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.

Seen 3 drs(ttl.15yrs)there"You'll be a podiatrist"
I've been seen by diff. dr's over past 15 years at this practice. I wonder,IF Dr. Octo (sp) was using his"allgoryhtmic learning over 30 years" (his words) to beat me with his medical affectation aka"covid?who cares,retiring soon, taking all seeking help over the Bounty's plank". It might have been helpful, in a weird way, if he'd a neutral way of presenting "expert power"like a captain before launching a nuke strike on pts. Or even if he had a sense of humor, like Cap'nCrunch in milk-parched in soggies,after dousing $1000's in ortho Dr.do-little inserts/Seimens sonic-and experimental"therapy". He wrote down shoes he almost demanded I buy (from various 'ortho-stiff"mfrs)..and then yelled"first u say this, then u say that" like a duck in Make Way For Suckerlings or Chris Walken Weapon Of Choice! He even violently hand-smashed his own orthotic insert sev. x on table, aka"I'm stiffer!" Yes, he is, and compensating for zero compassion/listening.Avoid, avoid, avoid

He is knowledgeable, explains in detail what's going on with your foot, explains a range of procedures from low-level to surgery, takes as much time as you need, and is quite personable.
