Report
I have had treatment from a number of podiatrists over the last 30 years, but I feel that Mike is the most accomplished and informative practitioner that I have encountered. He knows his stuff, and will not hesitate to pass his wisdom on. His fees are very reasonable, and his back-up and support peerless. Five-Star recommendation from a very satisfied customer.
