While Dr. Hewlett is super friendly and appears knowledgeable, in my opinion he is totally incompetent. I have been suffering from his failed Mortons Neuroma surgery for over 10 years. He first billed my insurance company thousands of dollars for useless alcohol injections than turned a simple neuroma surgery for me into a nightmare. Go anywhere else! Don't let him fool you with his friendly demeanor.

Fantastic! Dr. Hewlett is a great podiatrist and a fantastic surgeon. He did two separate surgeries on my left foot. He made the process easy, took time to answer my questions and helped to ensure my recovery went smoothly. Excellent results!

Dr. Hewlett is fantastic! He’s personable, organized and runs an on-time operation. I had an ingrown toenail removed and it was easy. He explained how the pain years ago isn’t necessary and he was right. I’d recommend anyone with foot issues to pay him a visit. He really knows his stuff.

He is very good for my calluses and artheritic toes. Clips toe nails I can't see. My feet feel good afterward. I appreciate his work.

I have seen Dr. Hewlett for treatment of a plantar wart on the heal of my foot. Dr. Hewlett has a great bedside manner and is always very friendly and supportive. During my first visit, he took the time to carefully explain to me what causes plantar warts on the foot and what his prescribed treatment plan for me would be. In addition to his excellent care, I really enjoy visiting with him.

Dr. Hewlett asked me why I still have type 1 diabetes. When I explained to him the difference between t1 and t2, he left the office and refused treatment. If you're diabetic avoid this guy. He is the most unprofessional and ignorant doctor I've ever seen. Also, the office is a construction zone, with raw floors and barricades that say "do not enter this area".
