What separates us from other offices? Insurance plans in South Florida have caused most podiatry offices to see high volumes of patients per hour in order to succeed. That's why many offices triple book patients at the same time causing long wait times with frustrated patients in the waiting room and burned out staff.
One doctor who accepts these plans once told me, "If I spend more than 3 to 4 minutes with a patient I'm losing money." Over the last 5 years we have intentionally removed our office from the more abusive plans so that we can focus on the patient and not on the clock. We've made it easier for patients who are on those plans or patients who have no insurance to continue to see us by reducing prices and making them a flat fee.

About Us
Report
We want to make our charges as transparent as possible without hidden fees for uninsured patients. We will be posting prices of the majority of surgeries that we perform. These prices have been calculated with hospital and anesthesia charges included. Self paying patient's actual charges are often guess work with surprise bills arriving in the mail after hospital or doctor visits.
Faq
Report
We used to. Patients love to ASK for weekend appointments. However, here in South Florida, they tend to find other activities causing them to cancel their appointments so we returned to normal business hours. Better to call for that question. Insurance plans change all the time. Sometimes the doctors contract with an individual company but not an individual plan within that companies plans.
Self Pay Rates
Report
All SELF PAY surgeries include the surgeons fees, hospital or surgery center fees, and anesthesiologist fees. They also include the price of the internal fixation such as screws or plates in most cases. Also listed are prices for patients who have insurances that we do NOT except but that the hospital or surgery center does except.
