I would have liked more communication as to what was going to be done before the treatment began and I would have like a few seconds for discussion after the treatment was done. Otherwise it was very good experience.

Extremely pleasant staff and office. I had a very hard time through my recovery and my visit at this office was exceptional. Susan was very sweet, informative, and welcoming. From beginning to end, I felt comfortable about my healing and recovery. Not to mention, the place was so clean and fresh! Thank you guys again!

I will always be grateful for Dr Betschart doing this procedure of the Hyprocure. There were no complications after having it done and he is very professional. Everyone in the office is very friendly also. My overpronation is gone and Im amazed how much stronger my ankles are and the pain I used to have is gone. I highly recommend him. Wish I had this done sooner!

Was very, very pleased with my experience using this office! Staff was extremely friendly, the office was very clean and Dr. Betschart was the best. I decided to go with Dr. Betschart after developing and infection after a procedure done at another office. Dr. B fixed my foot up in no time! No pain what so ever, he was very gentle, he answered all of my questions and concerns and I was all healed up in less then a week! I will be using this practice only for all of my future needs!

The staff were very kind & efficient & the Dr took care of my toes they needed to be cut & was told my insurance would pick it up every 2 mths which was great to know. My other Dr who I used for years cost me a fortune after he cut toes charged me & said my insurance wouldnt pick it up so I am glad I found this office

Went in for a consultation regarding some foot pain I was experiencing. Spent no more than 10 minutes with the doctor. During this time no xrays were taken and he provided little to no guidance. I did 90% of the talking and had to ask him a question to get him to speak. Left there knowing no more than when I went in. For this I was charged $250 (thought consultations were free!) . Totally outrageous!!

Visiting from out of town, and injured my toe. Called Advanced Foot and Ankle Center, and they could not have been more helpful! They were able to fit me in right away to see the doctor. The doctor looked at my foot, took some x-rays, and consulted me on the next several days of healing.
Also, I had my niece and nephews with me, and the office managers brought out prizes for them to have and play with while they waited. This was a very positive experience, and thank you to the wonderful staff.
