Avoid These Doctors at All Costs!…read more RUN IS RIGHT! I cannot believe they are still practicing! SHAME ON THEM! I strongly urge anyone to stay away from these podiatrists. They caused permanent damage to my toes with their so called non-invasive procedure. I've consulted with several top specialists and have been told nothing can be done to correct it. I have been living with the consequences of their poor judgment and substandard treatment for years! I've also discovered that I'm not alone. Many others have tried to pursue legal action against them but it appears they've taken significant steps to shield themselves. Multiple attorneys have refused to get involved, noting how well-protected these doctors are. It's incredibly frustrating and discouraging. They are an absolute disgrace to the medical profession and should not be allowed to treat patients!

WOW! What a game changer! I had bunion surgery in a hospital a few years ago with a long incision,…read morea plate, some screws and needed a scooter. Extremely painful recovery and couldn't walk for 2 months. I needed my other foot operated on but felt never again. I met a former patient of Dr. Kirell who said he operated in his office using just novacaine with little punctures in the skin to squeeze out the bunion. I had a consult and the surgery soon after with no stitches or any screws and was immediately walking! His minimally invasive puncture procedure is truly a gift - quick, comfortable and life-changing.

Doctors are good but the woman in the office is very customer unfriendly. There was a mistake in…read morebilling by the insurance company where they charged 2 co-pays for 1 visit. And I'm not taking about lab work or anything reasonable like that. After I cleared it up with the insurance company, where they admitted their mistake, I called the doctors office to tell her it was resolved. Instead of being happy she again gives me an attitude. I finally ask her sarcastically if I come in for a pain in my right toe and left toe will I be charged 2 co-pays. She says yes, it's very possible. That's when I knew this was not the place for me. This kind of arrogant nasty attitude was totally uncalled for. We have been going here for over 10 years and this was the first time I called with a legitimate issue, where I turned out to be right. They really need to learn a little respect understanding and customer service. I wasn't asking for much, I got nothing.

Dr. McCrudden & Staff were great! I had never had an issue with my feet until several weeks ago…read more Pain in the ball of my left foot had me googling podiatrists near my home. I was really hurting & called their office on a Monday morning. I was able to get appt for Monday afternoon & they did take my insurance. (I did have co-pays) I was taken right on time & Dr. McCrudden could not have been nicer. Examined my foot, took some xrays, discussed my options, I decided on the treatment, he did what he had to do & I was done. He also gave me several cushioned pads to use in my shoes to help alleviate my pain while walking. He was caring, thorough & I would definitely recommend him to my family & friends.

I am now over 62 years old, and I've received treatments of various kinds by literally dozens of doctors in my lifetime, and I cannot say that I've ever been more kindly and considerately and respectfully treated by any other practitioners; doctors Kassnove and Houslanger are the very best! They did literally everything imaginable to reassure me and instill confidence that my needle phobia was not something to stress myself about, and also give me great confidence that my convalescence will proceed propitiously. You will not find a more considerate and professional practice than this! I am so thankful to have found such understanding people! I am also grateful to the administrator, Gloria, who always calls me by my first name and always shows her regard for me when I am there. You're not just a number, not just "another customer," at this medical office; you are a human being who is respected, even if you happen to suffer with peculiar phobias or (potentially problematical) medical issues. I cannot speak or write with sufficient praises to adequately express how grateful I am to these people for their sedulous professionalism! I am ONE LUCKY MAN to be treated so well!

Would give negative stars if I could. Been going here for…read morethe last 10 months because of excruciating foot pain. For 10 months they tried shots and steroids, and wanted me to try orthotics and shockwave therapy. I agreed to the orthotics because everything else hadn't worked (after wasting time and money going to appointments telling me to come back on two weeks if ____ didn't work). Had a few days where my pain shot up from a 9 to a 15 on the pain scale while waiting for my orthotics and decided to go to a different office. Immediately my new doctor recommended I get an MRI because he was worried I had a tear in my plantar fascia and that my problem was NOT just heel spurs like Dr. Siegel and Berlin had seen on my x-ray. Sure enough, I had a partial tear and after 4 weeks in a walking boot and in PT, I am PAIN FREE!!! All that time and money wasted when they could have sent me for an MRI from the start!! Besides that, the billing/scheduling department here is HORRENDOUS!!!! They are constantly "losing" payments (thank god for bank statements!!) and I've had to cancel the same appointment numerous times because they never cancelled it when I first called!! Also, the older blonde woman in the office is the WORST human on the face of the planet. She has no compassion for people and looks down her nose at patients. She thinks her shit doesn't stink for whatever reason and isn't willing to help with any situation, just leaves it for the poor kids behind the desk. 10 out of 10 do NOT recommend this place. I trusted these doctors to help me, and instead they saw me as an easy meal ticket.
