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.

Dr. Wooster is probably one of the nicest doctors that I have met. Very professional, caring, compassionate and competent podiatrist. I was having a great deal of pain and Dr. Wooster immediately diagnosed the problem and performed surgery which enabled me to once again enjoy my long walks. His staff is very friendly & his office is impeccably clean.

I have seen Dr Michael Wooster before and also took my father to show him and found him as a good person. But this time her receptionist made my appointment yesterday and gave me the appointment for March 31,2021 at 4.30 PM. Accordingly I reached at 4.15 and gave her the ID, Medicare and insurance card from WellCare. Right away she said they will bill me 20% on top which I will have to pay. I said in case my insurance doesn't pay then I will pay the difference in case. But she insisted that I still have to pay 20% on top. When I asked why don't you wait and submit the bill to insurance in case they refuse then I will pay. She said I still have to pay. When I see the malafide intentions I walked out without seeing the doctor. I am sure doctor was listening as his receptionist who was yelling at me. I don't think they they can insist upon the bill in advance without going thru the insurance. I see how these kind of facilities rip off the insurance and patients. God bless these people

It's wonderful after a succession of foot doctors that acted as if each visit was a chore, you can sit and chat with Dr. Wooster after an all-business start by going through any changes, etc. He gets an A plus for taking the time to check everything and cut your toenails without yanking.

Avoid at all costs. He only wants to get paid and doesn't care about his patients after you leave the office.

Worst Podiatrist ever! Avoid at all costs. He won't call you back ever and their staff is very unfriendly. Misdiagnosed me and refused to help me after 2 months of foot problems.

I've been to a few podiatrists and have to say that Dr. Wooster is the best one of them all. He is very personable and kind. Explains everything. Everyone that works in the office is equally as kind and friendly. Anyone looking for a podiatrist should definitely give Dr. Wooster a call.
