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.

I have gone to Dr. Samson for many years. Have had two major foot surgeries and two minor surgeries. I do not regret having these surgeries and he did excellent work.

I had ankle surgery for a FX that didn't heal properly as the ortho treating me didn't make referrals prior to his retirement. I saw Dr Samson and he stated that he could correct my improperly healed fracture. My ankle has a plate and is not healing as the Dr. would like and mentioned that several others patients who had similar surgeries are not healing. Still in a cast 90 DAYS later and on crutches 90 days later. I have no co-morbidities that would delay the healing process. I came out and asked if there are so many patients who have not healed, if its due to their health or possibly he is not as competent as he feels/portrays that he is. I have an appt in January and I'm hoping the cast is removed.

Dr. Samson is an excellent podiatrist. I've been seeing him for 35 yrs. He really cares about his patients. I feel he goes above & beyond for them. I highly recommend Dr. Richard Samson for any and all of your podiatric needs.
