It all started 2 weeks ago… my son who is 18 tells me that «something is wrong with my feet but I think it is getting better». I took a look, didn’t seem so bad, and so I let it be. Fast forward to yesterday, Thursday night, when upon glancing at his feet, it appears that BOTH big toes are an angry color of bright red with pus and blood oozing out the side!!! And what does thie 18 year old boy tell me when I inquire as to why he didn’t tell me anything was wrong??? Well… aparently, «It looks alot better when I take a shower and wash them.» AAAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGG!!!
He doesn’t have insurance, and we do not have alot of money, so I call county urgent care who tell me that they will charge me $ 80 and end up referring me to an outside doctor’s office. NO THANKS. I called bajillion podiatrists only to realize that either 1. they are not in the office on Fridays (NO THANKS)2.they are booked up and the soonest available appointment would be next week (NO THANKS), or 3. They are TOO expensive (NO THANKS).
Until I called this office. Dear God, thank you for this office and this doctor.
They too were booked solid but took my number and called me upon a cancellation. They were the most reasonable priced as well and gave me a cash price of the out the door cost it would be for BOTH toes. BOTH.
When we went for the appointment, I was shocked yet again. They have a beautiful, aesthetic office complete with compassionate, friendly staff… and we waited only a few minutes before being seen— the icing on the cake???
THE DOCTOR! OMG! What a wonderful human being. Excellent bedside manner! Very friendly! Explained everything to my son… and even patiently worked with a pleasant demeanor as my 18 year old son screamed his brains out. This was after the administration of anesthetic. I think most doctors would have been annoyed, but he was just so nice about it. GREAT DOCTOR!
Experiences at doctors’ offices do not get better than this.
If you are looking for a podiatrist, you can stop looking. This is your man!
