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.

He has great bedside manner and understanding of orthotics, no complaints there. However, he did not wear gloves while scraping my plantar’s wart, and downplayed the side effects of oral terbinafine (5 of which I developed after only a few days on it.) He did not order a liver function test or explain that frequent liver and white blood cell function tests are best practice with the drug. If all you need is orthotics, he should be fine, but I wouldn’t recommend him for anything infectious.

Great bed side manner
Dr. Ware is one of those doctors that you don't see anymore. He has such great bedside manner and does not treat you like a number but like a person. I highly recommend him for podiatric needs.

Dr. Ware is the best! I’ve always had issues with my right foot for the last 10 years and have seen SO many doctors. One of my friends recently recommended Dr. Ware so I thought I’d give it a try. My FIRST visit with Dr. Ware he figured out the problem with my foot! It feels so much better now! It’s a true miracle! Thank you so much Dr. Ware!

I have a fused ankle and Dr. Ware knew exactly what to do to get me walking without horrendous pain. I do not go anywhere else, even though I live 50 miles away from his office.

Worst experience I’ve ever had at a doctors office. Old and smelly office, horrible staff, unwelcoming environment. Didn’t even see the doctor. Will never return.

I have seen Dr. Ware countless times in the past three years after getting diagnosed with arthritis in my left big toe that progressed very quickly. I am a long distance runner so this was a very painful, frustrating, and scary condition to have. Upon his recommendation I had him fuse the toe last October. I was able to very gradually ease back into running just 6 weeks later, ran a half marathon 6 months later, and as he predicted, will be running a full marathon a year later. Extremely happy!
