Keyes For Toes

This place is mostly concerned about cosmetics than pain.
This is fine, but not sufficient for my needs. I went in the facility for a consultation and it left a feeling of distaste in my mouth. The doctor was okay, but it’s his practice so every aspect of the visit reflects on him. I saw his financial person 1^st and their questionnaire was a little odd. I was asked to rate my confidence in the doctor, which I stated initially it was high, due to reviews but that I needed to see him to know for sure. She asked how I liked the look of my feet and to rate them. This was fine as I know their primary business are from people who are mostly concerned with the aesthetics of their feet. But the doctor is a podiatrist, so one would think that persons with pain would be important too. Overall, I was thoroughly turned off by their insurance policy. For out of network providers the patient’s insurance pays the patient. This means the patient pays everything out of pocket and then they get reimbursed by their insurance. But they state that if the insurance pays above the quoted amount, the «extra» money belongs to the clinic. Lastly, I also didn’t like being pitched to use care credit. Overall it may be good for some, but not me. I found someone to my liking who did a thorough exam with xrays and learned I needed a different type of surgery than the one being pitched and they don’t use screws either.

I found Dr. Keyes to be exceptional. He was my 5^th podiatrist and quickly diagnosed the problem, corrected it voila. When another foot issue arose, I was disappointed to find he only deals with surgeries, not maintenance, so I had to hit the road to find another capable podiatrist.

I have been to dozens of dr offices but none as well run as this one-​yes the billing lady is a bit intense but that is her job-​The dr is an artist who loves what he does– my daughter moved out of tow after surgery so the after care consists of her emailing pix and Dr Keyes reviewing them and responding immediately. There is a little pain but for my daughter, who would not go barefoot or wear sandals, it was an easy decision-​and she is thrilled!

After suffering from painful foot issues for years, I was really excited about this place. I was a bit turned off by the store-​front looking office they are located in AND I had to wait an hour to see the doctor but I tried to look past it. I will make this quick. I was extremely pleased with the Doctor after my consultation and was actually going to have him perform the procedure I needed. But any interest or excitement went right out the window after seeing his «Billing lady». I was brought to her office for her to «go over my options», and it felt more like I was at a used car dealership/​Palm Reader than a doctors office. She was so whimsical and unprofessional, hard to understand, fumbling over papers, scribbling costs than crossing out numbers, writing down procedure dates, I was like huh? She kept repeating how «specialized» they are and how I’m getting a «deal». I am seeking treatment NOT a car! I literally told her to keep her paperwork and walked out of her office. Needless to say, they lost a patient.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Keyes at Keyes for Toes… so much so that I actually made a Wordpress blog about my experience from start to finish. If you have any toe issue that is bothering you, I highly recommend Dr. Keyes. My 2^nd toe was curved and longer than the rest, and the shortening has been great! No longer do I have to worry about incorrect shoe sizes, shoes not fitting right and causing pain, or shoes looking weird because of the affected toe on each foot (it looked especially bad with peep toe shoes… That was really the straw that broke the camel’s back.). Now I would be lying if I said the aftermath was 100% painless… It’s surgery, so you have to be realistic. However, I can say I was working a retail job directly afterward and I was consistently on my feet, and it really wasn’t bad! Just don’t stub your pretty new toes!!!
