Report
Dr. Mike was recommended by a co-worker for his demeanor and professionalism. I had been dealing with repeated ingrown toe nails that my GP told me was routine for a GP to handle and cheaper. After having had bunionectamies as a teen, I had some suspicion that maybe there was a better way to handle my situation. Dr. Mike is the solution from what I can tell at my first appointment! He didn't just say your toe is irritated or just wait until it gets infected, he gave me ideas on how to ease the nails into proper place and if it didn't work would still have other options vs repeatedly ripping whole

Dr. Michael C Saraydarian performed surgery for a foot fracture that refused to heal. His professionalism and skills are above five stars. He was always available through the six-week recovery. His office staff are always friendly and listen to what you have to say. I highly recommend their services!

I am really disappointed. I hoped for help getting out of pain, and instead just got ripped off. I had a 15 minute appointment to discuss what appeared to be plantar fasciitis. A technician then came into the room and strapped a foam night splint to my foot and told me to use it every night for 2 weeks. I asked at the billing desk how much the item cost. She said she couldn't tell me , that I could call my insurance company to find out. I asked her repeatedly "what is the actual cost of this item?", and she said she couldn't tell me. 3 weeks later when I got the bill the first line item is Night

Dr. Ringo is an absolute joy. He brings comfort and laughter into the room. Both my nine year old daughter and I adore Dr. Ringo. His knowledge of all things podiatry make us feel more secure in our choices. He is always our first choice. We are so happy that his office is nearby & would recommend him to anyone.

After reading some of the other reviews, I can tell you I experienced the same awesome care and attention from my doc, Jessica Buckner. Very caring, knowledgeable and spent a lot of time making sure I received a thorough exam. never felt rushed. I think I may have found help for my hurting feet.
