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.

Not gentle / uncaring attitude
Dr ignored my ‘toes are sensitive’ due to spinal cord damage. Then seemed to be in a rush to set new toe nail clip record????

Disappointed – Jan 11, 2023

My initial and follow-up experience with Dr. Killough and his staff was excellent. Staff was courteous, friendly, professional and conscientious regarding cleanliness and COVID precautions. Dr. Killough took time to explain his treatment and care, was gentle and reassuring, and I give the office a 10 out of 10 rating without hesitation. If you have any kind of foot pain or discomfort, don't put off making an appointment.

Last fall my father developed a severe infection in his left foot. With Dr. Killough's treatment plan and oversight my father avoided having his toe and/or foot amputated. Our family would highly recommend him and his staff. They definitely have the patient's well being at heart.

I have had Dr. Killough for a few procedures on my deteriorating feet, he is always professional, personable, and practical. He will do whatever he can to help you without jumping into surgery. I have always had good luck with any procedure he has performed. I highly recommend him for any problems with your feet.

I I went in with foot pain, and left with foot pain, with no solution offered by the doctor. He did not spend much time with me or try to remedy my pain. The office environment was very very noisy
