This was my second visit to Dr. Dollard's office in the past 2 years for a gout flare up. He is kind and funny as always with great bedside manner. Definitely knows what he is doing as he's been doing this for a long time. He won't try to push unnecessary treatment on you and focuses on your current problem and how to make it better.

His publications are often cited in both Podiatric and Orthopedic scientific literature. His continued note as lecture and author has been recognized with appointments to the Faculty of Georgetown University Medical Center, Department of Orthopedics; and the Clinical Faculty of the INOVA Podiatric Surgical Residency Program.

More than 1 year agoPeggy D.Verified patient
The doctor and nurse were friendly and Dr. Dollard was able to diagnose my issue and prescribe medication to treat it. Based on just that I would give him a 5 star. However their office is really outdated. It felt a little cramped and the equipment looked old. When I schedule online I expect a more modern office. There were paper charts everywhere and it seems to me they need a bigger office. It may work for them but I will go someplace else next time.

Dr. Dollard listened to my concerns and read over my history. He was very friendly and easy to talk to. He even knew the previous podiatrist I had seen through Kaiser. He explained to me what may be the cause of my continued foot pain and is sending me to get a MRI so he can make an informed decision on treatment.

Dr. Dollard was nice. I came into the office with a foot injury which turned out to be a fracture. I was given two options and he helped me weigh out the pros and cons for both. I ended up with getting a cast for it to heal and he answered any questions I had regarding care for my injury.

First time visit with Dr. Dollard and all went well. Less than 15 min. wait to be seen and once in the exam room, Dr. Dollard came in within 3 mins. His "bedside" manner was great, felt like he gave me all the information I needed to make an informed decision about my next procedure. Nice staff too. All in all, it was a very nice visit. Will definitely be going back to his office.
