Stephanie was amazing! She was super nice and friendly and explained everything to me clearly. Reminded me to breath when I was freaking out and had a great conversation during the procedure. They also gave me a water bottle after because I was feeling light headed. Her office is also very clean. The receptionist also was very nice and double checked my insurance coverage so I didn’t overpay. Overall a great experience would highly recommend!

April 26, 2023Kristoffer J.Verified patient
I’m super impressed. I’d never been to a podiatrist prior to my visit. I actually decided to give her a try based on recommendations from another of her patients that I know. She was so patient and thorough with her explanation of what she was examining for and next steps. I’ve found that so many medical professionals speak to patients as if they, too, studied medicine or as if they were children. She did neither. She was so personable. She even humored my toddler by engaging with her, too.
I’m excited about the care plan she mapped out and happy that I will be pain-free soon.
April 19, 2023Mercedes J.Verified patient
