“Amazing experience. 10/10 would recommend, went so smooth and Dr.Kalmer got my infected ingrown nail out with ease. You won’t be disappointed when making an appointment with her.”
Hector G.April 14, 2026
“I needed to find a new doctor since I had recently moved to Illinois from another state. I did a Google search saw Dr. Kalmar and not knowing anyone in this area decided I would give it a try. I definitely made the right decision. She went above and beyond contacting my previous doctor to get records and information on my condition to be able to make a good decision on the best course of action. I would definitely recommend her and this office.”

Great experience, Great doctor, Great people!
March 20, 2026Justin J.Verified patient
I would rank my appointment as a perfect 10. She picked up immediately that my legs were a slightly different length, throwing my whole body off, perhaps the reason for my pain. I have worn orthotics for 40 years, no other doctor picked up on this. Let’s just say I am extremely hopeful and happy!
February 20, 2026Janice M.Verified patient
This office was amazing with my 10 yr old's toe injury. Urgent care wouldn't help us but Premier Foot and Ankle did! The office was clean with a lot of relaxing touches. My daughter needed a short procedure and didn't feel a thing. The staff is so friendly and knowledgeable. We will be back for any future needs!
