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.

Ingrown Toenail
Dr. Aung quickly and efficiently removed my ingrown toenail without considerable pain, even without anesthetic. Dr. Aung was clear in the cost of the procedure and the examination, and explicitly refused to make assessments or estimates on costs before examining my toe, which is completely opposite to what some of the reviews here suggest… I would recommend Dr. Aung.

Beware
I went to see her in April. Told me I had to have surgery. I waited 2 months before I got a call about some personal issue which is the reason I never got a call for 2 months. If that was the case, why didn't the office contact the patients. During my visit, I paid my co-pay. For 6 months I continue to receive text messages that I still owe. I've called and even sent PROOF that I paid. But still get the text messages. This is a very unprofessional physician.

Saga of Orthotics
Desperate foot pain; discussed orthotics with Dr Aung and had impressions done. Paid down payment after impressions and remainder at time of fitting. Expected to get discount for total of $485 to pay total without billing insurance. However smaller print said payment had to be complete at time of impressions. The orthotics killed my feet. Had refitted, still killed my feet. Was billed a total out of pocket of $802.00. Insurance was charged another $833. All for more pain. I kept all my receipts and insurance billing statements in case anyone questions this. I discovered that TOI has a certified orthotist and the charge for one pair is around $300. Finally relief!!!??

Dr. Aung was very knowledgeable, caring and practical. She even called me at home the evening after my procedure to check on me! Tracy in her front office was helpful. She could use additional office staff for which she is looking. I have already given her name to two other people.

I've been seeing Dr. Aung for many years and have NEVER had an issue with her or her staff. I rarely have to wait before being shown to an exam room and they are always well stocked and spotless. Dr. Aung is always prompt when seeing me, listens carefully to my complaint and starts examining right away. I have never had a misdiagnosis nor a treatment that didn't work. I came to her with an ulcer on my foot that wouldn't heal despite treatments with my former podiatrist. By now it had developed a MRSA infection and I was sent to see Dr. Aung. I needed 2 surgeries to remove it from the bone and intensive antibiotic treatment. It healed fine without recurrence. I would always recommend this clinic. They are so dedicated to getting the proper treatment for you and to work around your schedule.

I have finally decided to write and post this review after 3 months of trying to get satisfaction from Aung Foot Health Clinic. This review is not intended to be vindictive, more a cautionary tale for prospective clients. My initial visit to Dr. Aung was in late November due to extreme pain in my left heel. Dr. Aung was very personable and her staff was helpful in setting up the appointment, etc. She took X-rays of both of my feet and apparently noticed a heel spur on my right foot. She immediately addressed that encouraging me to schedule surgery to have my heel scrapped, even when I reminded her many times that the pain I was there about was in my left heel. She then gave me orthotics to wear in both of my shoes which she said would correct the pain in my left heel. I noticed that the orthotics were already in the room before the x-rays were taken(?). I paid $75 for the orthotics and left. I wore them for the next two days and my pain increased, to the point where getting out of be

I was her patient for 3 months, she said I jut had a callous and she cut on it and told me to put saline on it and keep it wrapped. I kept telling her I thought it was infected, she kept telling me it wasn't. I ended up in the hospital for 3 days with a horrible infection in my foot. Doctors were concerned the infection had gone down to the bone. Thankful I didn't lose my foot. This woman should not be allowed to practice medicine.

This woman (doctor?) and her husband book keeper were absolutely horrible! Mom needed braces for her feet - they took casts and after almost nine agonizing months of excuse after excuse as to why they had not been completed, we were denied a refund stating that they just don't do that. In my many years in the medical industry I have never seen a less professional facility and care. Honestly ridiculous. Check out her background THOROUGHLY - her "reviews" by her family are misleading.

Dr. Aung performed surgery on my foot, correcting two bunions and removing a "huge" neuroma. The entire procedure went flawlessly; the recovery from anesthesia was very fast; and the only mild pain medication required was for the first three nights. I didn't know recovery could be so easy. Dr. Aung is an amazing physician and surgeon.
