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.

Great doctor
Saw Dr. Callahan today for the first visit and he is great. He goes over everything in length. He’s very pleasant and I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Professional and personable
Dr. Callahan took only minutes to target my issues and had an experienced treatment. Within one visit I was walking better and by the third treatment I was walking normally with no pain. A year later I still am free of foot pain. The doctor and all the staff make for a welcoming, friendly experience. I refer anybody with foot issues to Dr. Callahan

How sweet they all were from the moment I entered the office. Diagnosis was spot on and thorough. I am looking forward to having healthier feet and a bigger smile.

My visit to Dr Callahan’s Office was a great experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect, never being to a podiatrist before. But his staff made me feel so welcome and at ease. Dr Callahan was extremely informative I learned a great deal about the importance of good foot care! I’ll be back!

My neuroma was not taken care of through surgery with another doctor. I went to Dr. Callahan and through a series of shots, I no longer have pain from my neuroma and it has been months since it has bothered me. Prior to that I had difficulty walking every day. He also addressed the neuroma that began in my other foot. Both feet are happy. So sorry I had surgery before discovering Dr. Callahan. I also love his sense of humor and the joy that pervades the office environment.

First, Dr. Callahan was to review my chart and the office would call me back.10 days later I called. They said they left a message- they did not. I was told he does not want to take the referral and when asked why, I heard 3 nonsensical excuses. One was that since my primary already messed my foot up he didn't want to try to fix it. What? The office staff were rude, talking over me and when I raised my voice to be heard, they accused me of yelling at them. I've never experienced such poor profes
