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.

Forever Grateful
Prior to my surgery with Dr. Rock I had a disfigured and dysfunctional second toe which was floppy due to a missing middle phalange, and my big toe was bulbous at the joint. Both conditions were the result of past surgeries gone badly from different podiatrists. I was extremely reluctant to seek further surgery and reconciled to live with what was at times painful and painful to look at. After living like this for over a decade I began googling podiatrists and reading reviews. Fate had it that I decided to see Dr. Rock after reading so many good reviews. To make a long story short, here I am today, a little over three months post-surgery with a straight second toe, no longer with a missing phalange, and a big toe without a bulbous joint. Dr. Rock went the extra mile and came up with an amazing solution that was totally “out of the box”. He spent time researching and communicating with me every step of the way all the pros, cons and risks. I actually now have a pretty foot; and ...

Dr Rock was amazing. I had hammer toe surgery 8 weeks ago and never had any pain whatsoever. My toe is perfectly straight and the results far exceeded my expectations. I can now wear shoes and be pain free. Had I known this I would have done this surgery years ago. I would highly recommend Dr. Rock. Also, I couldn’t believe how attentive Dr. Rock is with the follow up patient care Dr. Rock is truly an amazing surgeon

My experience with Dr Rock was exceptional. He did exactly what he said he would, I experienced minimal pain and quick recovery. He was very responsive, texting me in the days immediately following the surgery and responding to all of my questions right away. I cannot say enough good things about him and his staff - true professionals!

After months of treatment with another doctor I opted for a second opinion and visited Dr Rock. All it took was one visit to permanently address my Achilles Tendinitis. I am forever grateful.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DR. ROCK!! Thank you for making my feet look and feel wonderful. I had both bunions and hammertoes done this past January 2 weeks apart and never had pain and was back to my running by 6 weeks. Your lesser invasive techniques along with your time, compassion, emails and texts made my experience exceptional. As an OR nurse I have to stand all day and you took so much time explaining not just the benefits of this surgery but the risks and realistic expectations. THANK YOU.

Just a short note to thank you Dr. Gregg D Rock for your care and concern and professional manner in which you handled my situation with my toes on July 28, 2017. I am very grateful that I have met you. I came to you with a broken spirit and with no hope. During the six months that I've been seen by you, you and your wonderful staff have made me feel confident and secure. After having surgery you continue to check on me, calling me and texting me. There are no words to properly thank you for a

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Gregg Rock. My husband is a surgeon, so I was over-the-top picky about finding the right surgeon to address my bunions and hammertoes. After a year of searching for a talented, experienced surgeon whose career focused on treatment of hammertoes and bunions, I found Dr. Rock:the consummate professional (detail-oriented, direct, straight-shooter, compassionate), outside-the-box-thinker, incomparable diagnostician, ahead-of-the-curve/state-of-the-art doctor.

I had a food surgery two month ago. What can I say about Dr. Rock...He is not just a doctor - he is magician. Firstly, I never had pain-not at the beginning, not at the end. Secondly, doctor was on text message with me twice a day. If you have any question, he is answering right away. Did you see this days many doctors like this? I did not! Besides his perfect ethical manners, he has hands of gold. Can't wait to operate my second foot. Thanks Dr. Rock, thanks from the bottom of my heart.

My mother, 82 years old in excellent shape, after an internet search found Dr Rock for a foot problem. ( He said that what he could offer her was orthodics to align her spine, and took a mold of her feet.) After returning 2 weeks later to pick up the mold and insert them in her tennis shoes, she wore them and developed a limp from practically day to night. I cried that whole night. She now sways when she walks, and is trying to correct the problem developed by the orthodics, with a physiatrist.

Dr. Greg Rock is the amazing!!! From the moment I met him I was very comfortable with having him do my procedure. He took his time to explain everything about my foot condition, the procedure and what to expect. Everything was as he explained it would be. The first 2 days after my surgery there was no pain at all. Later there was some minor aching but nothing that would require pain killers. Dr. Rock texted me every day to check up on my recovery and answered any questions or concerns that I

I am 66 years old female. Dr. Rock did bunion surgery on both my feet. First 2 days there was no pain at all. Later it was a little pain which did not require pain killers. Dr. Rock made everything easy and not scary at all. Dr. Rock texted me every day and answered all questions. The only thing I regret that I did not do it long time ago. But I DID NOT KNOW THIS GREAT DOCTOR before. dr. Rock and staff in his office and in surgical center are very professional and knowledgable.
