Damaneon Smith & Associates, PC

I called and was able to get a morning appointment the next day. I actually had several options which was a little concerning but I decided to go with it based on the reviews. I was not disappointed. Dr. Smith was amazing. My appointment was at 9:15 and I was done by 9:45. I had something lodged in the ball of my foot. Sure enough it was glass. Dr. Smith put alcohol on it and said we wouldn’t need to numb it. He started to scrape to get in the glass. As this injury was a couple weeks old scar tissue already surrounded it. He was able to get all the glass and scar tissue out. in 5 minutes. There was no pain either. He advised me there might be some scaring but to put some embalmment lotion on (Which he provided). He said if there was any other issues with it to call. He then addressed my concerns about a bunion and said it was genetic. It wasn’t bad and as long as my arches didn’t hurt it was fine. Just keep the fashionable shoes to a minimum. I would go back to Dr. Smith in a heartbeat. He doesn’t take Aetna which I found out when I made the appointment. They said it would be $ 100 and it was.

I think this doctor is AWESOME. I’ve had my share of work on my feet, and I’ve seen many podiatrists over the years. He correctly diagnosed the current problem, and even suggested several other things that were totally on the mark (based on symptoms I hadn’t even mentioned to him). His expertise is clear, and he’s also engaging, personable, and willing to answer the dozens of questions I ask. Because he’s also active (he says he does yoga), he’s someone you can relate to if you’re a relatively young, athletic type.
I actually looked forward to the follow-​up visits because I knew I could ask him a bunch of questions and come out with a good sense of direction about what I need to do– now, how many doctors can you say THAT about?
His receptionist can be a bit slow, but his nurse is very friendly, remembers your name, and has great customer service skills.

What a great experience, the doctors were great, they got me in and out very efficiently. It was a very seamless experience. I will certainly go back when needed.

Dr Smith is wonderful. He cured a foot fungus that I’d suffered with for years, removed painful bone spurs from my toes, and gave me a comfortable orthotic that I can use in all my shoes (except sandals).

Dr. Smith is very personal. He helped me out with some foot issues I was having, and I am feeling a lot better now. His staff are very nice, and helpful Highly Recommended.

The office staff and nurse are friendly, yet low key, which I appreciate. Mary made sure I got the appointment day /​time I needed given my work schedule and was ready with paperwork when I arrived. Dr. Smith was polite and professional, knowledgeable and caring. He explained his recommendations and my options clearly. He is not an advocate of surgery. He considers it a last resort and will do it only when other options fail. His solutions for my foot problems were inexpensive and they are slowly working. He does not charge mega $$ for his services; he is very reasonable. The office building is older and not may not have the latest décor or «state of the art» equipment. But they have good working equipment and the office is clean and orderly – that matters most, in my opinion. It was interesting to see my X-​ray results and have them explained in detail by Dr. Smith.
Based upon my three visits so far, I would certainly recommend this practice. I really want to give 4 ½ stars, but Unilocal does not allow the halves.

I was able to get an appointment that day which made me a bit concerned. Then again I was very thankful since I had an ingrown toenail that needed work.
The admin was very nice and I give them a thumbs up. I could hear the doc in the waiting room, sounded like he was giving him the third degree but who am I to judge. Just annoying having to listen to the guy. Really loud! Didn’t wait long so that’s a plus. Was taken to a room and the nurse was very kind and attentive.
Dr.Smith came in and we got down to business which was nice since I was on my break from work. He took one look and agreed, it had to be numbed and cut. He put two needle shots in my toe which I was not prepared for. (Note to self never get an ingrown toenail). He tried to have me calm down because I was not prepared for the numbing shot to feel make my toe feel like it was on fire and the needle felt like it was going through my toe. After he was done putting Novocaine into my toe. He cut the in bedded nail and showed me what had happened. He explained to me what to do now that things were taken care of. He was very friendly and to the point. He did try to make conversation and kept thinking I was still in school. In the end, he bandaged my toe and told me to come back in two weeks. When I went to the front desk, I made my appointment and HAD TO REMIND the receptionist that I had to pay my co-pay…strange.
Overall, I was satisfied. Just two things that bothered me but I am a fan and would recommend him to anyone with an ingrown toenail. As he stated, «I do these a lot… guess I shouldn’t complain… keeps me busy.» I give it two toes up!

I went to Dr. Smith because I was having terrible pain in my foot the day before I was supposed to leave for a cruise. His office was able to fit me in and I received top notch service. Dr. Smith was able to diagnose that I had fractures in both my feet (from too much high impact exercise). He quickly treated my foot pain saving my vacation!

He was awful! I have extremely messed up ankles with fused bones. I had a wonderful podiatrist but recently moved and had to find a new one. This doctor told me that my ankles are fine and that I should be able to wear heels, sandals, etc. whenever I want. All the other podiatrists I have ever been to would most definitely disagree with this! Especially for someone with bad ankles! He ignored everything I told him about my previous experiences with other podiatrists. He also cursed casually a number of times while talking to me, which I find extremely unprofessional and inappropriate.
I would never, ever go back here, and I certainly don’t recommend him to anyone!
