Elite Foot & Ankle Center

I had an appointment on the 3^rd week of January. I’ve been very disappointed since I got there. The assistant sent my prescription to the wrong pharmacy and never apologized. The doctor talked with me about 5 minutes and did not explain well to me about my pain, and he only gave me a prescription for the pain and a few pads, telling me that if I have still pain I can call him. I called him the next week, and the assistant told me that he wasn’t there. Then, I called him next day, and the assistant told me that he left early and did not have time to return my call. I told the assistant that I have a lot pain and I needed to talk with the doctor about the pain and that he can call me, but, to this day, neither he nor the assistant have returned my call.

Dr Simmons is a great doctor, he was great at explaining exactly what was happening and how to fix it as well as listening to any concerns. I did not feel rushed or hurried during the appointment. Highly recommend you see Dr Simmons!

Outstanding! Dr. Simmons is professional, courteous, and listens to his patients. I had no post op pain following my arthroscopic, Haglunds surgery. The procedure was thoroughly explained and performed with amazing expertise. I was walking after 1 week, with a boot. Follow up care has been equally outstanding. If you need foot or ankle surgery and want a true professional, Dr. Simmons is the physician you want.

Great place. Great care. I give 4 stars only because while in waiting room one of receptionists was complaining about patients. I get that sometimes customers can be rude or weird, but they may be stressed or have things going on in their lives that a 20 something receptionist doesn’t understand. Bottom line is she reflected badly on the practice by talking in a less than compassionate way about patients in front of other patients. Keep those conversations in the break room.

I had been in so much pain from Plantar Fasciitis until I went to see Dr. Simmons with Elite Foot & Ankle Center. I had read all sorts of info (or mis-​information) on the Internet and figured I’d just have to live with the pain. But, once I saw Dr. Simmons and he took the time to explain the causes, treatment, and preventions we came up with a plan to alleviate the pain. It worked! I am so happy with the results and I highly recommend Dr. Simmons and his staff.

I had never been to a podiatrist before today. My family physician highly recommended him, and she couldn’t have given me a better referral. Dr. Simmons is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent communicator. I greatly appreciate that he presented me with various treatment options, but that as a surgeon he also chose to pursue conservative treatment as the first method rather than immediately wanting to perform surgery. I found him to be very personable and professional. I was able to obtain a same-​day appointment, and his medical assistant is also very pleasant and professional.

If you are looking for a foot doctor, it can be hard to find one without a recommendation. I found Dr. Chad Simmons via positive online reviews and I can say that he has lived up to every one of them. My issue is that I have heel spurs (Haglund’s Deformity) in each foot and he was able to make recommendations that addressed the issue. My problems were advanced too far along for conservative treatment to work and we decided that surgery would be the answer. He completed the surgery at Sky Ridge Medical Center and he removed and reattached my Achilles and re-​shaped my heel. He met with me first to explain exactly what he planned to do, verified with an MRI and executed it seemingly perfectly. After I had a fall soon after surgery and landed on my operated foot, he dropped everything to see me. He will soon do the same thing to my other foot and I have complete confidence in him.
I can verify this for anyone looking for a good podiatrist:
1) His overall communication is exceptional.
2) His ability to provide amazing customer service is exceptional.
3) The surgery seemingly went perfectly, I am in less pain than I ever expected and I have not taken much in the way of pain killers. His skill set seems to be exceptional.
He deals in all issues relating to the feet and ankles and Dr. Simmons and his staff truly will be what you are looking for. Good luck on your search.

After feeling very lost and in pain from my right foot, I needed someone to figure out what was wrong. I had never been to a podiatrist before other than the Children’s Hospital when I had issues as a kid. He explained everything to me so I could understand what was going on and told me things I could do to solve the problem. I’m on my feet all day as a hairstylist so this was something I needed fixed! :)
