March 19, 2026Vera G.Verified patient
I never got to see the doctor, I wasn't in the system when I arrived 15 minutes before my appointment, and then I was told they double booked my appointment time.
I decided not to wait...

Dr. Smith was amazing. Minimal pain for a toe nail removal that I put off for way too long. Recovering now and I'm glad I didn't put it off any longer. If you're trying to find a good podiatrist, book your appointment with Dr. SMITH.

I am here from Georgia taking care of a family member who is in the hospital and so I had a situation requiring medical attention. I visited the NorthShore Indiana location and was very pleased with the entire staff on professional and courteous service.
December 19, 2024Sharon C.Verified patient
I had a great experience at NorthShore location. The staff was very professional and courteous. I am visiting from out of town and had an emergency which led me to this location. The doctor thatcI saw was personable and showed a true concern for my condition with a follow-up call.
