The result was not what I was looking for. I needed nail trimming and callus removal. The nails were left long and only top layers of the calluses were removed. I had to retouch everything when I got home (with help; I'm 90 years old and if I could do it myself I wouldn't need a podiatrist!)
The doctor was nice and I guess he can help in other areas, but not it was not for me.

Dr. Potach addressed well the issues with my feet and provided me with a solution. He was very attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. Him and his staff made me feel comfortable throughout the appointment.

Was seen by Dr Potach for outward foot stance due to weight and trauma from working out ???. I never realized I needed orthotics. I’m now able to walk , stand for long periods and continue working out .
Th orthotics relieved all weight I had going sideways .

First visit and all went well. I mainly went to get some kind of idea what was going on with my feet. The doctor was polite enough and answered on my questions and clearly knows what he's doing. I will most likely return when I decide to get my procedure!

Knowledgeable and communicative.
August 6, 2025Syed K.Verified patient
This doctor is very knowledgeable in his field. Explained my situation and set up a plan to get me back to walking without pain. Went to 2 large providers before and weren’t halve as knowledgeable as him highly recommended

Dr Paul Potach, DPM was great! He explained the procedure thoroughly and made me feel at ease the entire appointment! Great guy to talk to! Would return to him!
June 25, 2024Erianna A.Verified patient
I would not recommend this Dr, the office was messy and when I was finally seen the exam room door wouldn’t close, popped open both the nurse and Dr made no attempt to close it so anyone could see or hear what was going on.
The examination had no empathy and my foot was actually made worse by the Dr examination due to its roughness. The Dr seemed more bothered about a potential ingrowing nail than my joint issue.
November 19, 2023John M.Verified patient
Dr. Potach was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He provided immediate relief to my problem. I definitely recommend him for footcare issues.

I almost feel bad leaving a 1-star review because Peggy (receptionist) was wonderful but...if you are going to talk on the phone for 30+ minutes while I wait in pain on your chair about a car insurance issue...then you aren't going to be getting my money. Extremely disappointed in this Doctor. Your walls are not that thick.
November 8, 2022Matthew S.Verified patient
What a great doctor! I went in for a second opinion and I am glad I did. He spent time with me discussing my concerns unlike a previous doctor I saw. I felt so comfortable and very happy my problems are going to get resolved.

Great visit, really appreciated the office staff explaining what was covered by my insurance would cover before treaatment! Visit was quick, dr was able to quickly diagnose and get started on treatment.
June 23, 2022Rebecca F.Verified patient
Great first experience with Dr. Potach and his professional clinical and office staff. My insurance benefits were thoroughly reviewed before my appointment, and they clearly explained all costs and co-pays. Dr. Potach also took time to listen and review all my concerns, and provided straightforward treatment recommendations.

I've been having problems on my nails for years and normally they'd take most of my day to treat it. Dr. Potach just simply went right into the root of the problem and made it feel like 5 to 10 minutes only. I would highly recommend!
December 28, 2021Marcelo T.Verified patient
Dr was amazing!!! Highly recommend. He came into his office when he wasn’t scheduled to come on this particular day. My daughter had an ingrown toenail and needed immediate attention due to her being a pre-professional ballerina. Most amazing experience, so kind and generous!

Everything was as expected. Thank you.

Dr Potach was very kind. He cares about the patient issues. He answered all my questions. He made me feel comfortable to handle my bunion surgery. I have referred him to anyone with foot issues.
