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.

Office was clean, quiet and fast. Dr Tilsley explained everything to me so I could understand. He listened and answered questions.

Wasted my time
The doctor was fine but I was instructed to come back in for custom insoles if my insurance paid for it. I scheduled the initial fitting, they called to reschedule and when I came in for the fitting they said insurance didn’t cover my insoles. I asked why they didn’t inform me they said they tried to leave a voicemail but couldnt. Yet they kept my appointment. Complete waste of time and money. They should have tried more than once to let me know and cancel my appointment. Shady.

Inserts have been wrong twice now.
Trying to get the doctor or the assistant to smile is like pulling teeth. I feel like a number on a chart, not an individual human that anyone shows any interest in. I am uncomfortable in the exam room. The lack of eye contact makes me feel invisible. I mentioned a new pain to the doctor and he didn’t even bother to palpate it or even look at it - just mentioned what he thought it could be. I am convinced that no one in the practice gives a sh!t about me. I’d go somewhere else, but you guys have all of my x-rays and we are in the middle of trying (failing) to get inserts. Patients aren’t numbers and medical professionals shouldn’t be robotic. It is worth noting that the front desk staff is divine - personable, attentive, and very helpful.

Dr. Tilsley was so personable with me, which made me feel very comfortable with the care he provided. He answered every single one of my questions with enough details to make me feel like I understood my healthcare, but without overwhelming or confusing me.

Friendly and professional
Dr. Tilsley took the time to explain the causes of my foot pain and how to treat it in the short and possibly long term. I very much appreciate understanding what's going on and not being treated like a passive recipient of treatment. Also the assisting personnel were kind, friendly and professional.

Knowledgable and easy to talk too
Foot pain is interesting and sometimes hard to get to the problem, he was able to figure out what was wrong as there were multiple things. Understands sports/dance medicine, which is key!
