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.

Dr. Tomey is a great physician. He thoroughly explained various issues related to my condition, listened to my complaints, and spent enough time without being in a rush. Truly, I wish all medical practitioners and specialists (in particular) had this approach. I highly recommend Dr. Tomey to anyone with foot or podiatry problems.

I had Plantar's Fascia release surgery in December of 2017; it did not go well. I had excessive scarring that had been unsuccessfully treated with PT over the course of two and a half years. After suffering numerous injuries as a result of compensating for the pain in my foot, my PT was about to give up on my being able to resume an active lifestyle. Knowing Dr. Tomey had just invested in state of the art Laser technology, I approached him about my situation. Over the course of a month, he was able to treat me with a series of Laser treatments, breaking up the scar tissue. My PT was amazed at the results! He could no longer feel the scarring and I had regained mobility in my foot. I can now run again and resume activities I had not done in over three years! I am even able to wear normal shoes without orthotics.

I visited recently on recommendation from a friend. I was very pleased with the visit, Dr. Tomey handled my issue very well, gave me good advice. He and the staff were very careful about masks, social distancing, etc. I was glad I didn't read the reviews before going as the negative reviews, which I totally disagree with, might have turned me off and I am so glad I went. I will be back.

He was honest and thorough! I have been to two other practices in the area due to bunions and painful feet. One of them performed an unnecessary surgery on a callous! Then I found Dr. Tomey. He gave me the correct diagnosis, I’m following his direction and feeling much better. Staff is nice, little difficult to get in immediately but he is a one man office.

I am new to the area and required podiatry care. Dr. Tomey, and his staff, were great. Dr. Tomey was in the moment with me, asked questions, listened well, and gave me a lot of information re: my status. Very glad to have found his office and I definitely recommend him to all.

Dr. Tomey is a skilled practitioner. He treated my teenage son and was considerate and spent the time needed to take care of his issue with no problems or residuals, one visit!! The staff was friendly. I would recommend this office without reservation.

Customer service is the worse! I was called about a payment that I was told had not been made; I ordered a pair of shows. I was told they could not place order unless I paid up front, which I did. Three weeks later I get a call that I did not pay, which I did. I called and of course no one could talk to me at that time. I was told someone would get back to me, I waited 3 days no call, I called again, no could talk to me, I waited 5 days called again.

I saw Dr. Toomey with acute plantar faciitis. He was able to reduce my extreme pain to a manageable level with one visit. On the second visit he helped me learn many methods to deal with this chronic condition. The whole office staff was friendly and very helpful. I just wish I had gone sooner.

I took my son to see Dr. Tomey for a plantar wart that just would not go away. We were treated great from the moment I called the office to schedule his first appointment to the last appointment (which was a few days ago). The doctor took time to explain the condition to us, how it occurs and the best way to treat it. He was friendly, engaging and made us feel comfortable. Should I, or anyone I know, ever need a foot and ankle specialist again I will definitely call Dr. Tomey's office.

I have been long time patient of Dr Tomey but no longer..his staff isn't what it use to be resulting in 3 extra trips after errors made on staff's part..in today's world when you pay for product a certain way & its delivered greatly less than promised you go elsewhere to give your business..Dr Tomey is a good Doctor, but his staff..not so much.. I can NO LONGER refer or recommend Cary Foot & Ankle to my family in friends on the grounds of incompetence headed by staff (patient & office)

I was not satisfied with my visit to this specialist. When I described my foot pain, I was told it was because of the improper shoes us women wear. How completing insulting and unprofessional to list that as a medical reason for pain. When I asked what was wrong with the shoes I wore into the visit, there was no response because they were completely appropriate. I would not recommend this practice for any reason
