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.

I highly recommend Dr Glod
I have been a patient for 12 years, with various problems. Dr Glod always thoroughly explains the problem and offers several solutions. He is kind, patient, funny, and never makes you feel rushed. When I was concerned about an infection I was dealing with he returned my phone call on New Years Eve! I highly recommend Dr Glod.

I have had Dr Glod since I was a kid and he has done an amazing job with treatments that I have had to have. When it came to have to have surgery on my feet he told me that this would help me walk better. I will say that if it wasn't for Dr Glod I wouldn't have been able to achieve my goals in life. Now both of my kids go to him I couldn't ask for a better foot doctor for them. I would and will highly recommend him to anyone. Infact I still see him my self and will continue if I need to until I don't have to he is amazing in so many ways. My daughter who has autism needed surgery on her feet was scared Dr Glod was so amazing with her he told her how this surgery would help her walk better and it did. She was so happy that she could run and play with her friends I as her mom was thankful. As a parent I would highly recommend him to other parents of kids if they need a foot doctor for anything.

BEST Foot Doctor in the world.
The wait is not long at all. My husband,Paul, has been seeing Dr. Glod for 30 years. Then it was my turn as my feet got arthritis. If it wasn't for Dr. Glod, I would be in a wheelchair. He replaced both ankles & I can take Zumba classes again. His office staff has improved. Of course Dr. Glod always makes us smile. He has a great bedside manner. Always a pleasure to see him as he is fun but very good at what he does. I highly recommend him.

Kind and funny
I have been seeing Dr Glad, for over a year, for a few different issues. Previous podiatrists had mangled my foot pretty badly and Dr Glod has done a pretty good job of de-uglyfying it. He is a funny and kind man and I recommend him 100%

Insulted patient!
I have seen Dr Glod for about 3 years mostly during Covid. Dr was very helpful first two years during Covid. This past year something has happened. Office visits rushed or saw intern or whoever was helping him staff has been rude and felt like I was a bother to them. Problems with orthotics and took very long to get them. Several problems occurred when they were sent back for adjustments. I was accused of getting a pair free and wanted me to pay for something I don’t have. Billing department equally rude. Either the office made an error or company they do business with sent a bill and they insisted I had 2 pair. Why would I want a second pair when first pair are not that comfortable!! Save your money!

Deb Markley – Nov 02, 2020

Several years back I came to Dr. Glod to request help for toenail fungus.He told me that the only solution would be to remove all my toenails surgically. I got a second opinion from a Massachusetts podiatrist Who completed Laser treatment And a Massachusetts dermatologist who prescribed Jublia with oral antifungal medication. The problem resolved. Would not recommend this doctor. Surgical toenail removal is the last resort and NOT first resort for toenail fungus treatment.

I was referred to Dr. Glod by podiatrist on staff (Michelle) at Memorial Hospital for a fractured fibula bone. Once in the ER/Operating room I found the staff friendly and to follow policies and discussed medical information to me via my X-Rays results. Dr. Glod spent ample time introducing himself and discussing the procedure. In summary, I found Dr. Glod and the staff at Memorial truly professional and personal and so pleased at the outcome. NO PAIN! TX! I would recommend Dr. Glod to Mom.

I had hammer toe surgery from dr. GLOD in July 2015 and he did a terrible job. My foot swells regularly and is still very painful 16 months later. My second toe it totally crooked and doesn't even seem to be connected to my foot. Do not go to Douglas Glid! I would not wish this situation on an enemy.
