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.

I Will forever Be grateful for dr. Florek. He performed calcaneal surgery on my foot after my car accident and some days it seems like i don't even have 6 screws and a plate :)!

Dr. Florek is a very compassionate and caring doctor. He treats his patients with respect and gentleness. He offers sound advice and let patient make his/her decision. I have been his patient for the past 3 years and really like his upbeat attitude. I respect his knowledge and skills in treating foot and ankle problems.

I've been seeing him for over two years and plan on continuing being his patient for as long as needed. I started going to him after my wife fractures 1 toe, according to Drs in urgent care while we were in Sacramento, CA. . Dr Florek discovered she had three fractured toes not one. I had been having a little problems with my feet so I started going to him. I trust Him

Dr. Derek Florek DPM is a modern day MIRACLE WORKER!! My husband was suffering from a horrific bout of GOUT and in excruciating pain and could not even WALK!! We were referred to Dr. Florek who took the time to explain what gout is, what causes it, how to treat it and how to prevent future flareups!! Thanks to Dr. Florek and his aMaZiNg office staff, my hubby is once again off and running!! My husband actually looks forward to his annual check up so he can tell Dr. Florek how well he's doing!

First consultation with Dr. Florek he was extremely informative about my condition and my options. Also, let me know what his plan of action would be to treat my problems and asked me more than once if I understood what the x-rays showed, what the treatment would entail and what he wanted me to do over the next month before my next appointment with him. I was very pleased with his demeanor and his ability to explain and the time he took to make sure I understood what he planned to do.
