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.

Still requiring masks at the office.
This doctor can have long wait times. He does take his time with patients. He is a overall good doctor, but requiring masks at the office. Especially at this point with all the information that has come out, somewhat ridiculous. If he didn’t do my previous surgery, I would skip him all together. What a joke.

I cannot say enough about this man! He did a procedure to my phone… I was already petrified to go to a podiatrist but was suffering so bad I had no choice. It was still hurting really bad after a couple of days and they called to check on me!! At 5:25 they told me to come in so he could see me and make sure I was OK. The majority of doctors don’t do this anymore and I am so impressed with him and his staff. They are truly wonderful caring people.

Dr. shingledecker did hammertoe surgery on both feet in July 2015. He destroyed my feet. Not one toe was corrected properly and two toes that he did not do surgery on were made into hammer toes. He does not have a clue how to do the surgery. I think he used a new experimental method on me since it was a complete disaster. He did not use the proven methods. I am miserable and am afraid I will not be able to walk in the near future. Don't let him do it.
