Dr. Stewart Brim, DPM

I waited for 40 minutes after our appointment time (2:00 PM) and the Dr still had not arrived at the office. I was told initially he was running 15 to 20 minutes late. After 40 minutes his helpful staff who felt bad about this incident told me he was "tied up in an inter-office meeting" and they didn't know when he would arrive. They offered to let me continue to wait or reschedule or just leave. I chose to leave, and am now looking for a different Podiatrist. Had I been 40 minutes late without excuse I would have been charged for the visit and I am certain the DR would not have waited for me. A patient's time is also valuable (my hourly billable rate is likely in excess of Dr Brim's). In my opinion, a Dr who can't be at the office within a reasonable time-period of his appointments without a legitimate excuse and also keep his staff informed obviously does not respect his patients. Additionally, his staff should also not be put in this position.

Dr. Brim corrected another podiatrists failed attempt at correcting my foot. Flawless procedures.

He took my toenail off without any problems. He's very nice and respectful.

The doctor was OK, no complaints about him. The business portion of the practice was offensive, though. Having recently changed insurance, I was not aware that I would owe a co-pay so I paid none at the time of service. When I later received a bill, I was charged not only the $12.00 co-pay, but also a $15.00 penalty for not paying it at the time of service. The surprise exorbitant penalty makes the practice look mean-spirited and petty.

After an accident that injured a foot tendon, and calling several foot surgeons' offices, only Dr. Brim's office was willing to make room to see me immediately. He diagnosed the issue, stabilized my foot, and his nurse called multiple MRI centers until they found one who would see me that same day. He performed surgery in his surgery center, with no complications. A week later when my husband showed up a few minutes late to pick up a pain medication prescription, the office manager stayed late.
