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.

The Dr. was absolutely rude. She pushed me to get custom orthotics that were not needed. I just went in for a mild problem. After I declined she basically told me not to come back. The nurses were nice but seemed afraid of her. They stood in the corner of the room cowering. When I asked how long she was working g there she said she was newer and apologized for being slower, said that there was alot of employee turnaround. A few weeks later I recieved a bill and after calling my insurance found out it was fir a procedure I never gad done. So I called the office and they apologized saying it happens often. Would not recommend. Mainly because the Dr. was so rude. After asking around I heard very similar stories. Please, this is your health. Find a better Dr.

She was very short and didn’t care to take the time to explain things. Halfway though my appointment while talking with her the nurse came in and said she received a call for another doctor. She left when I was still asking her questions then peaked into the room when she was off the phone. All she said was I could go and shut the door. I would not recommend going to her and her lack of concern about the patient was evident.

As many others wrote, but one patient put very well: the doctor is extremely snarky. Definite push for orthotics that aren't needed, crassness (doomsday scenarios), antiquated X-Ray equipment, and the feeling that it's about having the patient sign on for something to receive their money. At first visit, in total almost two hours there, of which 1.5 hours were spent waiting. Very disappointed and should have read the reviews before.

Dr. Weikert was quite rude, pushy, and short with me during my visit. She became agitated when I would ask questions about my situation and even left the room while I was still trying to talk to her! She was nice up until the point I questioned whether or not all she was recommending (custom orthotics, custom brace, custom shoes, etc.) was necessary given my mild condition and the available alternatives. I honestly felt like she just wanted to sell me things and became angry when I wanted to discuss why and what options I had. Her staff was nice, but did not seem to care (or know) what they were doing. I was not given copies of things I was told to sign "indicating I had received a copy" until I explained that I would not sign something like that... nor was I given any follow-up instructions (exercises; refrain from exercise; etc.). On top of this, I was scheduled first thing in the morning and still did not manage to see her until 1.5 hours after my appointment time... twice!

She forced me to have surgery telling me I had no other options. But after the surgery went horribly wrong she claimed I insisted on the procedure which was elective and that she warned me not to have it. Very dishonest. I think she forced patients into surgery because she needs the money. If you're unlucky enough that she did this to you, get a lawyer.

Dr Weikert and her staff of nurses and receptionists were very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions about my condition and the surgical procedure that I needed. They were considerate of my hypertension and diabetes concerns.

I am so regretful for not doing my research prior to visiting Dr. Weikert. I would have most definitely found someone else. Through all my visits with her she was rude. She basically ordered me to get surgery on my plantar warts as if I had no other option. I went in biweekly for treatment. I expressed concerns about money because I've had to pay for everything out of pocket due to a high deductible and she responded "That's not my problem" and didn't help me with any other options.

Dr. Weikert is an embarrassment to her profession. She repeatedly had me return for appointments that were unnecessary so she could keep charging me $20 each time for my copay. All I needed was a small wart removed but she had me return four times and the last time told me I had to return again. She also insisted on Doing tests that were unnecessary and resulted in me being charged hundreds of dollars! I'm so mad at myself for not sticking with my gut and changing docs asap. DO NOT go to her!

I should have known that we shouldn't see Dr. Weikert when my husband went in for a procedure on an ingrown toenail and she laughed about how awful his insurance was. She did the procedure. He healed and now has no feeling in that toe. She refused to even consider it might be her fault and sent him for expensive tests using said crappy insurance. All came back normal. She refuses to even apologize or say it may be her fault. Now he has to enjoy nerve damage the rest of his life. Awful doctor.

Rude, did operation which was not needed; was supposed to take spur off top of foot, cut bone. Gave me no painkillers and was up all night. Her office staff is super but the office is dirty. Never never go there. She took over from wonderful doctor, that is why she has patients plus not many podiatrists in town.
