The office is clean , but very very dated. Extremely small. The person at the desk was very friendly. The nurse was ok. The doctor saw me for maybe 5 minutes. That was it. Seemed in a bit of a hurry’s
April 22, 2025Julie S.Verified patient
Everything was wonderful. The receptionist went out of her way to make sure my medical ride, Transnet, picked me up. I was there way to early and in the rush left my cell and glasses. They were both needed . I already told some folks. Thank you so much ??????????

Independent Foot and Ankle has many offices in many areas. My appointment was scheduled for a Friday at 4:30. I went to the one in Lansdale but made the appointment for their Sellersville office. The receptionist was so nice. It was the end of most people workday. She called Sellersville after telling me I should head over. The Sellersville office waited for me. Not only that but they were so friendly and kind! The doctor I saw was great! He was very informative and explained two different surgical ways to correct my foot.
