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.

Excellent, caring doctors…both Mr. And Mrs. Karloc
They listened to me, followed through and went out of their way to visit me when I was in the hospital!

Dr Lawrence Karlock is kind and compassionate professional . My Father was a patient for so many years and Dr Larry Karlock always took great care of him. Both Dr Karlock ( Husband and Wife) are very caring and our children played together at the park. I’m currently a patient of Dr Lawrence Karlock and couldn’t be happier. ????????

This office staff and Dr. Karlock are a joke !!!
I was referred to Dr. Karlock by my primary care doctor and was completely disappointed. When I first entered the office the 2 front staff girls were extremely loud, ignorant, laughing and speaking Spanish and ignored me for 5 minutes before I was even greeted. When I finally went back to see Dr. Karlock, the back staff were all loud and obnoxious. Dr. Karlock finally came into the room and spent 2 minutes with me. I was taken for X-rays by a very nice older lady. Dr. Karlock came back into the room and spent another 4 minutes with me and told me everything was fine. It was not fine and I am definitely seeking a second opinion. Old, dirty office and would not recommend to anyone. I immediately called my primary care doctor and told him I was very disappointed.

I suffered from plantar fasciitis for many years. I initially went to another podiatrist and tried the exercises, shoe inserts, physical therapy, and multiple foot injections (which seemed to create new and worse pain.) I planned each day according to my pain level. I finally saw Dr. Larry Karlock who offered a non-surgical procedure I’d never heard of. It wasn’t covered by my insurance, but I felt that it was affordable enough and worth a chance. It’s called Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy. My feet were sore for a few days after the procedure BUT each week brought more improvements to my plantar fasciitis. Bump my heel and brace for the pain…no pain! Work a 10 hour nursing shift and expect the pain, burning, and limping…none! One month later, I feel that this procedure has been a godsend. It was worth every cent. I’m very pleased and am enjoying life again. Thank you, Dr. Karlock, for helping me!

Dr, Karlock removed both of my painful bunions a couple of years ago. He's great! I had no hesitation in going back to him for an ingrown nail. The whole office is great, friendly and helpful.

Dr. Karlock is a kind and compassionate doctor. He has provided me with truly exceptional care in helping me with my foot issues. His entire staff is equally impressive. I cannot say enough great things about him and his practice and simply give him my highest recommendation without hesitation.

Dr. Karlock did not take the time to address concerns that were on going. Average time with the Dr (after waiting weeks to get an appointment) less than 5 minutes and major concerns were brushed aside. We now see a different doctor and receive full detail and full attention, a nice change from or experience with Dr. Karlock.

Spends little time with patient, always rushed. Does not explain conditions nor options. Becomes irritated when questioned. Expects patient to take orders without question. Set in his ways, acts God like. Does not treat patients with respect.
