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.

Love Dr. Kates. He is gentle and thorough. Luckily I have no major problems but my little toes and feet feel so cared for at his office. Thank you Dr. Kates and Miriam. No complaints at all.

A wonderful doctor and person with a great support staff. Actually makes house calls for his disabled patients. He did a superb job treating my diabetic toes and did a beautiful job making my foot orthotics. I highly recommend him to anyone with any podiatric problems.

I had both feet operated on (bunion and hammertoe on each) and I couldn't be happier. One was done in June and the other in July and I was playing Pickle Ball by the beginning of September with virtually no pain. I have recommended Dr. Kates to others and they are equally satisfied.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Kates. He's a caring individual who spends time with the patient. He explains things in a way that is easy to understand and does everything possible to eliminate a problem. I had one podiatrist who took care of my in-grown toe nail, which was a recurring problem. He removed my in-grown toe nail, and when I told Dr. Kates that this happens from time to time, he told me that if it happens again, he could do something to prevent it from coming back.
