| - It is difficult and challenging to write a sexy or even cool review of experiences with a podiatrist, so I won't even try. But maybe the information that follows will be useful to someone.
Summerlin Foot & Ankle, besides giving great professional service, is very customer service oriented. This business is located on the second floor of a modern and brightly lit office building in Summerlin. Its waiting room has always been fairly crowded when I've been there, so it appears that several other persons agree that this is a good place to go for a foot or ankle problem. Friendly staff members are sensitive to the amount of time their customers have to spend in the waiting room--which has numerous interesting periodicals available to help that time pass by quickly--and attempt to move patients into examination rooms as swiftly as possible. And, the examination chairs on which I have perched have all been comfortable leather or faux-leather recliners that look brand new. John Cade, D.P.M., is a very knowledgeable and caring podiatrist. A plaque on his office wall congratulating him for being valedictorian of his podiatric college class stands as testament to his acumen in his chosen field.
Dr. Cade has always taken the necessary time to listen to my description of any new development with my feet since the last visit, and has never shown impatience even after being asked several questions. He has always been gentle when examining feet and administering a cortisone shot, and has the skills to perform everything from removing an ingrown toenail to major foot and ankle surgery. His x-ray equipment is digital, with results in only seconds. And, needed orthotics inserts for shoes are measured in the office just by placing both feet on glass while in a seated position, and making digital foot impressions that are then sent on to a lab for fabrication.
After a patient is asked to fill in several forms regarding past medical history, prescription drugs taken, and insurance information on the initial visit, office staff takes the ball from there, bills the patient's insurance for all services rendered, and avoids hassling the patient about any further record-keeping or insurance matters unless it is absolutely necessary to do so. From beginning to end, a visit to Summerlin Foot & Ankle has always been a pleasant experience for me, and I have never entered in trepidation of what was to come. (Of course, I have never had to face any foot or ankle surgery, so that just might be why! :-) LOL)
