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.

Exceptional service
I recently visited Dr. Quiroga for some ongoing foot pain, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment I walked into the clinic, the staff was welcoming, attentive, and efficient. The office was clean, organized, and they made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way.Dr. Quiroga was incredibly thorough and patient in explaining my condition and the treatment options. She took the time to listen to my concerns and made sure I fully understood the process. The treatment itself was professional and gentle—I felt I was in very capable hands.What impressed me most was how personalized the care felt. Dr. Quiroga genuinely cared about my progress and even provided some helpful tips for preventative care at home. My pain has significantly decreased, and I feel much more confident in managing my foot health.If you’re looking for a top-notch podiatrist who truly cares about their patients, I highly recommend Dr. Quiroga! Thank you for making this such a po

Fun doctor
Dr.Carmina is a very down to earth doctor. She got me in and out quickly. She is caring, direct and funny all at the same time.

Great doctor
Carmina is a knowledgeable doctor and very respectful. I've had a wart on my foot for over 3 years. Carmina did a great job of removing the wart and I'm now fully healed

Amazing!
Dr. Quiroga is brilliant! She helped me with my severe plantar fasciitis that I was battling for years. Highly recommend. The office staff in Kirkwood is amazing and helpful.

She’s the best!
Dr Quiroga did both of my foot surgeries with excellent results both times. She may not be overly chatty but she’s direct, funny and knows her stuff!

No explanations, very rushed
Office staff was great, DR was not. Didn't explain anything, didn't wait for you to ask questions, just walked out of room. I honestly thought she went to get something. It was odd and an awful experience. My online after visit summary showed that she did and explained all kinds of things. This was a lie, none of it happened. Very disappointed, do not recommend this doctor.

Required corrective surgery!
I received a bunionectomy from her, which she assured me would be an easy fix and recovery. When I complained of pain after the surgery she told me it would get better and I could start running on it etc with no physical therapy. 9 months later I was still in a lot of pain and saw 3 new doctors who all said the bunion was bigger than before surgery and I required a more aggressive surgery in the first place. I ended up having to get the foot redone less than a year after her surgery. With a different dr I have had a much better experience/surgery outcome and regret going to Dr Quiroga in the first place.

Would not recommend!
She made me feel that it was an inconvenience for her to treat me. No follow up on X-rays taken. Information on their web site, your CCDA when you read it the first question you have is 'Did I sleep through the appointment' because it does not match what happened. Unsatisfied and will not go to her again.

She has a very punitive communication style
At my first visit I was diagnosed with a broken toe. She did not ever explain what exact bone was broken, and the seriousness of it or the importance of wearing the boot, etc. She then left the room before I had a chance for questions. She also did not give me any paper instructions for care.My follow up visit she treated me as if I was a child “in trouble”. She berated me for not wearing the boot 100% of the time, then threatened me with surgery and putting me in a cast. I will definitely not recommend Dr. Quiroga

Don’t go to her
She doesn’t care about her patients. Day of my surgery, she didn’t even say “hi” to me. I should have cancelled but everyone said she was so great. I’m 6 months out, still in lots of pain. She told me at one visit, it was just in my head and I was making it worse. I’ve gone to another doctor and he has me in physical therapy. I can feel the scar tissue that has developed from her telling me I didn’t need physical therapy.

I have been to her twice . Both appointments were bad. The first one she just stuck her head in the door and asked if I wanted a cast or a boot. No explanation of what was wrong with my foot. Even though I figured what it was, but she didn't tell me. My second Visit she pushed around on my foot, which hurt a lot! Told me it was getting better and to keep the boot on for 2 more weeks. That was a week ago my foot still hurts really bad. I am not going back she is not for me, no bed side manner, no time for her patients. I will find a different Dr.

I brought my son in who had been having chronic foot problems for some time. I spent 95% of my time talking with the nurse who wrapped my son's feet in this ridiculous tape as if he just got injured. The doctor swooped in and spent less than 5 minutes with us, did not explain what was happening and didn't answer many questions before she swooped out. She prescribed medication and left us with no understanding and no plan. The office said they would contact us and they didn't. Disappointing.
