One of the best doctors, I have ever had... Dr. Drager operated on my toe for an ingrown toenail. Never experienced any pain. It healed quickly, as did my wife's surgery also. He also cured me of my arch pain also. He is a caring, skilled doctor who listens to his patients. I feel lucky to have found him.

I had surgery on three toes with chronic, painful ingrown toenails. I put this off for fear of even more pain. To my relief and joy, the procedures were 100% painless. After 6-7 weeks, I'm wearing open toe shoes. Thanks Dr. Drager!!

Complete rupture of my Achilles’ tendon. He did surgery on it reattached the tendon and I was walking in 8 weeks. The amazing part was the lack of pain after the surgery. I didn’t have to use pain killers ever. He’s helped me before with minor problems and conditions most notably planter fasciitis. He’s done surgery on my wife too and she’ll be back for her other foot in the near future. Very much appreciate his personality and his skills. Would highly recommend him.

I have been a patient for over a decade. Dr. Drager is excellent at what he does. He is very personable and straight forward in his treatment recommendations. I fully trust his skills and knowledge. If he recommends it I do it with no regrets. His surgical skills are great too and he works out of North West Specialty Hospital. I highly recommend him and his office for anyone needing a podiatrist .

I went to Dr Drager and he told me that I needed inserts. I didn't pursue right away and later my GP referred me to a different podiatrist. This new podiatrist took x-rays and gave me two devices that they told me I could return if they weren't working ~ NOT. Finally, they recommended the inserts that Dr Drager had recommended on the first appointment. I would have saved much more money had I stayed with Dr Drager in the first place.

I have had foot pain for years, but really did not know what to do. It got so bad I could not even get through my shopping at the grocery store without pain for the rest of the day or two, and have to sit to make it stop. Some times you have to go through several options before you find a solution. After shots, physical therapy, I knew surgery was the last resort. I went for it, and now I'm pain free. My foot feels so much better. I wish I had done it sooner.

I have numerous problems with my feet and Dr. Drager did nothing to help. He gave no indication what the cause was or how to treat my issues. He did push to sell me inserts which hurt more than not using them. The only suggestion he made was to get new shoes. Think twice before making an appointment.

Dr Drager is a wonderful, caring Dr. He took the time to treat my condition. His office staff is wonderful as well, except Holly. She was very rude and harsh!
