January 3, 2019Cyndi C.Verified patient
45 mins wait is too long, especially for a treatment that only took 7-8 mins to take care off. Billing department was bad, no idea about what they were supposed to charge me and every time I come I get charged something different. Even though I have been there 4 times I get treated like its my first time everytime and its really just a waste of everyones time. I hope I can find a better podiatrist.

Dr. Larka was very polite and efficient. My wait time was long because she was helping another patient off location. She was extremely apologetic about it. Staff was very friendly and polite and made sure I didn’t need anything. When she looked at my injury, she made sure I understood what was going on and why the most important parts of treatment were important. Highly recommend!
July 21, 2018Susan T.Verified patient

Visit was thorough. Dr was a little behind because of service man for Internet, but diagnosis was correct and appropriate action taken. Would have liked more detail and explanation on what x-ray showed
October 6, 2017Regina P.Verified patient
I was not guided well enough about the pricing at all. I told them I was self paying so they should have guided me through the various options and a recommend treatment plan. Doctor was nice and professional, but my personal needs were not asked for and guided thereafter.

Dr. and her employees were very thorough and provided excellent comprehensive explanations about there procedures and how to self care.

Dr. Larkin is generous with her time and explaining and planningtreatment. She takes a direct and the holistic approach to the patient to achieve the best outcome. Of all the doctors I've met she is one-of-a-kind! In a very good way.Direct honest and deeply caring and empathetic. Thank you Dr. Larkin.
May 24, 2017Marvin C.Verified patient
Dr. Larka is incredible. She is personable and did everything to ensure my tendency to faint was avoided and made me feel comfortable and relaxed. I actually enjoyed our conversation as well it wasn't just a distraction from the procedure. She handled the situation and my delicate psych with doctor visits very well and even taught me a breathing technique to avoid it in the future. If I have any foot or ankle issues in the future, she is no doubt the doctor I will see.

October 10, 2016Rosita R.Verified patient
Ulla is always straight to the point and offers the best remedies to solve your problem. She lets you make the choice regarding your treatment and will tell you if you've made the wrong one. I especially appreciate that the last option is surgery. She works diligently with you to avoid surgery unless it's absolutely the last resort. I also like it that she has lots of stories to tell that keeps the conversation interesting throughout the visit!
Ulla takes a personal interest in her patients and their issues and I'm very confident that she will get me back to normal as soon as she possibly can!
