Dr. Ouska-Grififn was the best! I had some pretty bad foot pain and she helped identify the issue relatively quickly. Her office is located in the loop, so easy to get to. She examined everything very thorougly and was able to explain the exact problem, how to treat it, and how to prevent it going forward. She was very methodical with her tests, I could tell she never leaves a stone unturned and looks at every possible cause of injury. If i ever have foot problems again, I will go back to her without question. read more

I've been happy to live for many years in Chicago, where one can find virtually any kind of doctor, and there are lots of choices. I like that, because I'm choosy. Generally, it's been easy to find really good doctors... but when I needed a podiatrist! Wow! It's like the Wild West out there in Podiatry World. You can wind up with someone who will do you more harm than good. How do I describe the sinking feeling you get when you realize that a doctor in whom you've placed your trust actually does not know what s/he is doing? After these early bad experiences, it was such a relief to find Dr. Florence! She is everything you want a doctor to be. When she took me on as a patient, it was a full-out commitment. She had my back from the first day until... until, sadly for me, she left Chicago. Her dedication and professionalism are exemplary, and you Wisconsin folk are lucky to have her now. If you have a foot problem: Do not pass 'Go'...... Go directly to Dr. Florence. read more

I felt very comfortable with Florence on the first meeting. She's extremely personable and very knowledgeable. She thoroughly explaind why I was experiencinf foot pain and informed me of a condition I have that has been the cause of most of my pain. She went through all possible options available to me without being to pushy and I appreciate that. She will definitely be my go to for any future podiatry related problems. Shout out to Gloria, her assistant, as well! She's really sweet too:) read more

It's always nice to have small-town very personal service in downtown. Had a great experience with Dr. Ouska-Griffin... Didn't need fancy water fountains and lounge-like waiting area. Did I mention that I'm able to run better now? read more

Hurt my foot running a marathon and for some reason want to keep running....so i made a appointment with Dr. Ouska-Griffin and she was great. Too often these days when you see the doc, they say a bunch of mumbo jumbo, and send you on your way. Dr. Ouska-Griffin took her time to explain exactly what happened to me, multiple options on how it can be fixed, and how it can be prevented. I chose to go the conservative route and am hoping for the best. Highly recommend if you have a running injury! Thanks Dr. Ouska-Griffin, you're one foot ahead of the competition! read more

Very patient and informative. I arrived at least 15 mins late for my appointment but dr ouska-griffin tried her best to meet my needs and the next appointment. I never felt rushed or a reduction in the quality of service. Dr ouska-griffin provided me a variety of options to address my chronic foot pain (jammed/stiff toe and low arch). I never felt pushed for any specific course of treatment. No rush for surgery or cortisone shots. I highly recommend dr ouska-griffin for anyone that needs a good podiatrist. So convenient having access to her downtown. I'm looking forward to my customized orthotics. I overheard dr ouska-griffin making tailored adjustments for a patient's orthotics and its was pleasant hearing her patiently work and make necessary adjustments to the patients needs. read more

Very easy and pleasant experience---she has a small office in the loop, very convenient. I called in at 11AM, got a 2:30 appointment, and waited in the waiting area for about 30 seconds before she saw me. Had to go in for an ingrown-toenail which of course is no fun----she explained everything, cleaned everything up, and sent me on the way. 5 days later---things are fine, no pain, no discomfort, nothing. She provided great follow-up, gave me her cell phone number for any problems and was just overall, a very pleasant doctor to deal with (which many are not). She didn't rush me in & out and made sure she answered all my questions before leaving. I would recommend to anyone and everyone. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Ouska for about 6 months and she has completely changed my life. (TMI warning) I had a bad case of plantar warts that had gone ignored for far too long. I'd seen a previous podiatrist and his solution was to throw a pill at the problem and hope it would go away (shocker, it didnt!). Needless to say, I had a bit of trust issues when I met Dr. Ouska. However, within the first month of seeing her I could see a difference! She even made the effort to bill my insurance a certain way so my 6+ months worth of visits wouldnt be so costly. I truly appreciate Dr. Ouska and her staff for solving an issue that caused so much insecurity! read more

