“I found Dr. Liswood through the internet and I choose him after reading the reviews. Dr. Liswood was polite upon meeting me, great bedside manners, great listener and he was able to tell me exactly what was going on, I understood his clear explanations. Great visit. I would recommend him”

“The support staff were very helpful and friendly and I was greeted with a smile. The nurse who called me in and brought me to my room also was extremely nice and had a smile the whole time. I was barely in the room 5 minutes and Dr. Liswood came in. Once again, I was greeted with a smile! Dr. Liswood was very professional and the most important aspect to me was that he "listened" to my concerns and took them into consideration when treating me. He took his time with me. We started swapping stories and he gave such great advice. I woke up this morning with no pain in my feet when walking. I already recommended him to a friend and I plan on seeing him steadily to keep my feet in good health.”

From the minute you walk in til the minute you walk out the people working there are kind and professional. No waiting. The doctor came in quickly. He was very upbeat and nice.

The doctor saw me very quickly and fixed my toe issue on the first visit. I would highly recommend him. He was friendly and explained what he would do to fix the problem.
The office staff at check in was rude telling me to complete the e-checkin despite me sharing that the link provided didn’t work. Not sure why they have such attitude.
