If you're looking for a knowledgeable and caring doctors, no need to look any further. Dr. Mereau and her staff were most excellent in handling my ganglion cyst. They're very thorough in the walk through of treatments and take the time to sit with you and answer any questions you might have. In a time and space when a lot of doctors treat their patients like cattle, this is the exception. Keep up the good work Capital Foot & Ankle!

Report
Everyone working there was perfectly pleasant to me and I felt the quality of care I received was adequate. However they took unnecessary xrays (that weren't even looked at during my visits) in order to charge insurance more, and also charged my insurance $500 for a walking boot that was $80 online.

I would recommend this practice to anyone searching for knowledgeable and professional podiatrists! In addition to the physicians being incredible, the staff is very kind and well-educated as well. As I was nervous to undergo an ingrown toenail procedure, Dr Walters walked me through the steps and made sure I was comfortable. I did not feel any pain thanks to the expertise of my physician. After my appointment, the kind assistant made sure I understood how to care for my toe to avoid infection. Look no further than this practice with Dr Mereau and Dr Walters if you are looking for kind doctors

Dr. Mereau is an expert podiatrist - she's extremely knowledgeable. She operated on bunions on both of my feet and now I have two feet made for walking, running, biking, jumping, whatever! Megan, her assistant, is thorough and helpful and caring. The other office staff was great as well.
