Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great doctor and office!
Dr. Monast and his staff are amazing! Everyone is very friendly and nice. I felt very comfortable at my visit. He’s very knowledgeable, thorough and seems to have a great treatment plan for me. Would recommend Dr. Monast to anyone looking for a caring podiatrist.

I went to Dr. Monast 6 months ago to fix a minor heel mishap. He gave me 3 Corticosteroid injections within 5 weeks. The 3rd injection went awry & numbed 4 places on the bottom of my foot. He was unable to explain or correct it. It has severely compromised my mobility & lifestyle. At the last visit he deflected his admitted responsibility, dismissed my ailments & sent me off to a Physical Therapist to fix his mistake. I had 5 visits with him. Sadly, he has caused me extended time, money, pain, aggravation & hasn't offered me a solution to my original & now the extended injury he inadvertently caused. I am very upset over the treatment I received by him, my foot is still painful and not healed yet.

I saw Dr Monast today for my foot problems. He was skilled, thorough, caring and friendly. His staff and nurses were also good, Everyone friendly and helpful. And the cost was very reasonable - I self-paid. I will recommend him to all my friends.

Dr. Monast is the most competent Podiatric Physician and Surgeon I have experienced. Other Podiatrists I went to were treating me for Plantar Fasciitis without any success in relieving my pain. Dr. Monast examined me and determined I had Morton's Neuromas, not Plantar Fasciitis. I am now completely without pain. Based on my results, I highly recommend Dr. Monast if you have a foot problem. I will go to no other.

We got in to see the Dr. promptly. They did a good job diagnosing and treating the foot problem, and we had 3 visits. Very nice, considerate physician and staff, which is especially appreciated when it's an elderly patient.

I went in for an ingrown toenail, which was very painful. Dr. Monast took care of the immediate problem and his nurse cared for my other toenails that badly needed attentionl. I eventually went back for a procedure to permanently remove the nail. The healing process did not go well and he referred me to a cardiologist because he suspected lack of blood flow. He was right. That referral likely saved my toe and maybe even my leg. He and his staff took excellent care of me.
