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.

Dr. Johncock got me to Boston!
Recently I ran the 129th Boston Marathon. Two months before the race i was unsure I could even make it to the starting line. I was struggling with a horrible case of Metatarsalgia in my right foot. It hurt to walk much less run. After a a visit to Dr. William Johncock’s office he had me on the road to recovery. My training was able to resume and on April 20th 2025 I was able to run my 8th straight Boston Marathon with a time of 3:00:15. Not bad for a 58 year old. If you are struggling with a foot injury I highly recommend Dr. Johncock! He worked miracles for me!

I saw Dr Johncock numerous times before.
I called to schedule an appointment . I had not been seen in three years and after numerous questions, his office told me he would not see me because I would be classified as a new Medicare patient and he was not taking new patients, although I have an excellent supplement. I will not ever call or go there again because I had called two years ago with a problem and they would not see me then either. They gave me advise over the phone.

couldnt even get in the door
Similar to another review, refused to see me as a new patient because I had seen an orthopedist and said i should continue treatment. Disappointing because I had great feedback from patients I have sent his way (im a physician in Boone) including my MIL. Maybe due to my insurance? Although I would have been willing to pay out of pocket for his expertise.

Dr Johncock has taken care of my feet for 30 years. I am a runner and have had a multitude of issues. Dr Johncock has kept me running with minimal downtime. Orthotics, blisters, ingrown toenails, etc. Fast, friendly service. Takes the necessary amount of time with his patients.

I brought my teenaged daughter in to see Dr Johncock for what I thought was a minor issue, and easy fix. I was thankful that he discovered a much bigger issue, which will require surgery on both feet for her. The staff were incredibly well informed. Dr Johncock was extremely sensitive to the gravity of the news for us, and took time to explain the problem in great detail. He provided written information before we even had a chance to ask for it. Between his literature and his persevering through all of our questions, we left with a solid understanding of the situation. I’m deeply grateful for his expertise and for identifying a problem now when it can be fixed with much more ease than would be the case after she entered adulthood. I am so very thankful for Dr Johncock and his staff.

Dr Johncock is the best at fixing any problem you have. I have seen him for numerous stress fractures. He always is understanding and his staff is the greatest! I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

I would not recommend Dr. Johncock. He was the Dr for my special needs daughter who has Angelman syndrome for 20+ years. We have not seen him in probably the last 10 years. She is now having critical issues that he would under no circumstances see her, not even speak to me. I was very disappointed because I know that he understands her disability and that was very important. My insurance suggested I pay out of pocket to him and they would reimburse me, but again he said no. No treatment

Have been experiencing severe foot pain. My primary physician referred me to Johncock, but I heard nothing for @ 3 wks. I called his office His staff claimed they never received it and asked to have it re-sent. I called Primary to have it re-sent. Several days later, a staff person called with questions about previous injuries/issue with my foot. I explained I had a broken ankle @ 8 yrs earlier and was referred to an orthopedist. They called back and said Johncock wouldn't see me! WTH!

The lady I spoke with on the phone was nice in taking my info, but said she would have to talk to the doctor to see if he could help me before scheduling an appointment. I thought this was strange, I mean, I have a foot problem and he's a podiatrist - RIGHT???? As it turns out he would not see me because a saw another podiatrist in the area 2 years ago for a different issue. Why does he have the right to tell me I cannot change doctors? Some nerve.. I will gladly share this with others
