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.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY! If I could review with negative stars I would. Took me a solid week to find out xray results and I had to chase them down myself, which finally involved a patient advocate from my insurance company! Apparently if the break isn’t clear as day Dr. Francois has zero clue how to treat a foot. After xray for fracture was negative he could not (or was unwilling) to provide any type of diagnosis or suggestions for treatment. They couldn’t even figure out where to send me to get a proper weight bearing xray!! Unacceptable for a podiatrist office. Find a better educated dr that knows what he’s doing and has enough means to have in house xrays!
