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 didn’t even need the surgery that crippled me.
Another podiatrist told me that. Said I only needed to walk in better shoes.

I can't imagine how this man, this incredible doctor, could get anything less than a 5 star rating. His quality care, coupled with his professional expertise, could be felt throughout my visit, along with his genuine interest in other aspects of my life.

Dr Cowin operated on my bunions which were causing an increasing amount of pain. Whilst one toe remains uncomfortable, this is compared to the alternative of traditional bunion surgery where the total recovery period can be 12 months or more and I know of instances where friends have been wheelchair bound for sometime . My procedure was only last July therefore I am optimistic that given time the final score will be 100% in the meantime I have no difficulty walking.

Absolutely ruined my second toe which was a hammer toe and he attempted to straighten. It is now floppy and useless and now walk with a limp! Paid $1000 for this hammer toe procedure to Dr. Cowin and $700 for each of the next two toes which he did straighten and they are fine. He refuses to give me a refund even though he "goofed" and ruined my working foot.

I am a nurse. He is the only doctor that cured my foot problem. In the past, I saw 2 other doctors and no help. But Dr. Cowan was so knowledgeable and had great products, was personable and had friendly staff. I can't say enough about them! Don't waste your time with anyone else!
