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.

Terrible
Absolutely the worst Dr I have ever seen! Refused to answer any questions and verbally insulted my wife! I stopped the appointment and left! Horrible

Worst podiatrist ever!
Went to see Dr Evans for an ongoing toenail problem. He told me that the infection was gone, which I’m not sure I believe because discoloration remains. Then he proceeds to trim all of my toenails very short and ROUNDED. Instructs me to always trim them that way. This is contrary to every other podiatry website, which instructs patients to trim toenail straight across and not too short to avoid ingrown nails. Seems like he was setting me up for future ingrown nails. Do not see this podiatrist.

Extremely INCONSIDERATE
ZERO STARS! Dr. Evans! I arrived in Murrieta at my appointment at 4 PM. The clerk told me I was at the wrong office and would have to go to the Menifee office to see Dr. Evans. They assured me I would have time to drive from Murrieta to Menifee at 4pm on a Wednesday. I arrived at the Menifee office at 4:50 pm after driving through rainy day rush hour traffic. The office was locked and upon calling their number the clerk told me that Dr. Evans left for the day 20mins ago, rudely telling me he waited as long as he could. They could reschedule me for the next day at 10am in Murrieta! Two hours of my life, gas, and wear on my vehicle that I will never get back. Thank you Dr. Evans! It was not a pleasure doing business with you!

I was referred to Dr Evans, by my primary doctor, for a terrible pain I had had in my left foot for a month. When I read his reviews I was apprehensive. I had been given a test that said I didn't have gout but he insisted that tests aren't necessarily accurate. He gave me a medication for gout. I was doubtful that it would correct the problem. Well, it did!! Thank you Dr. Evans!!!

The Doctor is a quack! Just like the other review posted. The office is congested full with old people being mean and nasty. The staff could care less about helping anyone. The idiot doctor is just that an IDIOT. My X ray documentation shows that I have a Bunion on my left foot. The Doctor says I don't. Everything was a big joke to him. He is in business for people to come buy his gear in the office not to help anyone get better. What a waste of time and money. BEWARE!

One star is to many!! Dr. Evans is the worst medical experience of my life (79). He did bunion and hammertoe surgery. Briefly, he left stitches in my toe, and my primary saw and removed three weeks later! When the cast was taken off and my leg and foot extremely swollen and red I went to him. He should have seen the signs of a blood clot but he barely glanced and rushed me out of the door as fast as he could. I ended up in the hospital with a DVT! At my last visit and tried to speak to him about the DVT all he did was change the subject and extol the virtues of Eliquis. I was never pigeoned toed, now my foot wants to turn in plus my toe does not function and I live with more pain daily than prior to surgery. I need to walk per primary at least 30 minutes a day. When I do I am in pain. I would not let this man do surgery on my cat and if I had known his rating was two stars he never would have touched me. Anyone would be better than Dr. Richard L. Evans!!! The WORST!!!

This doctor is a quack...... He only looks in the door to see his patients... He never actually does anything.. They had done a X-ray of my dad foot and the dr told him he was good... Well actually a week later my dad ended up in the hospital and they did another X-ray and saw something in the X-ray and they found a ROCK imbedded in his Foot... Do your selves a favor if your referred to this doctor Evans RUN and I mean RUN.. He has no care or concern for his patients.... Its all about the $$$$..
