I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Lorimer, who exhibited exceptional professionalism, kindness, and patience throughout our visit. From the moment we entered the office, Dr. Lorimer's warm demeanor put my daughter at ease. Not only did he attentively listen to her concerns, but he also took the time to address the questions, thoroughly explain every step of the procedure, ensuring she felt comfortable and understood.
Moreover, I was impressed by how efficiently and painlessly Dr. Lorimer performed the procedure. It was evident that he valued her well-being and took great care in providing a positive experience.
Overall, I cannot recommend Dr. Lorimer enough. Their professionalism, kindness, and patience surpassed my expectations. If you're looking for a podiatrist who truly listens, takes the time to explain thoroughly, and performs procedures with expertise and care, Dr. Lorimer is the perfect choice.

I booked an appointment that didn’t go through the system and then was able to reschedule after talking to the staff. I showed up and they still didn’t have my appointment. I was able to get in but felt very rushed.
May 11, 2022Hannah H.Verified patient
I showed up 25 minutes early to my appointment and didn’t have to wait at all. Dr, Lorimer made the whole experience quick, easy, comfortable and he’s also very funny!
Thank you!
March 2, 2022Jessie H.Verified patient
I had foot sprain and wanted to treat it quickly. Doctor requested the xray even without asking or looking at my foot. Very unprofessional and did not provide any good guidance other than resting. I also noticed that i got charged twice for xray wow!
February 21, 2022Heni Govindbhai B.Verified patient
Lorimer is an experienced podiatrist and Has been practicing since 1991. was comfortable going to him for emergency ingrown nail cut for my big toe. He used lidocaine injection as well as a spray to help numb the area and I felt pretty good while he was cutting my previous bad nail cut cause I felt nothing! He distracted me with conversation and everything was fast and easy! The front desk staff was nice too.

This was an excellent experience. No drama. No delays. Straight to the point. Quick treatment. The whole thing took 10 min and was amazing. I'd recommend this doctor again and again. I liked him a lot.

Dr. Lorimer seems very professional and knowledgeable in his diagnosis, and didn't rush into any unnecessary blood works or treatment.
A very good experience all around.
More than 1 year agoAdi C.Verified patient
The technical aspects of scheduling a telemedicine appointment through ZocDoc with Dr. Lorimer failed. My appointment was somehow overlooked and it took a call from me to alert them to my appointment. Therefore, the actual session occurred nearly an hour later than scheduled.
September 24, 2020Gary M.Verified patientVideo visit
Lyle K. Lormier, DPM was pretty straight to the point. He saw. he knew, he conquered. A sort of, how you say c'est la vie appointment. It only took at best 30 seconds to figure out what procedure I needed to remedy my treatment and the rest was history. No issues, no hiccups, a true professional in his respected field. Not too shabby.
August 13, 2020Mark C.Verified patient

I have seen Dr.Lorimer for at least 10 years. That is every time I have some minor problems like: ingrown toenails, or bone spurs... He would fix all of my problems over the years, that is why I kept on returning to seek for his help if any problem occurs. He is such a conservative and kind with great manners doctor! I love the fact that he is down to earth, humble, caring, great professionalism.
I would like to recommend him for everyone who needs help with their foot health.

I went to see Dr. Lorimer about my ingrown toenails. He cut them out for a temporary fix so I could finish my ballet intensive, and did a great job. He kept pleasant conversation to distract me from the pain since he didn't give me the shot (which I'm grateful he didn't, since it wasn't too bad). I will be back to get my toes permanently fixed and I'm sure he'll do a beautiful job. :)

July 13, 2015Roger C.Verified patient
I was there 15 min before my appointment but there is 4 patients waiting before they accomodate me. He is nice but not a friendly one, need to be more sociable or be more interested on what patient concern about. Im a new patient that looked forward on that for my first visit and being a friendly doctor and showing that they concern to there patient really make us feel comfortable with them.

I was early but he took me in right away. He is very personable and efficient. I have been going to him for years and wouldn't change.

November 13, 2014Isaac R.Verified patient
The doctor was not aware I was waiting and walked in on me unexpectedly.. apparently his front desk did not tell him I was waiting in that room. The front desk gal was busy visiting with a young friend/relative, who was allowed to go behind the front desk and in the back office (very unprofessional).
The doctor asked me to move to another room and stated he had not pulled my chart so did not know what was going on with my feet. He did not remember that I was diabetic. He used a dremel to shave my nails and one nail broke under the tool. He tried to make small talk but it was an awkward exchange, all in all not a great experience.

I was not very impressed during my visit with Dr. Lorimer. I got there, and they had no idea I had an appointment scheduled. I then waited for 45 minutes, and was seen for 5-10 minutes... He barely listened to anything I said and prescribed me a basic antibiotic. I ended up having to see a different doctor for the issue.

Dr. Lorimer was so helpful and friendly with my kids. They were instantly felt comfortable talking about their food pains. I thought he was excellent explaining of what happen and the process to get better to my kids. we will return if there any issue relates to this subject.

Really cares about getting you back on your feet. Listens to the patient and does everything in his power to be the best patient advocate he can be. Very skilled in assessment and explaining treatment plans. Best placement of a cortisone shot I've ever received.

Dr. Lorimer got me in and out without delay, knew exactly what was going on with my foot problems, including my sub-standard orthotics, and got me into a new pair with better support - all in less than a week! Lana, his receptionist, was welcoming, with a great sense of humor, and got me scheduled for a follow up right away. THANKS! :)

Dr. Lorimer is fantastic! Funny, Full of Information, and most important he listed all my options and then encouraged me to ask questions about my options. Ultimately he quickly resolved my foot problem.

Dr Lorimer is very personable and makes his patients comfortable right away. He treats in the same visit when possible and doesn't jump to complicated solutions when simpler ones will do. Highly recommend this doctor!
