Dr. Blanken and his team were wonderful today! I booked a last-minute appointment the night before, and they were in communication with me early this morning to confirm. Everyone at the office was incredibly kind and reassuring as I navigated an unexpected procedure. They explained everything thoroughly and helped ensure that I was taken care of. Highly recommend.
Verified patient
I would highly recommend Dr. Blanken. I had seen another podiatrist already this year. The podiatrist himself was OK, but his office seems very unorganized. They were difficult to get in touch with, and had me act as the middleman between his office and my insurance. I was never able to straighten it out. This is all to say that Dr. Blanken’s office was the complete opposite. Everybody was friendly and competent. He will be my podiatrist moving forward.
Verified patient
He is great!
Verified patient
Professional yet personal atmosphere. I was a first-time patient, but the paperwork was reasonable and the visit was very smooth.
Dr. S Blanken listened carefully to the description of my symptoms and was attentive to my concerns. He proposed a plan of treatment and offered me a few options. I felt in very good hands!
Verified patient
I really appreciated my experience with Dr. Blanken. I was in real pain and Dr. Blanken did a great job in diagnosing the problem, explaining next steps, and helping to treat me. I walked out of the appointment feeling far better than I entered. I would definitely recommend Dr. Blanken, he was very thorough and did a great job explaining my ailment and the steps he was taking.
Verified patient
Pleasant experience, issues and recommendations were explained well by Dr Blanken. I enjoyed and appreciated the personable atmosphere.
I had a very informative appointment with the Dr. Blaken where all my questions and concerns were answered and given options for corrective treatments. I am very pleased with both the experience and professionalism of both Dr. and staff. I highly recommend Dr. Blaken for all your podiatry needs.
Verified patient
Dr. (Steven) Blanken was great! Very welcoming and attentive. He took time to review my results with me and discuss treatments and made sure I understood what was going on. He was very upfront about costs as well, which I appreciated. His office staff were very friendly as well.
Verified patient
Dr. Blanken listened to my concerns and was thorough in the exam. He explained the x-rays to me, clearly communicated how to treat the issue I'm experiencing, and was nice to talk to!
Verified patient
Dr. Steven Blanken listened to my concerns and explained what is going on with my feet and the corrective measures that can be taken. He engaged me in conversations that made me feel welcome and at ease, and that I am a valued patient. I’ve been seeing Dr. Blanken for more than 4 years.

Their offices are located in an older, established office building so rooms are smaller, but we'll furnished with autographed photos of sports figures which I liked. Smaller offices with doors open slowed nurses and doctors to come and go quickly and communicate needs easily. It also allows you to hear the wonderful bedside manner of Dr. Blanken explaining procedures and reassuring patients. I found that comforting, especially with my anxiety from visits to other podiatrists. I had an ingrown toenail repaired and Dr. Blanken administered anesthetic almost painlessly and I didn't feel any pain firing the procedure. I was thrilled with that.
Very good appointment. Doctor was very clear about explaining my condition and options. Loved that my appointment started at my appointment time
Verified patient
He was very nice and empathetic. He was able to quickly remove a splinter from my foot that was hard to find and provided effective treatment.
Verified patient
I love Dr. Steven Blanken! He not only is an expert in podiatry, he also has an excellent bedside manner and could do stand up comedy. He really put me at ease which is saying a lot since I have chronic pain and have been suffering for years. My lucky day to have found a caring and talented healer!
Verified patient
I was seen by the younger Dr. Blanken. He made the process easy to understand, and he made sure I saw the xrays of my foot. His staff was very friendly and helpful with getting doctor's note, form for my handicap placard, and they even gave me some tips to walk better on my crutches.

Wonderful office, great office.
Verified patient
I got there 20mins early to make sure my paperwork was completed. I made my appointment for 1pm. Right after lunch. I figured no one should be running behind. I left work for this. I'm a nurse myself. I'm on my feet all day. I needed this appointment. By 1:45 I still had not been seen. By this time I had to leave to get my child on time. I'm very disappointed. None of my issues were able to be addressed. Nothing resolved. I'm not going back. I told the staff i had to leave and it didn't seem to matter. They were nice but it doesn't matter when you're waiting a hour for your appointment.
Verified patient
The nurse who came before the doctor was adamant that I needed an X-ray for a fungal infection… I said no, and she seemed bothered I didn’t want to do it. It took the doctor about 35 minutes to see me after that.
Dr. Charles is very attentive with great bedside manner. She explained both diagnosis, treatment, and next steps very well to me.
Verified patient
The podiatrist Dr. Charles was amazing. She was pleasant and engaging and really broke down my ankle/foot issue in a way that was easy to follow. Her staff were all friendly and welcoming as well! I would gladly recommend her to anyone seeking help with a foot or ankle injury.
Verified patient
Dr. Charles is the best. Very thorough, and truly cares about her patients. I will be referring others to her for sure. Caring providers are hard to find. Thank you Dr. Charles and staff!
