Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Care Provider
Dr. Pearl is very knowledgeable about the stresses people and especially athletes place on their feet and ankles. He emphasizes proper running and shoes to avoid injuries. This is very important. Curing problems is good, but prevention is better. Dr. Pearl prevents problems. I would consult with him any day for problems.

Cutting edge. Loved the results from the electromagnet and infrared. Joy made me feel very comfortable and was clear on the whole process. I recommend AF&A

Horrible podiatrist!
This doctor's bedside manner is very poor. In addition, his office in general is quite disorganized and is very focused on purely profiting from patients. In order to get my test results released, he required me to either make an appointment or to pay $10. I said I would gladly make an appointment if there was anything abnormal but please just tell me if everything is normal because it makes no sense if it's fine. That was not an option. I could either pay $10 or have an appointment even if the doctor was just going to say okay everything is fine. Insane!

A very knowledgable and caring professional
I booked back to back appointments for my son and I. My son went first, and just for a hangnail. Yet Dr. P discovered my kid had a serious orthopedic problem that all the other arthropods we'd seen had missed! Dr P spent a lot of time with my son to get the serious problem solved right. I even had to reschedule my own appointment for another day, but was happy to do it. Yay Dr. P!

Salesman
1st consultation told me the same thing on the follow up and try to sell me things each time. He wasn't clear of exactly what the issue was, but each time I had something waiting for me to buy when it came to pay. Waist of time and money!

Fracture after accident
I got into a car accident and was told i had a very bad sprain and a fracture. I went to see ortho but was not happy at all with my patient care so i went to Dr.Pearl for a 2nd opinion .front desk was great , they got me checked in quickly and sent me the link to my new patient paper work which i was able to fill out before coming in. I was taken back just a few minutes after arriving. I was extremely happy because dr.Pearl answered all my questions and showed me my Xray and explained the whole issue. He was very honest about what my treatment options were and how effective they would be. I go back in 2 weeks for a f/u to see how I am healing.

I fractured and dislocated my big toe pretty badly this summer. Dr. Pearl was able to do a closed reduction to reset the joint so I wouldn't need surgery. He's been awesome through all of my follow up appointments and his staff are super nice and easy to work with.

Foot surgery can be a daunting experience. But if you are considering it, then consider Dr. Pearl. He and the staff are very informal, and I was relaxed from the first moment I stepped in his offices. Dr. Pearl went through all the options, especially avoiding surgery altogether. We ended up deciding on less intrusive surgery, which suited my age and the relatively short expected time-to-recover. We ran into a couple of challenges during post-op, but he and the staff were very responsive. We also laughed a lot with every visit. Kudos to the team and thanks.

My 14-year old son is an around the year athlete in hockey and baseball and had been struggling with foot pain for some time. We tried all the methods for plantar fasciitis with no avail. Dr. Pearl was able to quickly diagnose the pain source, provide meaningful and effective options to reduce the current pressure points and develop on a long-term strategy.

Dr Pearl has been treating my planar facitious and has done a tremendous job. He helped me overcome this in my right foot 10 years ago, and now in my left foot. He is a dedicated professional, listens to his patients, and always follows up. With his treatment and recommendations, I have been able to overcome this extremely painful condition. I highly recommend him for any foot ailments.

Dr pearl has been treating me for the last several weeks for a painful soft tissue injury on the top of my foot. He has spent a great deal of time with me discussing different treatment options. I really appreciate his conservative approach to my treatment plan. He has been very honest, direct and thorough each visit. He suggested trying Shockwave therapy (EPAT) and after the first treatment I felt remarkably better! I have had several subsequent shockwave treatments and am now able to perform normal daily activities and get back to walking and yoga. Thank you Dr Pearl and team!

I had a huge infection on my toe that urgent care could not help. Right before I decided to go to the ER, I decided to call his office and set an appointment. He took me in promptly on an emergency basis. He was so patient and professional. He told me clearly how was he was going to treat it. After the visit he promptly called in a prescription to my pharmacy. I am so grateful that the infection went away along with the pain.

I've seen Dr Pearl for two different foot/ankle problems. In both instances, Dr Pearl has taken the time to listen to me and understand my specific issues and pains. He has provided treatments that provided significant relief on the spot and full recovery in a relatively short period following his recommendations. Dr Pearl is personable, friendly, and has a great "bedside manner". I'll continue to rely on him for any further foot or ankle problems.

Recently, I was researching some alternative treatment options for an old heel injury that had flared up while teaching a yoga class. I have tried ART and Graston technique with minimal success. I was interested in trying ESWT and Dr Pearl came highly recommended. After only a few sessions and some proper footwear (the office carries some great options) I am very pleased with my results. I am back in the studio with no pain! Thank you Dr Pearl and staff for your quick attention and willingness to work with my hectic schedule!

I visited Dr. Pearl for replacement orthotics. He was knowledgeable, took impressions, suggested a topical for toenail fungus. There was a question about the length of time since my last orthotics had been for by my insurance. I called and left a message with the information but I never heard more. It's been 5 months and I was called about making an appointment. He used a new technology for measuring my feet for orthotics. I hope I'll hear in about two weeks about the orthotics.
