This is my first time there and I was very pleased with the nurses and especially for Dr. Pearson. And I thank him very much because he did a really, really good job. Thank you. Okay, that's it.
Great office staff and doctor. Highly recommended
Dr Pearson was wonderful! He listened to my symptoms, asked questions, and made me feel comfortable. He gave me treatment options in a caring manner. I will definitely come back to see him for my condition moving forward. 5 stars.
You did everything right.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful.
The podiatry clinic is awesome. Everyone was friendly and engaged with the patients. I couldn't ask for better treatment.

Everything well.
My experience at your office was very good. Will return !
Dr Pearson is a wonderful doctor!! I wish he could be my primary physician! YOU MUST DO ALL YOU CAN TO KEEP HIM!!!
I love Dr Pearson and his staff!!
everyone was great
Yes, everybody was very professional and friendly. Thank you very much.
Dr Pearson was very thorough in his explanations! & made sure we were understanding!
Everything went fine . thank you.
This facility has a bad habit of setting an appointment without notifying you when the appointment's been made because my mother is in assisted care and it doesn't coordinate with my schedule and a lot of times when I ask for an appointment I'm being told not directly. That's the only thing that I can say I'd like to have improved.
I am frustrated that my foot is swollen and worse than a month ago. It hurts enough to have to use Tylenol. I have had to hobble and scoot for tooooo longi think and now the MRI PROBLEM.
Excellent!
Dr. Pearson did great, staff did so so all went fine.
Always courteous and easy to understand. Answers all my questions.
I was especially impressed with the doctor. The doctor always, that person always explains just a lot, that teaches me an awful lot about my feet and about my neuropathy and even some other things that are related, explaining why certain places hurt and whether I'll ever be able to cure them or not. And I just learned a lot and I feel good about it.
Couldn't do any better.
You did it all correctly. From start to finish
Everything went the way it was supposed to; Dr. Pearson and staff are the best.
Great # 1
Staff was very professional & did a superb job.
They did a good job. Thank you.
Everything went fine. No complaints. If the Dr. had told me I was going to live for ever I would have given the visit 10s
I was treated with kindness and respect
Efficient, prompt and courteous. Perfect in every way
Professional and very good care
Made me feel like I was the only one being treated
Keep up the good work
A very nice experience. Thank you all very much!
Every one was very respectful and explained things in common terms instead of the big medical terms that you can't understand. Thank you dr Pearson and staff
Dr. Pearson is an excellent physician. He's compassionate and very knowledgeable. It was difficult to call his office. I'm not a fan of facility trunk lines. Unfortunately the trunk lines are far too common in healthcare.
No improvement needed
From the beginning to the end everything was just fine
Awesome visit as usual!
Cut all toe nails as a courtesy..
Everyone has treated me with respect and I felt well taken care of
From the nice lady who checked me in to the nurse that took my vitals and the doctor, everything was great. Appreciate the great service. Merry Christmas and happy New Year!
When checking in, everyone seemed too busy to help me, on the phone, insincere, just clicking buttons.
Keep Dr Pearson!!!!
Needs improvement on responding to calls for appointment
It was perfect !
Everyone treated me with respect and kindness I am happy to have Dr Pearson for my needs he is a excellent podiatrist
Dr.Pearson and the staff were very friendly and informative the visit was a very nice appointment
Great!
Everything went well. I have no suggestions for improvement.
Dr Pearson is a great doctor
Same day results on blood and x-ray
Always a great experience with this office. Always courteous, friendly, treated with respect and never have had any complaint whatsoever.
The provider and staff were extremely professional and I appreciate how they took care of me. This was my first time to ever go to a podiatrist and they made me feel comfortable. Even when I was getting a shot in my foot, it was not an experience, it was not a bad experience. Overall, the doctor and the staff were great.
Dr Pearson is simply the best.
Dr. Pearson was WONDERFUL! He not only took GREAT CARE of me; he was patient, friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. He taught me a lot about my feet and neuropathy.
was fine as it was!
My experience was perfect. Nurse, doctor, all staff, everybody was excellent. Thank you.
Everything was totally satisfactory.
I do tell people all the time. He is so kind and gentle. He doesn't treat me like an old person he treats me like I am his only patient every time I go to him and same with the staff. Hats off to this department.
You did everything right
I can't think of anything that could've been done better. Everyone was amazing.
Dr p always does a great job.
God blessings to all the doctors and nurses, they all always working hard everyday. God give them health, give them strength to provide the good care that the patient needs.

Good doctor, everyone was great. I'll be back
The care was excellent and pretty quick as well as being on time for what I was scheduled. Dr. Pearson and his staff were wonderful as always. they are very knowledgeable, kind and compassionate to their patients.

Very friendly, efficient staff. Dr Pearson was easy to talk with, listened carefully, and didn't make me feel rushed.
Smiling attentive staff
Everything was excellent!
The work done on my foot by Dr. Pearson was done briefly, quickly, didn't take care of the problem. My foot was hurting the minute I left the door. It was not dealt with well. I'm having to go back over and over and over. Thank you.
Everyone did a good job.
Overall visit was great.
Very caring, compassionate, and truly cares about his patients. I've been a patient of his for many long years and he has never been anything except for caring and compassionate. He listens to everything you tell or ask him and he always explains everything to where you can understand it. Awesome physician
Listened and had options, good "bedside " manner. Staff is great.
Dr Pearson and his whole staff and everyone associated did a terrific job and treated me with respect.
They were really nice. They were quick. The doctor was nice. He was concerned. Everything went well. I really liked it. I'm going to come back. That's it. Everything was excellent.
Was treated well by everyone
