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 Doctor You Want for Your Feet
I had all five metatarsals corrected by an orthopedic surgeon six months before seeing Dr. Childress to address the problem that caused the original surgery. In March 2022 a plate was placed in my big toe to get it back in alignment and the other toes were straightened. Within six weeks post op the second metatarsal dropped and caused a significantly painful callus ulcer the orthopedic dr. would only treat with more surgery. October-enter Dr. Childress who I saw him one time and set up corrective surgery. He removed a "knuckle" in the second toe to prevent the callus return. He is kind & very interested in the patient's knowledge of what he will do and why & his staff is kind & courteous also. When released he told me things not to do to ensure good foot health that the original surgeon had ignored. I would recommend Dr. Childress to anyone with a foot problem. Dr. Childress group treats all foot needs, corns, calluses, etc while - an orthopedic surgeon only preforms surgery.

Great Doc
Had midfoot pain for months, finally went in to see him. Of course, it was arthritis. He gave me a shot and I walked out the door and have been pain free for months. Only wish I had gone in sooner!

If you value your time or want a friendly office staff, DO Not Go Here!!!! Staff is rude. They reschedule your appointment and leave you in the waiting room for over an hour. No care of patients. Worst experience ever!
