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.

The girls were very welcoming and so was Dr Totten. He spent more time with me explaining the problems with my toes more so than any other Podiatrist I have seen. I would highly recommend him for toenail cutting to any problems with your feet.

I have been on a regimen of medications for a multitude of ailments for awhile now. One of my doctors has been advising that I take an anti-depressant but I hadn't been able to tolerate any that I'd tried as they all make my vision blurry, so I was just dealing with stress and depression as best I could. When Dr. Totten recommended PharmDoc Organics CBD oil to me, I was surprised but decided to give it a shot. What was shocking was how WELL it worked! Just a little bit had a calming, moderating effect that I had been seeking but without any side effects. Not only that, but I suffer from fibromyalgia which gives me trouble sleeping due to nerve sensitivity. With CBD oil at night, I was able to cut out one of the Rxs that I was using for that completely. I checked with all my other doctors, and they were all satisfied that there were no negative contra-indications and the source was quality. Dr Totten is a caring, competent and compassionate physician and I'm so glad he's on my team!

There is a reason I travel over 25 miles to visit Dr. Totten. For over 25 years I have relied on his expertise and compassion for treatment of my injuries. From fractured ankles, to torn muscles and ligaments, to gout and other illnesses, Dr. Totten has treated my family members for one reason or another. My father ( also a patient) has said Dr. Totten makes you feel you are the most important person in the world and cradles your foot like a baby. I have no doubt his accurate diagnosis an

He was okay when I first went to him. He seems not to want to deal with insurance to correct his staffs incompetence. The staff member that is responsible for putting in CORRECT diagnosis codes on insurance papers, does not. I would never recommend this doctor even for a toe hangnail.
