Precision Podiatry, PA

My daughter sprained her ankle in a volleyball game.
I took her to Dr Smedley, who checked her out and took xrays. Dr Smedley stated that it was a simple sprain and promptly sold us a $ 250.00 boot.
Two months passed with very little improvement, so i took her to Dr Putney. Funny thing, she had a clean break on her growth plate.
How does a doctor especially a foot doctor miss a clean break? More concerned about getting patients in and out that proper care. I guess, selling $ 250.00 boots is very
important.
I gave him one star, couldn’t go any lower.

My first appointment I had to wait over 30 minutes, but I was satisfied with the care and results. I thought once, I could forgive. Since then, it has become a pattern. I have now had four appointments, and not one of them was I seen on time.
Tardiness aside, Dr. Smedley seems very knowledgeable and explains the procedures well. His bedside manner is wonderful. His staff is awful. I was supposed to have surgery, and called the number given to schedule it. I requested a day and was told i would be called back. No call back. I go to the next appointment and attempt to confirm the date and time, they were unaware of the phone call and I told them again what I wanted and they said I would get a call to confirm the time. They gave me the pain prescription for after the surgery in advance, and I went home. Later that week, I still had not been called. With surgery less than 1 week (in my mind, I called again to confirm the time. The surgery had not been scheduled. I was told they’d call me in half an hour, and that they’d send an email to the scheduling person.
I decided to go pick up the prescription, and the doctor had failed to sign it. I called back again and asked which office the doctor was at, but he was out of town. And they still haven’t heard back on the scheduling, they’ll call me as soon as they hear back. But they haven’t and its been over 3 hours and they’re now closed for the weekend. All of the short term disability and FMLA paperwork has been set with the understanding of the original date discussed on the first phone call with the scheduling person. It is 5 days until that date, and I don’t know if I am going to even be able to get in the same week as originally planned.
My confidence in this place and this doctor is completely shattered, and I’m not sure I want to do the surgery with them anymore. Do not go down this path if you have a choice.

First appointment I waited for almost and hour. Dr. Smedley wrote me a prescription he forgot to call in. I had to call 2 more times over the next 3 days to get this done. I just went and sat in his office for 45 minutes to be told I couldn’t be seen in the next half hour. I asked for my Co– Pay back and left. I will find a new podiatrist that doesn’t waste hours of my time.

Dr. Jeffery Cohen fixed me up right! All of the staff there are very friendly and they help make the experiences of painful foot problems easier to deal with. Again, Dr. Jeffery is very nice and easy to talk to. Thanks for everything!

I went to Dr. Shock to get a 2^nd opinion on the bunions I have. He was VERY straight forward and up front about everything. He explained to me why I needed surgery and walked me through the entire process. I was scared/​nervous about the surgery and he really helped to put my mind at ease. I am currently recovering post 2 weeks from the bunion surgery he did and I can honestly say he did an amazing job. He is very down to earth as well. He will call you personally to discuss questions or issues you might have. I’m very thankful I found this office! Btw, the office staff at all locations are great!

I have been seeing Dr. Smedley for a total of about 2 years now since I first twisted my ankle and later found out I needed surgery. He is well versed in podiatry and seems to genuinely care about his patients. Most of the time his patience is pretty good. The receptionists do an acceptable job and are very accommodating to scheduling visits based on your needs. However, the waiting room is kind of cramped, particularly with patients’ crutches and scooters they sometimes bring in but the place is clean and has an extensive set of magazines to read while you wait.
I recently had surgery about a couple of months ago and the recovery has been going slowly but well. Dr. Smedley is great about allowing you several post-​ops visits with no additional charge. My only complaint is about his young, Hispanic medical assistant with the dark curly hair. She rarely speaks when she calls me into the room (barely smiles) and appears bitter or disinterested in being there. She has made some remarks and communicated to me in a way that made me feel she had an issue with men. The older lady who was recently training with them is very personable and appears genuinely interested in being there. I hope to see a lot more of her and lot less of the other one in the future. Overall, I highly recommend Precision Podiatry because of Dr. Smedley’s skills as a podiatrist and his generosity with his time and knowledge. Just don’t be surprised or turned off by any rude or unprofessional behavior from the primary medical assistant.

Dr. Smedley came very highly recommended and we are very pleased to have found him. He has excellent bedside manor and explains everything in a very understandable way. He is now even trying to get my wife in a study program to eliminate all of our costs associated with her bone spurs. Surgery is next and I will update after the surgery.

I have been seeing Dr. Jon Smedley in the Cedar Park office. I am v. pleased with the care I have received. On my first visit I had to have injections in my feet that hurt like (you know what!) Dr. Smedley reminded me to breath and tried to keep me laughing through the injections. He has a good bedside manor and listens to you when you talk (really listens). After my visit, I left a message with the front desk asking to have him call me, he did — not his nurse, the Dr. called me back. That impressed me, that’s hard to find these days!
