Foot Doctor in Southfield MI - What You Should Look For

Our insider view of podiatry might just save your feet.  We've been involved in the medical field for 30+ years, and with podiatrists almost the same amount of time. We've seen it all, and can safely make assessments of the podiatrists in the area.  If you're someone with foot problems, you NEED to know that finding the right foot doctor in Southfield MI is a life or death situation.  Pick wisely, and keep your feet!

Geller Foot Clinic:  Dr. Geller is a really great guy, and their office is nice and clean.  Appointments can be hard to come by, and insurance accepted may be limited (and getting more limited every day due to changing reimbursements for podiatrists). He's good for diabetic feet and toenail fungus.  Rate this doc an A.

Michfoot Surgeons (Dr. Randy and Fred Leff): father son duo that have been treating for a long time, these foot doctors are specialists in diabetic wound care and bunion surgery.  If it involves an open wound, these are the guys to go to.  As far as bunion surgery goes, Dr. Randy Leff is amazing and creates beautiful functional feet. Rate both of these doctors an A.

Neil Hertzberg: small office, not my favorite.  Generalist, limited insurance accepted.  I've seen patients have a hard time to get appointments here.  Not recommended.

Family Foot and Ankle: again, not one of my favorites.  I've heard that the service desk is less than courteous.  Recommend avoiding this one.

Dr. Scott/ Foot & Heel: Great doctor, but a middling office.  If I thought the doctor would take it seriously, I'd send in a letter letting them know just what they could improve on to make the practice better.  Staff in the front should be better trained, more insurances accepted.  Rate the doctor a B, practice a C.