Dr. Ouska was a sweetheart! The office was able to squeeze me in super fast, even for a new patient, and were right on time for my appointment. The office manager was very thorough, and Dr. Ouska was very sweet, patient, honest and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend this practice! read more

Dr Ouska-Griffin is fantastic and I recommend her highly! After years of dealing with an ingrown toenail issue, my husband finally agreed to see a podiatrist. My go to search engine is yelp. We found Dr. Ouska-Griffin was practicing in the Kenosha area and had 4.5 stars. After reading the reviews she sounded like a great doctor and a perfect fit. My husband called immediately and was able to get in within two days. The toenail procedure was quick and virtually painless. Her directions for home care following the procedure were clear and concise, and he was able to purchase the necessary medication and bandages on site. He had follow up appointments to check for infection and healing; and in January will complete the process to end a life long ingrown toenail problem. Dr. Ouska-Griffin was constantly concerned about pain levels and always kept my husband informed during the procedure. Dr Ouska-Griffin was an excellent doctor and I would highly recommend her and Weil Foot Clinic to anyone in Kenosha area and the SE Wisconsin! read more

Just got off the phone with Dr. Ouska-Griffin and, I gotta say, wow. First of all, she answered the phone herself! What a thing, in this day and age! I told her a little bit about my situation, which is none of your business, dear reader, but she gave me more help than I ever could have asked for or anticipated, right over the phone. I was hoping to get some insight from a more conservative doc. She delivered on that count, and gave me two excellent referrals to doctors she trusted. This was exceptional service, way above and beyond what could possibly be expected. I mean, this call was free, obviously! While we only had a 5-10 minute phone conversation, this is the type of doctor I would trust with all my needs within her specialty. If you are in need of a podiatrist, I am incredibly convinced Dr. Ouska-Griffin won't steer you wrong. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this doctor!!! I came in to see her with ankle pain that kept coming and going over the course of nine months. After examining me and doing her own x-rays (yes--she does her own X-rays!), she told me I had tendinitis and I was wearing the entirely wrong athletic shoes. She saw me again two weeks later once I had gotten new athletic shoes and made custom orthotics for my feet (guess what-- she does that too!)!! She is highly skilled in her craft, kind, and a wonderful doctor. I'm a lifer here and would recommend anyone to her. read more

What a fantastic doctor. I'm so bummed that she's moved her practice to Kenosha, but if you're there, please see her. She's great at keeping feet in working order, and her bedside manner is wonderful. I saw her regularly for a problem with my right foot, and she made things so much better. I only wish she still had her office in downtown Chicago. read more

I visited Dr. Ouska-Griffin yesterday for the first time after reading all her 5-Star reviews and already I am feeling improvements with her diagnosis. She is thorough in explaining how the foot works. I totally got everything. She is clear, patient, and very professional. She gets 5-Stars. She's got my business. What a rare treat to have such a caring doctor who is interested in your foot health. read more

I went here with big worries of surgery or something else very expensive after talking to another doctor about my foot. The other doctors first measure was to try and put me in orthotics, but being a running coach I knew that I had a very neutral stride and stance and a fairly normal arch. After not being able to train because the pain in my foot was so bad. I decided to go to another doctor and see what they said. I read the reviews on Dr. Ouska-Griffin's Yelp and I figured I would give her a try. After describing my problem and chatting about my life style she said "Well I am not going to lie orthotics are great and they make me a lot of money, but I don't think you need them". Then she took a look at the foot that was giving me issues and found a deep callus shaved it off and said that will more than likely fix my issue. I was in disbelief that a callus could cause as much pain as I was feeling. Here I stand a month later running like I am 22 again! Thank you for your honesty and all your help! I have already sent other people your way! read more

I went to Doctor Ouska for two different problems. Very friendly, knowledgeable and caring doctor and staff. She helped me with my issues and I would go back only to her if I ever need a podiatrist. read more

Dr. Griffin helped me with both pain in my foot and with athletes foot that wouldn't go away. She was also conscientious about costs to me which was refreshing. Would recommend! read more

