Review for Dr. Dinu
My experience at Premier Podiatry was great! At first, I came in uneasy and nervous as I had issues with toe fungus, but he explained everything clearly, and I was comfortable and not embarrassed at all. My nail transformation is night and day! Highly recommend Dr. Velimir Petkov!

Review for Dr. Petkov
Three months into a reverse shoulder replacement. Recovering as expected with minimal pain. The doctor is very patient and takes the time to explain everything! He made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole procedure. He has great reputation and many healthcare professionals recommend him .
