Merritt Island Foot & Ankle

Dr San Diego is the best. After going through a set of operations and infections with a prior Doctor this miracle worker had me fixed up in 3 months.

I’m always skeptical when going to a new Doctor… the staff was not just pleasant, but enjoyable to be around. Each and every one of them were polite to me and more importantly, my 5 year old son — who joined me at my appointment. The staff sweetly kept him occupied while I was getting an x-​ray; and upon entering the exam room Dr. San Diego greeted him with a huge smile and high five. He even kindly answered all of my kiddos questions. At my follow up, he even gave my son «a toy» to occupy him. It’s a tough job, but they make it look so easy.

Home run.
I never went here before. My feet generally behave themselves, but then last week…
My doctor gave me a list of foot docs in the area and I called them all. Only one understood my pain (I tend to use my foot a lot, almost every day, so this was important) and made me an appointment for the next day, first appointment. I got the feeling that they held the first appointments for idiots like me. Good call. I picked up the forms that day to fill out so I could have everything ready. I was in serious pain.
I didn’t, of course (missed a few things on the form), but they just ran through the list of the things I missed, sat me in the room. I had a hugely painful infected ingrown toenail. They see it all the time.
The doc and assistant were spot on. No pain through the whole procedure. I had an additional foot problem which he diagnosed in about 20 seconds and handed me some material on how to deal with it. «If you follow this and it’s not better in 2 weeks for our follow up on the toe, then we’ll talk.»
My appointment was at 8 a.m., I was walking out to my car at 8:35 a.m. For a first time patient I was amazed. Usually for a 12 month checkup at my regular doc, checkup I’d still be sitting in the waiting room at this point, flipping through People Magazine trying to figure out why I should care about Kim Kardashian.
Here I was with ‘minor surgery’ walking out, problem solved.
Very cool.
The pain is gone, the foot is on the heal. No meds needed.
Absolute professionalism all the way around. Ten stars if possible. Seriously, I give restaurants I like 5 stars just because I like their food. I’m giving 10 stars because I can walk again without looking like Kevin Spacey in the Usual Suspects.
