“Dr. Okino offered to spend as much time as I needed during my visit to provide me thorough and proper care. He listened about my heel pain and worked with me to find a solution, sculpting supports for my shoes and making adjustments based on my feedback. These supports minimized my pain from a 7/10 to a 1/10, and a few days later the acute heel pain I was experiencing had largely vanished. Dr. Okino was pleasant and informative, and so clearly motivated by a genuine care for my health and comfort, unlike so many past doctors I have had who perform to a minimum and spend as little time as they can before moving on. Dr. Okino was easily one of the best doctors I have ever seen and there need to be more like him.”

I was sent to an exam room that hadn't been properly cleaned after the prior patient.
The doctor did a great job solving my problem and it was handled very neatly.

The staff was really friendly. The doctor was friendly. He had a great bed side manner. He listened to the problem, did a thorough examination and made recommendations.

Dr. Okino was incredibly attentive and genuinely empathetic. He took the time to really listen and thoughtfully connect the dots, he identified that the ankle brace I was given back in Dec by my ortho contained latex, something I hadn’t even realized. Unfortunately, I’m allergic to latex, and despite my allergy being known, this led to significant swelling, cracking, and painful reactions in my feet. I truly appreciated Dr. Okino’s careful attention to detail and his compassion throughout the visit. It made a huge difference to feel heard and understood. Highly recommend.
Verified patient
Absolutely painless visit for a very swollen and pain riddled left big toe. Before I left I made two follow up appointment. Doc and his assistant were both great.
Verified patient
Great
Verified patient
They were very kind and communicative once I arrived at the office. The doctor was very knowledgeable and realized I had a toe fracture which others had missed.
The doctor did not make me feel uncomfortable about my feet condition He just gave me the diagnosis and proceeded to alleviate the problem
My child has complex needs as he is autistic and highly sensitive to pain and stress. Dr. Okino was very kind and made sure that my son's foot was entirely numb before his procedure and had a lot of great ideas to help keep him safe during this procedure. Office staff were kind and accommodating even though we were a noisy visit. I am so grateful to each of them for their understanding and competence.
Everyone in the office was professional. Dr. Okino answered my questions and explained what would happen during this visit. I have found a new podiatrist.
Verified patient
pleased with my appointment, staffed very helpful and pleasant and the Doctor did not rush the visa and answered all my questions.
Verified patient
Dr. Okino saw me right away even thought I arrived 15 minutes earlier than my appointment time. The office staff were very friendly and welcoming. He immediately took care of my issue with a quick in office procedure. I was very anxious and he walked me through every step and gave me options. Will definitely return to his office if the need ever arises.
Dr. Okino was kind, efficient, and helpful. My son is autistic and has a hard time with waiting, so it was great we were not waiting long, and even better that Dr. Okino went right to work with removing the ingrown toenail that was bothering him.
It was a pleasant experience.
Verified patient
The staff was friendly, and very efficient. The Dr. Was funny, and had lots of patience all my questions were answered in a friendly manner. The small intervention I had was not painful but he was checking on me, and describing what he was doing.
