Gary S. Scheinin, D.P.M. Advanced Foot & Ankle Care Center

I went to this foot doctor for many years and so did my family. I really liked him, his office and staff. However, maybe it was a bad day for him, but my last terrible experience was that he misdiagnosed a problem with my foot that required a $300 boot. The next day, I went to my orthopedic surgeon specialist, who took major sets of X-rays that showed absolutely nothing was wrong with my foot; nothing was broken or fractured or cracked. I got stuck with an extremely expensive unusable boot. I have never gone back to this office for any reason. A very bad experience resonates with you for a very long time. My aim is to help others not make the same mistakes as I have done in selecting doctors and such and that’s why I pour all that I have into all of my reviews. I hope I save someon

Wish I would have read these reviews and seen Dr S's Yelp rating before wasting time in his office. I didn't get to choose a specific podiatrist; he was a referral from my plan. Since meeting with Dr. S. I've done some research cross-checking and have found a DPM in my plan that I'm excited about seeing. Fingers crossed my HMO gives the green light. The problem with Dr. S.: All seemed well during the visit except for one rude and slightly embarrassing remark he made which I intentionally decided to ignore (nobody's perfect). But the next day when I tried to access their secure messaging portal I encountered technical issues that couldn't be resolved. Portals like the one his office uses are supposed to have tech support for patients. This one doesn't. And I guess the doctor just got frust

I love both Dr. Scheinin and his staff! Besides being very thorough and knowledgeable, I was especially happy that the office staff filled out their forms FOR me by asking me the questions. (I hate it when they shove a clipboard full of forms to fill out under my nose!) Dr. Scheinin has kept my feet in good shape for over 10 years. Excellent doc!

I highly recommend Dr Schienin and his staff. He is thorough, thoughtful and explains pros and cons of any procedure from the least invasive to surgical intervations, outcomes, and potenial rehabilitation. He also ensures that you understand all aspects as well. His surgeries have all been successful and the results have all exceeded my expectations. He also has a great in office and bedside manner. His staff have always been compassionate and thorough as well. Again, I highly recommend him.

I went to Dr. Scheinin's office for Morton's Neuroma in my left foot. After a series of five ultrasound guided alcohol shots to disable the nerve where the pain originates, the level of pain is still the same, if not worse. During the initial consultation, he affirmed that the higher alcohol concentration level will definitely disable the neuroma. Unprofessional, irresponsible front desk clerk made the whole experience even worse.
