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.

Kind, compassionate care
I was in pain and needed an appointment. I had never been to this practice, but they still got me in quickly. Dr. Newcomb and his assistant were kind and compassionate, and explained everything to me. Thank you!

Impressive
Dr. Newcomb seems highly knowledgeable about foot and ankle issues. I saw him regarding issues with both my right foot and left ankle. I appreciated how he examined both sides and provided easy to understand explanations. I felt heard and understood. I would definitely recommend Dr. Newcomb.