On a whim I decided to consult Yelp to find a podiatrist and I am so happy to have found Dr. Ouska-Griffin. Luckily I was able to get in at short notice. After a few months of discomfort, the Dr was able to fix me up within a matter of a few minutes, I was off on my way feeling much better. She was super pleasant and very helpful - if I ever have a problem again requiring a podiatrist, I'll be certain to call her right away! Her downtown Chicago office is very easy - just in front of Macy's....hint, you can use the Valet on either side of the street and park for up to 2 hours for USD 10 - a good deal in that area! read more

Amazing experience! I am in town doing a show and was having a great deal of pain with my ingrown toenails. I know...gross. :( She dealt with my problem quickly and professionally and had me dancing again the following day! She is incredibly kind and compassionate. She really, really cares about her patients. I would highly recommend her to anyone in any kind of foot pain. Fabulous doc! read more

I had bad surgery performed by a dermatologist in Naperville under my right ankle (to remove a mole) and was hurting on a lump that formed from the scar for years after. I found Dr Ouska-Griffin when I moved into the city. She made a thorough diagnosis, fitted me with orthotics that worked (I had ones made before by other podiatrists for flat feet, etc, but none worked better than ones sold at drug stores), explained to me why prednisone shots would not be a good idea (because the site was too close to some critical structure) and put me on a cream ordered from a compounding pharmacy. I was a bit skeptical that a cream could work to dissolve a stubborn lump, but was willing to give it a 3-month try. A month into my tentative trial, the lump under my heel was gone and I was walking better than in the last 8 years. Dr Ouska-Griffin gave me back my freedom to walk and live normal without pain every step. I am most appreciative of her care and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent podiatrist. read more

I was preparing to run a marathon when I went to Dr. Ouska-Griffin Florence about three weeks ago. I was terrified that I wouldn't be able to run it after months of hard work running because after long runs I could barely walk in the morning. She prescribed me exactly what I needed in a professional and courteous way. I just ran my longest run yesterday of 20 miles, and because of the doctor's help, I woke up being able to walk and was pain free!! The staff is extremely polite, professional and helpful. You can really tell they care. I highly recommend this doctor - and this is only the second recommendation I've ever given so I feel pretty strongly about it lol I'm just so grateful for the care I received! Thank you!! read more

Dr. Ouska-Griffin is Fabulous! I had problems I thought I would need to suffer with my whole life but a friend who had the same issue referred me to her. Within a month or two the problem was completely resolved and I have never had an issue with it again. She is who you pray for when you have foot problems. read more

My friend referred me to Dr. Ouska-Griffin. She is wonderful. What a difference from going to the orthopedic surgeon (whose claim to fame is that he works with Bears, Blackhawks, etc.) I used to see. Dr. Ouska-Griffin spends time with you, and is very knowledgeable about all sorts of issues, especially important for myself - as I was born with a severe club foot that required several surgeries as I was growing up, as well as a shorter leg and spinal curvature. I love that she didn't bring an intern and spend the whole time talking to him (like my old orthopedic doc), and then hand me an article from a science journal which discusses total fusion of the ankle joints and tell me that this is what I have to look forward to. She's not scary and she doesn't try to shoot you up with cortisone shots. She listens to you and talks to you very thoroughly about options and realistic scenarios. She made molds of my feet and got custom orthotics that are better than the ones I previously had gotten at Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago through the orthopedic surgeon. I have been able to walk for miles with no pain! She can also treat any other kinds of issues with the feet, skin and nails. And she sells some pretty amazing supportive flip flops and summer sandals that I wore this summer to many Chicago street festivals and was able to stand and walk for hours with no pain. Dr. Ouska-Griffin's assistant, Gloria, is fantastic and she always calls to remind you about your appointment. I don't hesitate to highly recommend her - especially as someone who was born with a foot problem, and I've seen many podiatrists and orthopedic doctors over the years! read more

She saw me quickly and also was very responsive to questions through text and phone call. I appreciated it so much!

