Very professional and down to earth. I took my son in and we felt comfortable and welcomed. The Dr. gives you his cell number to reach him in the event you have questions or an emergency, you do not see that much these days. Highly recommend.

Highly, highly, highly recommend! Dr. Theoharidis is absolutely amazing - thorough, caring, and easy to reach. He takes the time to listen and get to know his patients. My MIL has a bit of dementia so doctor appointments tend to be difficult, but he does such a great job with her. Her foot is doing great now thanks to his recommendations. We love the whole office too - it smells great and everyone is so sweet and welcoming. If you have foot problems, go here!

I am a nurse and was experiencing severe foot pain. From the moment I walked in the door, I was impressed by the positive attitude of everyone in the office. I hurt so bad that first visit and they were all so nice to me!! The front desk staff, nurse and Dr. T are all amazing. Dr. T has been able to help me get back on my feet again. My foot pain is getting better every day. Kudos to such a wonderful Doc and his staff. I highly recommend--Thanks Lori (Gwinn) Vetere
