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.

Wonderful experience. Appointments on time, friendly staff, and most importantly, Dr. Schlam is a great Podiatrist. I have had burning sensation in both feet. He recommended a cortisone shot for the most aggravated foot, and told me the other foot will heal on its own when the inflammation subsided. I was an unbeliever, since in the past other injuries cortisone shots were painful and ineffective. So happy to say, the pain of the shot was minimal (he was very gentle and hit the exact spot). That was the last of the pain in both feet! I would absolutely recommend him to any friend or relative.

Staff was extremely helpful in getting an appointment in a timely manner for a new patient. Dr. Schlam was excellent. He explained exactly what needed to be done and was gentle and caring. He had reviewed my medical history and made suggestions about vitamins that would be helpful for me. All in all the staff and Dr. Schlam are wonderful!

He told me I needed casts on both my son's feet, which the next doctor I went to said I didn't and he healed fine without them. He told me I needed to buy $400+ orthotics, that my insurance did not cover them. The next doctor I went to gave them to me free (since the insurance did cover them).

Dr Schlam is the best. I went to him for an injury to my sons toenail and he had my son back in action within a few days. Also went to Dr Schlam for my daughter's heel pain. He is always attentive and informative and an all around pleasant doctor.

About Me

care philosophy

As a podiatrist, I think of the patient and doctor as a team, working together to formulate a treatment plan. While I enjoy treating all foot and ankle conditions, my specific interests focus on the diagnosis and treatment of difficult cases, foot surgery, trauma, and the special foot concerns of diabetic patients.
