Dr. Allencherry has an extensive knowledge of how the foot works and will point you in the right direction when it comes to your foot health. After suffering from a bunion issue his surgery has taken away that worry of "Will I break something if I run or walk too long." He is a Podiatrist Podiatrist who was highly recommended by my old one.

This was my first visit with this doctor. The doctor was very nice and explained everything so I could understand.

June 16, 2022Juan S.Verified patient
I've been to a handful of podiatrists and Dr. Alencherry is by far the best one I've been to so far. He's extremely patient, knowledgable and I saw drastic improvements to my flatfoot caused foot condition. Other doctors just don't compare and kept on trying to sell me on expensive, unnecessary procedures and orthotics, not the case with Dr. Allencherry. He gets the job done. Simple as that.

My visit today To dr. Alencherry was professional And very thorough. He was very knowledgable about my condition .I asked a lot of questions and dr allencherry answered all them. I am a very nervous patient and I let him know that . Throughout the exam(X-rays ., sonogram, he explained in simple terms my condition. I was given a shot in my feet and need a follow up visit in two weeks. I am considering surgery. Unfortunately DR allencherry doesn't take my insurance for the procedure. His partner does so I will be seeing him for my follow up and surgery inquiries. I am hoping to have the same professional experience ! Fingers crossed... Not toes!
