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.

Love Dr. Degnore
Dr. Degnore has been very helpful with correcting a complication from a previous bunionectomy gone wrong. I’m so happy to recommend her. She’s intelligent, professional, compassionate and does wonderful surgical treatment. I wish I’d had her do my initial bunionectomy 20 years ago.

Back in 1995 I had a giant cell tumor in my talus and Dr. Degnore removed the tumor and rebuilt my ankle with cement. Prior to surgery I was told my cement ankle might hold up well for up to ten years. Now 23 years later the ankle she built for me has stood the test of time and I've had a very active life.

Top notch
I saw Dr DeGnore and I have multiple issues with my feet. She completed a successful surgery on my left foot and I look forward to her taking care of my right foot. She had a wonderful post op instruction sheet that explained everything that would happen and it was so accurate. I appreciate how knowledgeable she is and have encouraged others to see her as their physician.

Never had the pleasure of getting a visit. Waited over a week just to be told to go somewhere else. Staff is defensive when being asked tough questions, and a classic example of unwilling to take ownership by deflecting. A direct quote from the office manager is ' we are all ignorant of Hippa laws" Over all the experience recieved is not something I would expect from a specialists office.

I have been a patient of Dr. DeGnore for over 18 years for surgery/treatment of a badly damaged ankle. Without her help my life and activity level would have been miserable. I had gone to another noted surgeon who performed unsuccessful surgery before being referred to Dr. DeGnore by the physician who treats me for arthritis... She performed surgery 18 years ago and thankfully because of her skill my ability to do things, such as playing golf, have been possible. I have nothing but praise for her and have recommended her to others.

I am so grateful to have been treated by Dr. DeGnore. She did terrific surgery on my badly broken ankle. I felt COVID safe in her office (great staff, easy access). She is not a 'tea and toast, poor you!' doc, but the ultimate professional who gives great follow up directions. You'd better listen.

When I called the office I was told that she needed all my records first. I explained that my injury needed attention pretty quickly and then was told no problem that she had plenty of available appointments. After two days, someone from her staff called stating that she reviewed my records and would not see me because she didn’t have time to do my surgery.

Degnore wouldn't even see me and wrote my foot problems off as being minimal despite the fact that for years I've had heel spurs, can't stand for long without pain, and have constant coldness and stinging in my feet and legs and have tried EVERYTHING to heal myself without success. I practically begged her to see me and she referred me somewhere else I've already been that couldn't help me. Not worth her time, apparently. Despicable.

Dr. DeGnore is an outstanding doctor. I've had many serious problems with my feet, ankle, and leg over the years. I know for a fact that the only reason I have two feet and am able to walk today is because of Dr. DeGnore's expertise and care. The orthopedic doctor I had before finding Dr. DeGnore became so frustrated with my lack of healing that he wanted to remove my foot. That was over 20 years ago. I still have both feet and live an independent life thanks for Dr. DeGnore.

She refuses to see me as a patients even though I was referred by another orthopedic surgeon!! At first I was told after reviewing my records that she didn't have any appointments. Then they said she couldn't help me. Is she that poor of a doctor that she can't help??!!

Dr. Degnore diagnoses patients before she sees them. When she does see them she refuses to listen when the patient explains that her diagnosis is not close to what is going on. She diagnosed me with hammertoe, stating it was from me wearing heels everyday. If she listens she would of heard that I have had RA since I was 12 and I never wear heels. I left her office crying. I went to another Dr to find out that my foot was broken and I have a nerve condition, not hammertoe. DO NOT SEE DR DEGNORE

Dr Degnore is an honest and skilled surgeon. Everything she told me about my surgery and recovery was true. Actually it ended up being a little easier, probably because of the excellent care she gives every patient.

Been to several doctors and was referred to her. She said my issue was minimal. I can't walk or stand for long periods of time without significant pain. Limiting my activity with my kid. I thought my issue might be from an old injury. She blew me off and her next commit was that she doesn't do workers comp cases at all. Made me feel awful like I was just there for another reason. Was trying to get help. She let me know she does IME's. Not willing to help when I was just trying to get help

Dr. Degnore was highly recommended to me and may be excellent. I was treated rudely by the scheduling staff, was dismissed, and never able to schedule an appointment. I was told we'll go over this and get back to you, as if a prior recommendation and history was not enough to justify an appointment.
