". I'm so grateful! It's a year later and I just completed a 30 mile weeklong walking challenge. It took me a while to find Dr. Niktash. Luckily, if you're reading this, you've found her too!

I paid for the inserts, paid for the cortisone shots and therapy. I did this all out of network because I figured that as a runner, he would know feet. My pain didn't heal. At all. I still walk around with pain in my several hundred dollar inserts. Then, a few months later, I get a bill saying that I still owe money that my insurance didn't pay. I told the woman, very nicely, that while the cost was not much, I couldn't pay for something that I didn't receive: good medical care. Well, she disagreed and sent me to a collections agency. I was taken aback by this. Truly taken aback. If a patient says, "I still hurt," should the doctor call you back to see what was wrong? If I wanted cortisone shots, I would have just gone in network. Not out of network to be taken to a collections agency. Shameful business practice and I will, in case you guessed, never be back.

I've been putting off getting new orthodics for about five years, out of fear of non-coverage, needing referrals, etc. Finally, i was desperate enough to face whatever potential financial hardship would come my way. From first phone call to the end of the appointment, they were great! The woman at the front desk was very friendly on the phone and when we were discussing appointment times, she was able to get me in that evening due to a cancellation- sweet! Also, she called me 20 minutes later to get a phone number for my insurance so that she could find out whether my plan would cover orthodics, which I thought was great. I had to wait about 45 minutes before I saw Dr. Petko, which was slightly frustrating. However, all the staff and Dr. Petko were extremely apologetic throughout my visit and the doctor let me know that an emergency broken ankle had come in... certainly more important than my foot moldings, so I understood and didn't mind that they made me wait! Like the other yelp review, Dr. Petko is very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time talking to me about my long history of running, injuries, and physical therapy. I don't know if it was because I had to wait so long or because i was the last appointment of the night, but it was refreshing to not have a doctor do the standard "friendly-but-i-got-another-appointment-in-fifteen-minutes-so-lets-hurry-it-up" attitude. I didn't find him to have a "stoic demeanor", though- he was very friendly and i felt like he talked to me runner-to-runner. It felt nice to have a doctor who can relate to and wants to look after my ability to continue doing what I love to do. Would definitely recommend!

He caused horrible pain and drew blood on every toe except one pinky toe. One toe bled so much it left a puddle of blood on the floor.
