The office was nicely decorated. The office staff is ready to help and easy to reach over the phone. I love their live chat!
I underwent the therapy he recommended along with wearing my custom insoles. This fixed my heel pain in about six weeks. The doctor is very professional and the staff is kind.
I highly recommend that you see him if you wish on your feet and suffer with long-term heel pain like I did. The therapy he put me on combined with the custom insoles he made for me worked wonders.
He's a highly professional and inquisitive doctor. I appreciate the fact that his office is equipped with an x-ray and ultrasound machines. He diagnosed me accurately and offered me half a dozen treatments.
Outstanding! My wife made the appointment for me after I injured my toe. The doctor was super thorough and the staff was VERY kind. I highly highly recommend them!
I had a great experience with Dr. Petkov both times. I appreciate how clean and modern his office is. The staff was friendly and efficient. The doctor was very easy to talk to and helped my foot pain tremendously.
Great doctor and staff!
Great doctor and staff. Clean office environment. Waited about 10 min. to be seen. Not bad at all. I'm happy with the overall service.
My father recommended Dr. Petkov to me and I'm SO glad i went to see him. He's a really great foot doc. Saw me on time, spent a good 25-30 minutes with me, ran some tests, and explained the results on my next visit. The billing person is ready to help and easy to reach, too.
Dr. Petkov is a great doctor! He asks important questions, presents you with all the information, and lets you make a decision about your treatment plan. He has a fun personality which helped distract me from the pain. His office is very modern and has a lot of technology which I love.
Great experience from the time I entered his office (which looks like a spa more than a doctor's office) to the time I left. The front desk gals were cordial and helpful. The doctor was insightful and very smart. All my questions and concerns were answered by him right away. Definitely worth the visit!
Great experience all around! I didn't wait longer than 10 min. The doctor was very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. He was so friendly! I love my treatment so far.
Beautiful office and courteous staff. I left feeling like my feet would be fixed and I would be able to walk without pain. Very excited about that.
Verified patient

Outstanding experience all around. I'm very pleased with his bedside manner and how knowledgeable he was on helping me get rid of my problem.
Amazing doctor. Very knowledgeable and patient. My whole family sees him. The office is gorgeous and comfortable too. Highly recommend!!!
Best office from the front desk to the medical assistant to the doctor. Dr. Petkov listened to all my concerns. I felt very welcomed and cared for.
The visit was great, from initial call of scheduling the appointment, to the check in experience to the intake with the medical assistant. Dr. Petkov is very knowledgeable and makes sure you understand everything that he is doing. The biller is great as well, he is very quick with getting back to you with any inquiries you may have. I definitely recommend anyone with any foot or ankle problems visit this beautiful office.
My daughter and I are both patients of Dr. Petkov. He's great at diagnosing and treating the cause of chronic foot pain. We recommend him to all of our friends and family.
Dr. Petkov is a wonderful doctor! I would not trust anybody else with my feet. His office is gorgeous and the staff that works there is so friendly and eager to help. Highly recommend them!
I love the doctor and his staff. The girls are amazing and so welcoming. The biller Christian is always such a great help with any questions in regards to billing. I only recommend Dr.Petkov and his staff for any foot care problems.
The name of the practice is a representation of the treatment of patients; Premier. The office is stunning. Dr. Petkov answered all of my questions and has a great bedside manner. I couldn't be any happier! I will be referring my friends and family here without a doubt.
One of the nicest offices I have ever visited, the staff is exceptional, the doctor is prompt and straight to the point, the customer service is phenomenal. I mean from the lobby including top of the line refreshments to the handwritten thank you card sent post-visit; I mean they truly make you feel welcome and appreciated! They validate your concerns and are thorough on what your insurance is supposed to cover. High recommend this office and team!
