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.

Loads of fun & smarts! Dr. Rell is an excellent physician with a wonderful, easy going personality. Clearly, he’s well trained in his field. Also, very liked as I’ve met others of his patients in town. A referral is the best compliment. I personally value a doctor who you can laugh with and make light of the reason for your visit. Today I harassed him horribly for “booting” me on my birthday and he took the banter well. He’s a keeper! You won’t be disappointed.

I would highly recommend Dr. Rell to anyone having issues with a foot and or ankle. He did surgery on my foot(bunion) 7 years ago . I went to see him today for another issue. Office staff is friendly and waiting room is comfortable and clean. Dr Rell is understanding and compassionate, he is an athlete so he understands injuries that happen to those of us trying to stay active.

Dr Rell's former group spent several minutes updating my info, only to inform me that my appt was with a different Dr. I said, "No thank you, I'll find Dr Rell." It wasn't easy because he had just moved. But my feet take me everywhere so I take them to Dr Rell. He's an exceptional physician.

I am a current patient of Dr. Rell. Four years ( 2014 ) ago Dr. Rell treated me for an infection in my foot which required an operation. The entire situation was handled with care, professionalism and successfully. Just recently I developed an another problem and again he successfully took care of business. I would, and do, recommend, Dr. Rell to all of my acquaintances that need excellent care.

Being a diabetic foot care is very important to me. He takes time to listen to me and explain all my options to me. Very little waiting time for schedule appointments. If you are a diabetic and need foot care Dr. Rell is the doctor you need. Very happy with him!

Dr. Rell is such a wonderful Doctor and his staff is amazing. The office is immaculate and very nice. Dr. Rell took me in with very bad pain in my foot within 24 hours of me leaving the country for two weeks and helped ease the pain which made going away even possible and when I got home he took care of it surgically and all has gone very well. I would highly recommend him.

If I could give zero stars I would. He turned away a patient with Medicare and a supplemental insurance because the patient couldn't pay a co-pay. This was a patient in a wheelchair who can't walk or drive. It's a monumental effort for him to get to the doctor. I wouldn't go to Dr Rell now if he were the only podiatrist in town.

Dr. Rell has done three foot surgeries on me in the past five years. I wouldn't let anyone else touch my feet, except him. Not only is he the best foot surgeon on the planet, but he truly cares about his patients, and strives to get you up and around as soon as possible.

I made an appointment to see Dr Rell after finding out that I had torn my plantar plate on my left foot. Dr Rell and his staff are very professional and he took the time to explain my options. The course of action I chose was to have the tear surgically repaired. Dr Rell explained the procedure called a "Weil Osteotomy." I felt very comfortable with his knowledge and expertise on the procedure. Dr Rell performed the surgery with great results for me.

Dr Rell recently treated me for a neuroma of my foot the has been affecting me for several months. I had been getting treating at another local podiatry office without successful relief of my discomfort. Dr Rell's office staff were very professional and friendly, and made feel very confortable. Likewise for Dr Rell. I am now able to return to exercising and working pain free.

My primary requested I go to Dr Rell for my foot problem. I had exrays taken and he gave me a black air walker. Then I went back for an MRI$. They make my appt for the Dr. to read it to me$ The black air walker is heavy and pulls on my last years back surgery. I came back to read the MRI$ and he gave me an air supported cast for my foot which popped a week later/I am over 200 pounds. He told me I have "Charcot foot" and no surgery! NO meds or creams or shots! "Loss weigth!"/+get an AFO made. :(
