Michael Golf, DPM

Very caring Doctor. My appointments are quick, and they always fit me in.

I was a patient of Dr. Golf for nearly 20 years until I had to move away. I have experienced multiple treatments and surgery with Dr. Golf on many occasions — hammer toe, broken toes, fungus, ingrown toenails.
Dr. Golf is a caring and kind physician. If you need treatment for any podiatry issues, I would highly recommend him. He’s the best!

My experience with Dr. Golf should have been relatively simple, getting fitted for orthotics… easy right. Not At ALL. Almost every experience I have had with this office has been a laboring task, like working with five year olds. When I originally went Dr. Golf administered a cortisone short with little explanation or opportunity to turn down the shot. He had the shot ready to go as soon as I was in the room just looking to have me pay extra for something I didn’t want or need. When being fitted for the orthotics the girl who was running the computer program was barely paying attention. Only enough to click the button when I needed to walk across the mat again. when my orthotics arrived Dr. Golf attempted to administer another cortisone shot, having remembered that the first one almost made me pass out he had the insane idea to hold it behind his back! I caught on to his little move and asked him to put it down because I didn’t want to pay for it or get the shot as the first one hurt my foot for almost 24 hours. Long story short the orthotics did not fit correctly I did just as the Dr. asked and broke them in 15 mins a day, then a half hour… and so on. Six weeks went by and my feet hurt worse than before. I asked for a refund and they offered to «adjust them». when I went in to have adjusted he instead prescribed a foot cream that was expensive and did nothing to help my problem. At this point I have no interest in dealing with these people again. they are lazy and have no interest in your well being. they are just running a conveyer belt of cortisone shots and $ 300 waste of your money if they aren’t fitted right orthotics. This entire experience has been a huge waste of my time and money and I regret ever stepping foot, no pun intended, into their office. Shortly after my third visit my wife found a pair of $ 7 foot sleeves that help with plantar fasciitis and have been a dream, compared to the $ 300 orthotic foot insoles that are supposed to last «forever.» These sleeves are great because I can wear them all the time with or without shoes, it helps a lot since I have wood floors which are horrible for plantar fasciitis. Don’t open yourself up for disrespect from these people stay away!

I have been going to this practice for almost 2 years, off and on, as problems pop up. I initially went to Dr. Golf for heel pain, and I thought his advice was too old school and conservative. I found a fancy second opinion, and they provided very aggressive, «state of the art» treatments. After many months and much money, the verdict was exactly what Dr. Golf has prescribed months ago! Following his plan, I recuperated in a couple of months, and the pain has not returned. Dr. Golf and his staff are so very warm, encouraging and accommodating. Walking in to their office is like walking through the door to greet family. His practice is conservative and practical. It simply takes time to heal, and I get that now.

Don’t go! I went so he could look at my hammer toes. I get there and they don’t have my appointment in the system. Then I wait 40 minutes past my ‘scheduled appointment time’. Then the attendant who took me back to the room informed me that my dress was inappropriate for a visit to the podiatrist. This was my first time going to a podiatrist and I came straight from work. She said that many women come in to the office wearing mini skirts who want the doctor’s number. Mind you, I was wearing a knee length dress. I was still mortified. My face turned red and I didn’t know what to say. Then when Dr. Golf comes in and I tell him that I want to know how to fix my hammer toes, he tells me there is nothing you can do about it. You will have to wait until you are older when your toes curl under each other and then when it becomes painful we can do surgery. No thanks. All around I was pissed I had to pay for this worthless, pointless visit. Waste of my time. I never write reviews, but feel strongly about how god awful this visit was.
