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.

Foot issues
My experience with Dr. Beaton and his staff was awesome. After dealing with pain for months Dr. Beaton explained what was going on so that I understood. Now that I have the orthotics I do not have that stabbing pain anymore. I have a lot of respect in Dr. Beaton and his staff. I have already recommended him to co-workers and they were happy as well. The staff was very helpful and friendly and made me feel welcome.

Dr. Beaton just strikes you as someone who has a lot of experience and knows what's going to make the difference in your pain. His staff was welcoming and pleasant...sometimes I miss that at some Dr. offices.

I was in a lot of pain and had never been to a podiatrist. I called the office and Stacey fit me in right away. She was so nice and Dr. Beaton made me feel like I was a patient for years. I definitely will be going back and reccomending him to my friends and family.

I have had extreme back & knee pain for years. I have been treated by other doctors in the past and nothing seemed to ease my pain. I visited Dr Beaton's office in December and after a thorough exam he informed me I needed orthotics. I said yes and have been wearing them ever since. Within 3 weeks my back and knees quit hurting. I cannot remember the last time I felt this good. Stacy (in the front office) was knowledgeable, courteous, and very professional. I strongly recommend this office.

What a great experience AGAIN... such a lovely office. Stacy and Dr Beaton get 2 thumbs up!!! They both go above and beyond to make sure my time at the office is well spent. So glad they have their own office again.

Such an amazing dr. He is an artist, he explains everything. I went in with my mom and we were worried. He started working on my moms foot and he took all our worries!! His receptionist is sooo nice and she isn't rude at all like they say in the other reviews. She is professional and very cheerful everytime we go in! We follow dr. Beaton everywhere he goes and we are so grateful for him. God bless him!

I didn't even make it in to my appointment because I was turned off at how rude the receptionist Stacey was. Dr. Beaton should have better staff representing him

Apparently, Dr. Beaton's staff is more interested in collecting money than caring for the patient. Unless you pay there is no intervention even as a previous patient. Is that why the waiting area is empty. Where is the compassion these days.
