Advanced Foot & Ankle Specialists

Not sure why bad reviews. I had an appointment and even after filling out paperwork was in and out in 1 hour. Efficient, quick X-​rays and treatment. All good.

I’ve been a patient here for a few months and overall satisfied. The office could def use a facelift as it sppears old and dreary. The staff has always been nice to me when ‘ve gone so no complaints there. Dr. Johnson is a doll and I do really like her. If you make an apoointment make it early in the morning so you dont have to wait. I made the mistake of making a 1pm appointment one day and sat in the waiting room for about an hour. After my name was called I sat in the room for another 15−20min until seeing the dr.

Wait times were still bad as usual due to heavy scheduling patients all in the same time. Once I was called it took about maybe five minutes for the doctor to come in and check my toes to make sure their okay which they are then the doctor left.

Total time spent at the podiatrists office was 75 minutes.
–60 minutes of waiting in the waiting/​exam room.
–10 minutes with assistant.
–5 minutes with Podiatrist

I normally do not go out of my way to rate doctors but this particular office/​doctor was extremely terrible. The number one goal was to charge me for my visit and spend as little time with me as possible. My reason for coming in was very minor but I still deserve my time with a doctor because I am still paying over a $ 150 to see you.
STAFF
The staff treat you very poor and you are able to tell right off the bat that they hate their jobs. When asked about the «Guest Wifi,» I was told, «it’s not for guests because this is a doctors office.» Please note that this was said in a way to get you away from the desk and to make you feel dumb for asking this type of question. Guess what, the doctor I go to in Tampa does offer Wifi for guests and the name of it is also «Guest Wifi».
During the hours I spent waiting, I got to overhear all of the negative conversations that occur in the back offices. The staff talk condescending and rude right behind the patients back. On top of this, you get to hear all the problems the employees are having with their life. There is no reason for me to know what presents you guys are getting your kids for Christmas.
DOCTOR
Once I finally got to see the Podiatrist, I was quickly greeted and my bruised foot was examined. Again, I know my problems were very minor but I still deserve your attention. I was basically told not to wear my shoes again that gave me the bruise. She knew this was a very quick and generic answer so she decided to order an X-​ray to apparently confirm that my toe was not broken even though there was no pain and signs of trauma. I felt that this was ordered just to make me feel that she cared and to bill my insurance provider. Again, this was just a small bruise.
My main goal was to get some advice on proper foot care and tips for preventing these incidences in the future. None of this was even brought up. To top it all off, I was told to come back in a month so she can «make sure the bruise is going away». Then I was told that I would still need to pay her for my follow up visit.
I have been to quiet a few doctors and have had some bad experiences, but this was is by far the worst. Please don’t let them take advantage of you. I felt so disrespected after leaving this office. It just amazes me that they can do this to so many people. I would not recommend this to any patient looking for any type of quality advice. I am very surprised that there are no reviews written for this doctor. Please take your health conditions elsewhere because you will not get treated like a patient at this doctors office.
