If you're on the hunt for a knowledgeable, professional, experienced and personable podiatrist,…read moreyour search officially stops here! As an experienced RN I had the pleasure of working with several podiatrists and selected only the best to operate on my fractured sesamoid. I had appreciated how Dr. John interacted with his patients and he certainly treated me no differently. After my surgery, Dr. John was there every step of the way and provided realistic expectations for my recovery. While trying to shower with my post-surgical dressing, I accidentally got it wet and had to have an emergency visit for a dressing change - Dr. John got me all bandaged up in no time and I was on the road to recovery. Not to mention, my scar is almost non-existent! Dr. John speaks to his patients in terms they can understand and provides reasonable treatment options depending on the diagnosis. Dr. John actually listens to his patients and spends time getting to know you and your foot issue. He will always remember your name and ask about your family. Not only is he a very experienced professional, he is a very nice guy who genuinely loves to help people "get back on their feet!"

If you've never been to a podiatric physician (podiatrist), want/need to start seeing one, and…read morearen't sure what the experience is like once you get there, I'm happy to report that I had an outstanding first appointment experience at Austin Foot and Ankle Specialists. The office is set in a relaxing Hill Country setting with free parking shaded by live oak trees. The serene surroundings and organized, clean office, conveniently situated close to downtown yet much less stressful, are exactly what you hope to find in a medical office setting. Also impressive: The online check-in process was made available in advance; the welcoming, friendly front desk staff person helped me find the office after Apple Maps misdirected my navigation; and the attentive medical assistant ensured I felt comfortable and informed before seeing the doctor. Dr. Craig Thomajan was excellent--he took the time to explain everything clearly, answered my questions thoroughly, and his calm expertise put me at ease. I left feeling well cared for and with a clear understanding of my treatment plan. Now that I know what going to a podiatric physician involves, I won't hesitate to return in six weeks for my next appointment. I highly recommend Austin Foot and Ankle Specialists to anyone seeking expert, compassionate foot and ankle care in a comfortable and welcoming environment.

I called the office and they were able to get me in very quickly unlike other local podiatrists in the area, the earliest they were able to get me in for a new patient appointment was weeks out. The ease of getting my new patient appointment scheduled as well as the paperwork etc ready to go for my appointment was very good. Once I arrived to my appointment, I was quickly taken back to the exam room. Not much of a wait at all. They listened to me, and I did not feel rushed at all during my appointment. The doctor was very kind as well, and put my mind at ease, most importantly, I did not feel like I was getting the run around or recommended anything that wasn't absolutely necessary related to my issue. Definitely recommend this office for any foot/ankle issues, they're very honest, helpful, and friendly.

The doctor was very respectful, inquisitive, instructive and encouraging. During a very serious medical diagnosis and hospital intervention, he was the MOST EFFECTIVE doctor in the cadre of doctors who treated my father. He was able to help us get admitted to the hospital by interacting with another of my father's treatment doctors and then suggested and facilitated an introduction to another doctor who was instrumental in making headway in treating my father. It was obvious that he cared about the patient and respected my questions as his caregiver; we had some frank and poignant discussions and I cannot say enough about the depth of care Dr. Walters provided for us.

When I met Dr. Shock -- his first words to me were "How about we get this fixed up?" -- I was stunned after living with this pain for over 2 years. :) It turned out that I had a torn 'longus peroneal tendon' that he was able to diagnose with an MRI. Why no other doctor thought of that before, I have no idea. I suffered through the injections, creams, socks, inserts with other doctors without any relief. I had the peroneal tenodesis surgery and was walking without pain within 2 weeks of surgery! Doctor Shock is an amazing doctor and just a very friendly and welcoming guy -- I feel like I've known him for years! :) I highly recommend him for any foot pain that you may be enduring now -- you can be completely confident that he will fix you right up!

I originally left a positive review shortly after surgery, but after living with the results long…read moreterm, I no longer feel I can recommend this surgeon. I underwent bunion surgery on my right foot, along with correction of another toe. Unfortunately, the final outcome has been very disappointing. Following surgery, my big toe healed with a significant gap between it and my second toe, creating an unnatural appearance that has never improved. In addition, the toe that was corrected with a pin never healed properly and now "floats" rather than resting naturally on the ground. Despite prolonged taping and following the postoperative instructions provided, these issues never resolved. I became so dissatisfied with the outcome that I ultimately chose not to return for additional treatment. I understand that no surgery comes with guarantees, but I feel my concerns and the long term appearance and function of my foot were not adequately addressed. Years later, I remain unhappy with the results and regret having had the procedure performed. Based on my personal experience and outcome, I cannot recommend this surgeon.

She gave me recommendations for quality shoe stores, and I got custom orthotics. My feet don't hurt anymore! Another time I came in because I tripped off an edge and my foot hurt. She discovered I broke my foot! She got me in a boot and helped me thru the healing process. Needless to say, she helped me with some serious issues. I would definitely return to her.
