Made an appointment and was seen the next day! The doctor came up with a solid plan to help me with my foot pain. We did x-rays and I learned a lot about why my foot has been hurting.

Professional and friendly!
September 2, 2022William B.Verified patient
I would highly recommend Dr. Carlis at Valley Foot and Ankle! I hurt my toe, and it wasn't an emergency. I found Dr. Carlis online and I'm so glad I did because it was a one stop shop. My Toe was x-rayed that day and he was able to fit me in to preform a procedure to relieve the pain. The staff at Valley Foot and Ankle were so helpful and kind. Not only did they help me with my concern, they had a hand full of other treatments that caught my eye. I'll definitely go to this office in the future.

Dr. Carlis is both professional and personable. He is knowledgable, a great listener, has a calm demeanor, and is very thorough during exams. Highly recommended for adults, teens, and kids. His medical team is also fantastic and very kind. They never seem bothered by questions and make our family feel very comfortable during appointments.

Clean office, friendly staff. The doctor asked good questions and gave full consideration to my answers. Friendly, but not pushy. Doctor sent me for a blood test, and called when the results came in. Again, clear answers and well-informed recommendations.

Dr. Scott was cordial and kind during my last visit. Despite no outward (or inward for that matter) signs of the cause of my foot pain, he was not invalidating of my circumstances. I felt that he respected the level of pain I had and did not make me feel absurd for seeking help. His practice favors lower risk treatments and will always go with simpler treatments before taking drastic measures. Their bedside manner and business practices lead me to believe they genuinely have the patient's best interest in mind. I highly recommend visiting Scott or one of his associates.
More than 1 year agoMatthew B.Verified patient
Dr. Carlis is a superb doctor helping his patients in a variety of ways. He has helped me in three main areas including fitting me for orthotics, toenail fungi, and toe joint pain. He takes complex subjects and explains it in layman's terms while always being personable and friendly. This is a rare combination in a doctor. As long as I continue to have foot problems, this is my foot doc indefinitely! I would highly recommend him.

November 14, 2019Arletty N.Verified patient
Very personable and listened to all my concerns. He observed something other podiatrists hadn’t caught in previous years. Highly recommended!
More than 1 year agoNikki B.Verified patient
He really listened to my concerns, thoroughly reviewed my paperwork with me, and I felt like we had a good treatment plan when I left. It was a very efficient appointment without feeling rushed or unheard (which I feel often happens a lot at a dr appointment.) I am very satisfied with Dr Carlos and the entire staff!! I expect to see great results and a reduction in pain from his treatment plan.
October 8, 2019Katie R.Verified patient
I was very impressed with all the staff. The doctor was patient, kind, and spent a good deal of time explaining my issue so that I could really understand what was going on. He helped me have hope for a path to recovery, and I’m extremely pleased to have found this office.
September 30, 2019Michelle S.Verified patient
My son was very nervous about getting seen for an infected toe due to an ingrown toenail. Dr, Carlis immediately engaged him in conversation and made him feel comfortable, He took his time to ensure my son could not feel anything and the procedure went great!
Dr. Carlis and his staff are very friendly and professional. The office was very clean and has some amazing photographs around the clinic.
July 30, 2019Gavin S.Verified patient
Great guy! Very knowledgeable and personable.
July 12, 2019Brent S.Verified patient
Dr Carlis and his medical assistant and staff we incredibly professional and kind. The office is modern, clean and bright. Location is super convenient across from Ikea in Renton. I was super nervous about my procedure but he took the time to explain the process and my options thoroughly. I would give him 6 stars if I could. I highly recommend receiving services from this office and Dr Carlis.

Dr. Carlis is very knowledgeable, thorough, friendly, and he really cares about his patients. He takes the most conservative approach first, but is willing to discuss all kinds of treatments. I highly recommend him.
