Mark T. Hastings, D.P.M.

GREAT DOCTOR…
Fun, personable and overall just nice. My little baby toe was having major issues and Dr. Hastings took care of it right away! My pain was immediately gone… YEAH!

Dr. Hastings has a great manner, understands the importance for women to wear great shoes and is so easy to talk with. I highly recommend him and am going to take my daughter to him as well.

Well, what can I say? Sometimes I’m not too bright.
After my fun trip to Tucson, AZ, I came back from there with a broken foot. Well, I didn’t exactly know that at the time but, alas after about three weeks and the bruises were gone and the pain was not I decided that I should have someone other than my co-​workers, look at my foot.
At first I called my regular podiatrist, yes, I have a regular one, I’m just that clumsy (did I mention I tried tap dancing too? But I digress). My regular podiatrist was out of town and not expected back for a couple of weeks well, I’ve already pushed the envelope on this so I asked his office for a few names. The first one they gave me was Dr. Mark Hastings. He like my other podiatrist, is a one man show so they tend to trade clients back and forth.
I was pleasantly surprised that his office was nearby and he was able to get me in for an appointment soon.
When we first met, he said, «Hi, I’m Dr. Hastings,» and I said, «Pleased to meet you, I’m a dumb ass.» He said, «No one has ever introduced themselves like that before.» I said,“Well, probably when you hear the story of how I broke my foot you’ll agree.“
I go on to explain that while I’m at the ball park in Arizona my bf decided to walk across the seats to get to our seats. I decided to follow him.
This was my first error as this is not something I would normally do but alas, caught in the heat of the moment I decided to follow.
Well, I made the mistake that probably others have and stepped back on the chair (hey, I’m new at this give me a break) and of course fell through. Well, I was ok at that point, nothing broken but what I did next sealed it. I tried to get up by pushing on the seat down, oops stupid adrenaline, my feet are still in the chair. So, with a little help from by bf and the neighboring people I got out of the chair.
So, Dr. Hastings, said, What did they say at urgent care?” I said, Urgent care? He said, «Didn’t you see someone at urgent care?» I said, «No, I’m seeing you now three weeks later.»
Well, he took x-​rays and it was indeed broken and after much trouble with some of the boots he issued me a boot and I was on my way.
Dr. Hastings made a bad situation much better. Very nice and easy to work with. He’s also a great sports fan so if you have a chance take a look at the huge Portland Trail Blazer shoes in the front display. Very cool.
Hopefully, I won’t do something as crazy as this again but if I do I know where to go.
