Its great to consult Dr Jessica for my foot fracture.
She listened to my issues with swollen legs with fracture carefully and gave the proper treatment efficiently.
She was so pleasant and welcome in nature that made me relaxed which is what most patients needed at that moment.
September 19, 2025Harikrishnan K.Verified patient
I made the appointment on a late Thursday afternoon for a 10:00 Am appointment the next day. The office called me 1 1/2 hours before the scheduled appointment time to reschedule my appointment because the doctor was double booked. I DID NOT reschedule with this office. I found this very unprofessional. I was not even given an apology. They acted very nonchalant , like it was normal. to just cancel a doctors appointment because THEY overbooked. Totally unacceptable
August 15, 2025Elizabeth T.Verified patient
The front office staff is very friendly and I was greeted with a smile and a wave even though she was on the phone. Amazing service. Dr Arneson was very informative and understanding, and great bedside manner, would highly recommend!

This was one of the best experiences I have had at a drs office. Check in was quick and easy. There was no wait time. The dr came in and was so kind. Explained everything to me so well. I felt very understood. All the nurses who came in were awesome and so helpful. I would definitely send my friends and family here. Thank you

March 11, 2025Amahni Y.Verified patient
This was a new Dr for me. I made the appointment...filled out paperwork online, which I really like. I checked in and waited approx 2 mins.. staff is very friendly and helpful. I was in the exam room for quite sometime. BUT... when the Dr finally came in she explained the situation and was very apologetic.
I was very satisfied and happy with the care and attention I was given for my issue. Will definitely refer this office to anyone who is in need of any foot care
December 13, 2024Peggy B.Verified patient
Dr. Arneson was extremely pleasant, very knowledgeable and explained everything completely. I would highly recommend her for sure!

Dr. Arneson was super knowledgeable about my ankle sprain. I was attended to very quickly by her assistant and she took very nice x-rays. I actually spent more time with Dr. Arneson than her assistant which is surprising these days since I’m used to being seen by a doctor for less than 3 minutes. She is very nice and explained my potential treatment choices thoroughly. Would highly recommend.
November 28, 2024Chloe D.Verified patient
Dr. Arneson is fantastic. She is so nice. She explained everything and I didn’t feel rushed. I would HIGHLY recommend her. I have never experienced a doctor that took as much time explaining everything to me as she did. It’s rare. I think she is wonderful!

September 13, 2024Diana M.Verified patient
Dr. Arneson was very clear, detailed, concise and friendly. The vibe from the office staff felt like they were all friends which was enjoyable to be around. Would definitely recommend to see again.
More than 1 year agoKatherine P.Verified patient
Dr. Arnesson is very personable. My initial visit was for circulation issues with my feet and legs. I had other major health issues that she zeroed in on, and sent me to a cardiovascular surgeon. Had I not seen her for my feet. I could have been in a very serious health situation.
She has a very kind and sympathetic bedside manner. She remembers every detail from past visits and asks about my family. She has great advice looking ahead to possible issues I might have. I highly recommend her and am thankful I was referred to her.
August 20, 2024Cindy G.Verified patient

Dr. Arneson was friendly and thorough. She did an excellent job of going over the treatment options and benefits/risks of each. Highly recommend
June 19, 2024Sabrina B.Verified patient
Seems like a good honest doctor. Will be seeing her for quite a while now so she can treat my toenail fungus. Also, really nice they had a drill at the office to take off my gel polish and bedside manner was overall good. Very quick diagnosis too and went over all options without being pushy.
June 12, 2024Jennifer J.Verified patient

February 20, 2024Lori B.Verified patient
The scheduling process was smooth. The office staff contacted me to adjust time for appointment, but it was in the same day and office staff was friendly and efficient. Dr. Arneson was very helpful and helped me understand what was going on with my injury and offered options for addressing the issues .
February 14, 2024Linda B.Verified patient
Dr Arneson was great, very thorough and informative. I saw another dr for the same issue and the root cause was never addressed. The office and staff were just as professional.
January 19, 2024Linda S.Verified patient
Jessica was awesome. She was incredibly thorough with getting me the right help I needed for my bunion and neuroma issues. I would highly recommend Jessica. She is a incredible example of what a great doctor should be.

Very happy with appointment.
December 27, 2023Greg S.Verified patient
Dr. Jessica Arneson and her staff made my experience with a broken toe very pleasant. No small task! I was impressed with everything about this office. The professionalism, the detail to my care, the friendliness of the staff, even the office decor! I moved from the East Coast in 2017 and had no need to find a foot dr until now. If you are looking for a foot/ankle specialist, Dr. Arneson is it!
