  Not too impressed. The receptionist did not complete my check in correctly ( no Medicare number), no prescription ( pain meds) called in. So I have to wait for 2 days to get it filled. Not great when you have been told that you would feel better next week.

  To say Dr. Hodos basically saved my life wouldn't be far from the truth. I had a misdiagnosed infected toe/toenail by a handful of doctors, including my primary care and another podiatrist, before seeing Dr. Hodos. After treating said toe he was proactive enough to send in a sample for a biopsy and it turned out to be a rare but aggressive cancer/melanoma. Fast forward now a few weeks and past several sleepless nights and tears shed. The surgical oncologist at Duke amputated the toe and also took lymph nodes for testing to make sure the cancer hadn't spread. I spoke with that doctor today and I'm happy to report the cancer had not spread. I'll be meeting with the medical oncologist at Duke next week and we'll talk about the immunotherapy we discussed at the initial consultations I had with both him and the surgical oncologist. Either way my prognosis and future look bright due in no small part to Dr. Hodos who took the time to do what he felt was needed. I can't thank him enough.

  Billing department is bad. If your self pay or have insurance they charge you twice and wont remove unless ucall them multiple times. I paid in full and still getting emails about balance and just got a letter in the mail yesterday. Ridiculous. What I’m really most mad about is they charged me about $170 when I was trying to get new inserts that I could’ve just called and ordered but no one told me so i made an appointment instead came in for about 5 mins minutes they charged me about 170$. They already had the old casting no need for me to even come in. Bad communication and place that seems like a scam

  Dr. Hodos is phenomenal!! He is so kind, caring and was invested in my best interest. We ended up having to do surgery, and Dr. Hodos walked me through all the possible scenarios. I truly appreciate him and his nurse! Also, I’d like to acknowledge the surgery coordinator. She is absolutely fabulous as she worked diligently to get me in as I was on a short time frame to get the surgery done. I would highly recommend Dr. Hodos! Thank you, team!

  Dr. Judge rejected my belief that I had painful plantar fasciitis again. As he was looking at my feet, he became emotional and frustrated for reasons he never clarified. I had chemotherapy a few years ago and my feet were affected visibly. As I was explaining things to him, he threw his hands up in the air and said "oh great"! He seemed so mad or irritated with me and said..."Look, you just have really bad feet"! Wow! This came out of the mouth of a clinician??? So, then I had to ask him what does that mean? He replied...."Look at the difference in your feet and pointed to healthy areas of one foot and then to the other without any clinical or diagnostic information. He left abruptly about 2 times and I had to ask the assistant to ask him to come back to explain what he saw in my X-rays which he previously dismissed earlier as nothing worrisome. Again, he could never be bothered to educate me as all other doctors take the time to do during a visit. I found another podiatrist who validated me and treated me with dignity and real concern. I'm totally pain free now thanks to Dr. Brower at Instride Foot and Ankle in WF.
