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 care! I had plantar fasciitis back in the 1990s, and even with podiatrist care, it took a good two years to recover. It recurred a few months ago, but Dr. Scheinost treated it so well……I am completely pain-free now, after just a few weeks. Great doc—-I would highly recommend him for any foot issues. He’ll be my first call for any new foot problems.

Not impressed
Staff seems like they’re all from California. Not friendly. Not helpful. Not respectful of patients time. Waited an hour to be seen. No apologies. No one answers the phone. Voicemail return time is subpar.

Very friendly and welcoming environment. The doctor was patient, informative and answered all of my questions. His assistant was extremely helpful and worked with my insurance company to help me get my medication that I needed at a cost that I could afford. I highly recommend there office to others.

Been seeing him for months now for the same issue. Took me out of work for months with no income and didn’t do anything to fix the problem other than tell me to just stay home and hope it gets better. It has not. Now has failed to contact me for months and still hasn’t cleared me to do my job. Doesn’t answer hardly any phone calls to his office nor ever return voicemails when calls are missed. Threatens to send bills to collections when fully aware that patient has not been provided income due to his lack of effort to fix the problem he has let get worse. Would not recommend take your health elsewhere.

I've been going to Dr. Scheinost for over 2 years now. I always get the absolute best care for my feet from a seasoned and skilled doctor along with a caring nursing staff. Dr. Scheinost has always shown a genuine care and concern for my well being and the future of the health of my feet. I highly recommend this man and his staff.

Dr. Scheinost has provided for my family for over 15 years. You will not find a more trustworthy, educated, and personable doctor! I recently had an unusual injury and would not trust anyone else to handle it. He kept me clearly informed about the plan and answered all my questions. While he respects our time, he never rushes a visit. He is thorough, and he cares about you as a whole person. His staff is amazing! After many months I am healed, and nearly cried to know that I have no need to return to visit them. When can you say that these days in health care?

After waiting a full hour for my appointment Dr. Scheinost spent less than 5 minutes with me (barely examining my foot) and incorrectly diagnosed my pain as arthritis and a bone spur. He wanted to make "better" orthotics for me. I was so unhappy with Dr. Scheinost I went to another podiatrist who correctly diagnosed my pain as Tibialis Anterior Tendonitis advising I needed physical therapy to improve my condition. Stay away from Dr. Scheinost at all costs!!! I never write reviews, but felt strongly about warning people this is not the podiatrist to go to!!!

The doctor and staff were so great the whole time I was being treated over the course of 5 months for a broken foot. Dr. Scheinost made sure to take the time to explain everything and make sure I understood all treatments and options to get me healed up the fastest. Great experience with the clinic staff also. Very friendly and welcoming from the time you walk in.

I cannot recommend Dr Scheinost enough. He was able to fix a failed double neuroma removal surgery from a previous doctor. He has a very warm and friendly bedside manner and was very sympathetic to all my problems. He is very thorough and did everything he could to avoid surgery, unlike most doctors that just want to jump into surgery right away. His staff is the most friendly and fun people I have encountered. They actually made me look forward to coming in for appointments.

7 months ago I dropped a motorcycle on my left leg. This severe injury took 3 separate surgeries to repair. Soon I am coming to the end of my journey with Dr. Scheinost, and I could not be happier with his service. He is a people guy with great humor and truly cares about his patients on a personal level as well as the physical. It’s been a long road but I am back thanks to Dr. Scheinost. I could not give Dr. Tyler Scheinost, and team, higher marks in every category and I highly recommend them.

Exam room reeked of fresh paint fumes. Open windows only made it cold! Returned next week when air cleared. Treatment deferred again to 3rd appt. Then sat waiting 40 minutes while others who arrived later were ushered in. Got refund of co-pay amount and left, disappointed with service and quality of care. Someone needs to train and manage the staff to a higher standard.

Saw this doctor in July. He barely made eye contact with me while in the exam room. He ended the appointment by saying he would order an MRI. It is now DECEMBER and the paperwork for my MRI has yet to be completed despite multiple, multiple, multiple phone calls. I finally saw another podiatrist about two weeks ago. In that time, I have been seen, had an MRI, been diagnosed and am now being treated. Unbelievable!

On December 9th of 2015 I had a fall at home and broke my foot/ankle in 3 places. In the past I had gone to Dr. Tyler Scheinost for another break I had to my foot. He was great with my care – really liked his caring and compassionate personality – for wanting to help me get well. So, when I needed my foot/ankle put back together I had no reservations about who I wanted as my orthopedic doctor. Dr. Scheinost supported me empathetically through two surgeries. His staff was great as well. The whole
