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.

A year ago I had a planned surgical procedure done by Dr. Black at a nearby surgical center. The result was exactly as I had expected, if not better. The scar is invisible, with NO lasting numbness, as I had expected. I trust her judgement and treatment decisions. My father is also a patient of Dr. black, and sees her routinely, with the same positive opinion.

Her associate looked at my chart assuming the problem was a other issue of health on the record. She never checked my ankle physically or exray. I have a swollen ankle six weeks, very painful. I called Dr.Black's office and left this message. She didn't even bother to call me. Guess a patient is a number.

Yesterday was the first time I've ever been to Mount Dora Podiatry and I was very impressed. I actually saw Dr Ferguson, but I couldn't find her name on the list to review. She was very nice and very professional. All of the staff I came into contact with were so helpful in taking care of me as well as making sure it was as cost effective as possible. I would highly recommend Mount Dora Podiatry.

I had ingrown toe nails on both my big toes and Dr. Black performed a procedure which cut out the infected section and made sure that it did not grow back. She was professional, gentle, and knowledgeable.

Dr. Black and her staff are amazing. She recently performed a bunionectomy on my right foot and I am extremely pleased. I had no post surgical pain and have recovered very quickly. The follow up by Dr. Black and her staff was prompt and they answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. Approximately 10 years ago Dr. Black performed a bunionectomy on my left foot and my results were so great that I came back to her for my most current surgery.
