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.

Dr Thurston and his staff are awesome!! I had repairs done on both of my feet with great results. Professional and truly cares!!

Dr Thurston is a considerate, kind and extremely professional physician. He lays out several options and is never pushy to do surgery when a more conservative treatment is an option.

One of the best doctor's I have ever had the pleasure of being under the care of. He takes the time to listen to his patients, answers questions about medications, procedures, and aftercare, and he is just an all-around super physician. He is the first person I recommend to anyone needing a podiatrist that is thorough and accurate with a wonderful bedside manner.

Very gentle, thorough and kind. He was very sensitive to the needs of my mother. A staff member brought her in in a wheel chair. The kind techician was supportive as he assisted Mom getting the x-rays taken.

Dr. Thurston is personable, really listens, is concerned, and makes me feel very comfortable. His staff is so friendly- you feel like a friend instead of just a patient. Unfortunately, I have several medical conditions so I am very familiar with the medical community. Dr. Thurston is a 10 in my book!
