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.

Great Doctor
I have been seeing Dr. Short for several issues for the past few years. He released 2 entrapments in my leg and he will be doing my foot surgery as soon as my cardiologist releases me. I referred him to my husband and he did surgery on one foot and will be doing the other one as well. He is kind, listens to the patient, cares about the patient, shows compassion, and went above and beyond to help me and my husband. I know I and my husband are in great hands. We are listened to and treated with respect and the staff treat us the same. I take comfort knowing we are in the best hands. I will refer him to anyone who needs a podiatrist! Excellent work and staff as well!

Dr. Short is the best podiatrist in Louisiana! I can not explain in words how wonderful Dr. short and his staff is. I seen seven podiatrists before I found Dr. Short. I needed reconstructive surgery on my feet due to arthritis and I suffered from Extreme neuropathy. Dr. Short answers all of my questions before I could even asked them. His stafff returned all my calls and was extremely nice and very knowledgeable. I thought I would stuffer all my life with pain and disfigured feet. The surgery went wonderful and the results are beyond amazing. I can wear heels and sandals again. Thank you Dr. Short you gave me my life back. You are a miracle worker. Ochsner Hospital needs to honor you with a reward.

Dr. Short diagnosed my ailment after I was seeing another Doctor for 6 months. He performed a procedure involving hardware, and a bone graft mixed with my own blood drawn during surgery. I'm finally healing well and recovering! I can't wait to get back to my active lifestyle. Thank You!!!

I struck gold with Dr. Short! He is so knowledgeable, compassionate, soft spoken and patient! I hardly had any pain after surgery. I attribute this to Dr. Short!

I had Bunion Surgery with Dr. Short on July 6, 2018. It has been 5 weeks and I am so pleased with the results! In addition to the bunion, I also had three hammer toes repaired. I had minimal pain during the recovery period. He always answered all of my questions, and took time to sit with my husband and I during the post surgery appointments. He made me feel at ease prior to the surgery. Dr. Short is very professional, caring, and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Dr. Short!

I am a very active and enjoy cycling, hiking and working out. Dr. Short was very thorough in diagnosing my issues with my foot and explaining all the options for correcting my problem. I choose to have surgery and my recovery has been quicker than initially expected. I would definitely recommend his services to anyone looking for a physician that will listen and recommends options/treatment in the patient's best interest.

I had such good results with my foot surgery, that I will have the other one by Dr. Short in Oct. of this year. He paid attention to details, and caught a problem with one of my other toes. So my husband and I both would recommend him highly, and we already have. Great staff also. Thank you all, Diane H Wilson

While I am not back 100%, I feel like Dr. Short did a great job with the repair of my tendons and fractured ligament. It's a long haul for recovery, but I am finally back to being able to golf and get around better 16 weeks after surgery.

I've had morton's neuroma for years. I went from several doctors including podiatrists and orthopedic surgeons who shied away from the surgery and treated my neuroma with cortisone or alcohol injections or suggested ways to just "live with it" by reducing activity or wearing the right shoes. Dr. Short didn't hesitate to suggest the surgery when he heard about my case. He was confident he could do a good job and avoid complications. 2 months after surgery and i've essentially resumed all activity

I had a drooping left ankle/foot following knee replacement surgery. Dr. Short diagnosed a neural constriction just below my left knee that was failing to fire the muscles that controlled movement of my foot. My problem in addition to the droopy ankle was falling a lot - not good at 78 years. Surgery to remove the constriction was immediately successful leading - no more falling and total recovery of ankle motion.

From the first appointment with Dr. Short I could tell that he was very caring, knowledgeable and had great bedside manner. He is friendly, patient, answered my questions thoroughly, and explained my medical condition and the treatment options in a clear manner which was easily understood. Dr. Short followed my care extensively after my surgery to ensure all was addressed appropriately and continued my treatment until the very end.

I'm very thankful I found Dr. Short. I fractured my foot back in May. After having surgery Dr. Short treated me based on how I was feeling not where I should be based on the book. His bedside manner is great. I always felt very comfortable telling him exactly how I was feeling through my recovery stage. He never rushed me back to work. Martha's great too!! I have referred family members, friends and coworkers and I will continue to do so.

Having had 2 bunionectomies before, I was concerned that fusing my large toe was going to be my only option. Dr. Short explained a different approach to doing the bunionectomy, and gave me hope that I'd have flexibility in my foot. There was little pain after surgery. The entire healing process was, with the exception of the prescribed physical therapy, completed in 7 weeks. Dr. Short is extremely knowledgeable in the field of podiatry and has an upbeat "bedside manner." Great people skills
