My first and last appointments went smoothly, and the staff were generally helpful. However, my…read moresecond appointment for the custom orthotics mold was a very different experience. The staff had called me to schedule the visit after obtaining insurance authorization, but when I arrived, I had been left off the schedule. While the office corrected the mistake and I was seen first, Dr. Lam appeared visibly irritated from the start. Despite having seen me only three weeks prior, he didn't seem to recognize me and even asked if it was my first time there. His tone was dismissive and unwelcoming; when I asked a simple question about over-the-counter (OTC) insoles as a backup for another pair of shoes, he responded, "If they helped, you wouldn't have to come see me," which effectively shut down the conversation. Communication was also unnecessarily tense. Despite knowing I understood both English and Cantonese, and having spoken Cantonese with me previously, he insisted on speaking English with a heavy, difficult-to-understand accent. When he finally switched back to Cantonese, it was with a noticeable frustrated tone while asking whether my insoles were removable--making a simple interaction feel unnecessarily uncomfortable. The assistant was great, and the staff handled the rest of my visits professionally, but due to Dr. Lam's attitude, I would not return. Ironically, I ended up trying OTC insoles on my own and found significantly better relief.

[overdue review] I saw Dr Grogan for the first time last year following a surprise slip on a wet…read morerock that resulted in a bruised foot. I was concerned I had broken something, but fortunately not. During my visit, I was struck with Dr Grogan's pleasant personality, knowledge and integrity. What *really* impressed me was his comment re: my orthotics (old, but still in great shape). He was thoughtful and honest about the fact that: 1. they don't need replacing (which he would $ benefit from), 2. it's not ethical to create more unnecessary plastic waste. What a gem!

Copying my review from the other listing, as there appears to be two (Dr. Grogan sees patients at…read moretwo locations). Dr. Grogan is amazing! I found him on Google when I was looking for a plantar wart specialist. After reading his stellar Yelp reviews, I knew he was as the guy to visit, and I was not disappointed! I made back to back appointments for both me and my husband, since it's a bit of a drive from us, and Dr. Grogan actually saw us together. My husband had two plantar warts for years that he had seen many doctors for and had many painful procedures on. He finally resorted to duct taping them daily for the last couple years. I had something going on with my foot that I thought might be a plantar wart but wasn't sure. It was very painful! Dr. Grogan was the first doctor that was able to explain all about the plantar warts and treatments to my husband. After looking at it and shaving the callus down a bit, he said that a previous doctor had cut too deep, and that my husband no longer had a wart on either foot! He was duct taping for nothing! He also explained to my husband that he didn't have much padding on the ball of his foot and that may cause him pain over time. He talked about options for dealing with it. Extremely knowledgeable and didn't try to push any product/treatment at all. Just laid it all out. As for my foot, it turned out I had stepped on something and it was embedded. He removed it quickly and painlessly and I my foot immediately felt better. He also looked at my calluses from running (big toe/heel) and I was telling him a previous podiatrist had shaved it down and it really hurt. He said they should not have done that and told me all about what it was and why shaving it down is bad. Dr. Grogan is so thorough and passionate about his work; you can tell just by how he explains everything. If you have any foot issues, don't see any other doctors - go directly to Dr. Grogan!

He took the time to get into the nitty gritty of my post Lapidus Bunionectomy journey and gave me a clear step-by-step path of how to proceed in my healing. He included detailed information on orthotics, healing practices to be more consistent with, a well-laid path for building up to running and suggested a CT scan to rule out any non-union at my incision site or any hardware issues that my X-rays or MRI might not have detected. He also took the time to thoughtfully and sensitively let me know I might not be the best candidate for custom orthotics. I ended the call feeling incredibly heard, honored and taken care of. Thank you Dr. Segler.

Be very careful with Dr. Segler. He is way more into marketing than treatment and will focus on…read moreextracting the most cash from you than focusing on your improvement. I began laser treatment on my nails with him and as many of those treatments showed no improvement he performed total nail avulsion (ripped nails out). Now my nails are completely ruined for life. I spent almost $2k with him and every time I see my nails I fully regret the day I met him. I would have been much better off had I not done anything to my nails. Don't be lured with his marketing and web site. Do your own research. Laser treatment doesn't work for most people - save your money. And, certainly don't have anyone remove nails unless it is causing pain or other issues. At the of the day, be wary of fast-talking doctors. This doctor is more interested in his own fitness, podcasts and buying real estate (just ask him or do a search online first). I'm sure he does well with older ladies out there who need someone to talk to, but now my nails are 90% worse than when I started. He really is a doc on the run. Check out his "medical" credentials before you engage him.

After a serious workout-related injury, I interviewed several podiatrists before finding Dr. Saunders and her team -- and I'm incredibly grateful I did. Over the years, they've helped me through multiple issues: * Diagnosed my footwear was actually worsening my pain and fitted me with custom orthotics and proper workout shoes * Helped resolve significant big toe joint pain through movement adjustments, strengthening exercises, and shoe modifications * Quickly diagnosed a torn tendon in my arch with onsite X-rays and guided me through a successful recovery plan Today I'm fully recovered, staying active, and moving with far less pain and much more confidence. What stands out most is the combination of expertise and compassion. The entire FDFAC staff is organized, proactive, kind, and genuinely invested in patient care.