My actual experience with the doctor was fine. She was nice and the insoles came out okay. What has been a hassle since my 2015 visit (1.5 years) has been insurance. This office seems to be fairly incompetent when filing claims. For some reason, they tried to charge both my current and previous insurance policies (despite me only give them one group / member ID). I went to 4 different doctors during this period of time and none have had this kind of issue. It has literally been going on since Oct 2015. Now, I get a stern, almost threatening, email... not a phone call or something more professional to explain the situation... demanding payment in 30 days. This was from Mr. Griffin. read more

Have seen several podiatrists over the years - none of which have been terribly helpful. Dr. Ouska-Griffin - several months in - has been the only doctor to perfectly zero in on how to efficiently help me out and the results are visible/obvious/really helpful. Will happily recommend her whenever the opportunity arises. read more

I went to Dr. Ouska Griffin to replace my orthotics, as mine had become worn over time and I was experiencing some foot and knee pain with exercise. The visit to her office was pleasant and the orthotics are awesome! I wore them immediately for a 2 mile walk and again for a 1 1/2 hour Zumba class. I immediately felt the support and stability gained from the gym shoe insert which corrects for my flat feet. read more

Dr. Ouska-Griffin is awesome.... I first went to see her about 3 yrs ago b/c I was having problems with my ankles and heels hurting whenever i tried to walk more than a mile... She fitted me with custom orthotics and worked with me to get them just right... After making some minor adjustments within a month, i was walking with little to no pain. With the pain I originally was experiencing, I could never have imagined walking any long distances. But with her help, this past summer I participated in the 3day and walked 60 miles in 3 days and didn't experience any pain in my ankles. She is truely caring and is willing to work with you to get it just right. I recently saw her for a different problem and it just reaffirmed my belief that she is an excellent Dr. read more

Dr. Ouska-Griffin is extremely professional, attentive and genuinely cares about her patients. I went to see her for mysterious blisters that had appeared on both of my feet. She not only took the time to examine, treat and take photos of the injury but she also sat down with me and took detailed notes of my previous activities, travels and changes in lifestyle that could have caused this problem. In the end, my blisters were treated without issue. I don't have frequent feet problems and therefore randomly choose a doctor based on location. If I ever have any sort of issue, I will for sure go back to Dr. Ouska-Griffin without thinking twice. She is one of the best doctors I have come across in years. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a detail-oriented and caring podiatrist. read more

I have never met Dr. Ouska but did speak with her manager Mr. Griffin who was very rude & unprofessional. I had left a voicemail for this office this past Saturday, April 10th, 2016 & asked if they accepted Aetna Better Health. Since they did not respond, I had to call to ask again. The receptionist brushed me off & said, "Yeah this is about Aetna or something" then referred me to Mr. Griffin who said they don't accept Medicare/Medicaid insurance. I pointed out to him that this is discriminatory since it is the doctors who decide if they want to opt in. I asked to speak to the doctor when she had time. He flatly refused & said that since I am not a patient I could not speak to her under any circumstances. Really? I responded by saying that all patients whether they are new or existing should be treated with the same level of respect. Being the jerk that he was he hung up on me. I called again to ask to speak to the doctor because I had some questions. He refused. Then said that he could refer me to a Podiatrist who does accept Aetna Medicare/Medicaid. I declined. Why would I accept a referral from him after the way he treated me? I wanted to schedule an appointment with Dr. Ouska based on the reviews, but while I cannot comment on the doctor I can certainly comment on Mr. Griffin because any action he takes on behalf of the doctor impacts patients new or existing. read more

Dr. Ouska-Griffin is very thorough, kind, and professional. She is always on time--I have never had to wait in the waiting room for more than 3 minutes. She explains everything to make sure that you understand it, and she doesn't try to sell you services or products you don't need. Her office is right downtown in the Loop, and she's a great podiatrist. If you need one, check her out! read more

After many years, 2 dermatologists, and 2 podiatrists, I finally found Dr. Florence Ouska-Griffin. I wish I had found her early on - it would have saved me hundreds of dollars and years of pain. I had a plantar wart that was super resistant and continued to grow into a mosaic wart in spite of treatment. I was ready to try surgery to cut it out, when I decided to get yet another opinion. On my first visit she said that surgery, without question, was not a good option and that she could get rid of it but it would take some aggressive treatment with cryosurgery and acid. She knew exactly how to attack it and although I had trusted the previous doctors and was wrong, I could tell from the beginning that she was different. The road wasn't easy but she cheered me on the whole way and after only 3 months of treatments I am finally wart free! I still can't believe it. My last visit happened to be her final week in Chicago. I feel extremely fortunate to have caught her before her move. I couldn't thank her enough which is why I am taking the time to write this review. If you are in need of a podiatrist and are in Kenosha (or can get there) , make an appointment with Dr. O-G. You will thank me (and her)! read more

I decided to call Dr. Ouska-Griffin for an appointment because of the Yelp reviews she received. Every single review I read gave her 5 stars. After my appointment, I agree. I called for an appointment because of excruciating heel pain and couldn't walk. I was seen an hour later after her schedule was rearranged a bit. I sat in the waiting room for about one minute (while my insurance card and ID were being scanned) before being taken back into the exam room. Dr. Ouska-Griffin's examination was very thorough. She is extremely knowledgeable about her field. She took the time to explain to me why I was experiencing the foot pain and a few ways on how to correct it. She was not pushy at all about me buying custom orthotics but I was fitted that day for them because I didn't want to experience this type of pain again. I'm very happy I went to see Dr. Ouska-Griffin. When you aren't rushed, you know the doctor cares. She also gave me her cell number if I had any problems until my next appointment. I left with a walking boot on, but I felt so much better than I did walking in. I highly recommend her! read more

I'm very happy I went to see Dr. Ouska-Griffin. I called for an appointment and her office assistant, who is also very nice, made a special effort to get me an appointment as soon as possible - that same day, in fact- because I was in pain. The appointment began promptly, Dr. Ouska-Griffin was thorough and patient and my problem was quickly fixed- only a week later I'm back to normal. Dr. Ouska-Griffin knows her stuff and cares about her patients- I highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Ouska-Griffin is terrific. She was recommended to me by my own MD and has treated me (and him) for years. I have Type 2 Diabetes, have had cancer and need to keep my feet in very good shape, which she does superbly. It is also a very well-run office. There is little or no waiting, and I find her rates reasonable. I was very surprised to find the one negative review (though it sounds as if the writer had never actually been a patient herself). I would certainly tend to believe all the other positive reviews, including mine, from patients who have enjoyed her wonderful service. read more

Dr, Ouska-Griffin is "AMAZING"! She has been my doctor for so many years I can't even recall when I started seeing her. Dr. Ouska-Griffin is friendly, knowledgeable, patient and very thorough. I would definitely recommend her; make an appointment and trust me you will not regret it. read more

I needed an appointment on an urgent basis, and Gloria at Dr. Florence Ouska-Griffin's office was very accommodating in fitting me in. Dr. Ouska-Griffin was very thorough, professional, and kind. Highly recommend. read more

I have been to several podiatrists over the past 10 years for a persistent nail fungus. Dr. Ouska-Griffin has by far provided the most comprehensive approach to eradicate it. She devised the treatment approach and made sure I was comfortable with it. She answered all my questions and informed me of the possible side-effects. I am pleased with the outcome. Her receptionist, Gloria, was always very friendly over the phone and in person. read more

Dr. Ouska-Griffin helped my family feel comfortable about making a very difficult decision. My uncle was diagnosed with foot/ankle osteomyelitis by Physicians at another Hospital and was battling the infection for months. Our family did not feel confident with the care from the other facility so we came to Dr. Ouska-Griffin for a second EXPERT opinion. We had her evaluate our MRI scan and our records to determine if amputation was the most appropriate treatment at this time. She took the time to evaluate the whole picture, his lifestyle and went above and beyond having expert radiologists at Westlake hospital also review his case. We were comfortable and confident with our decision to amputate after she discussed the risk/benefit options of a continued antibiotic regimen vs. amputation. We were so grateful for the treatment, extra attention and caring nature that we received when she reviewed our case. If it weren't for Dr. Ouska-Griffin I don't know what we would have done. My uncle is now in rehabilitation and doing great. We recommend her to EVERYONE! read more
