Henke Podiatry

I am sorry someone else had a bad experience because I found him to be very personable, attentive and thoughtful in his treatment approach. While the office ran a little slower than I would have liked, I was appreciative that he was so thorough.

I saw Dr. Henke about 18 months ago for pain in my metatarsal area. He showed me the x-​rays indicating I have no cartilage left and explained 3 options ranging from better shoes (i.e. $ 45 tennis shoes and no more flip-​flops) and an anti-​inflammatory cream to 2 different types of surgery. He didn’t push me one way or the other. Being cheap, I opted for better shoes, to start with.
That worked fine for over a year, but it finally became so painful that I went back in and learned about the other options. I chose to have the surgery. It went very smoothly and I healed great until 7 weeks after the surgery, it started hurting and x-​rays revealed the implant (screw that gives me «wiggle room» with my big toe) had failed and was working its way out of the bone.
So, that’s a bummer, but the repair surgery is much less invasive and recovery time will be much shorter, and a medical device failure is certainly not his fault.
I’ve been very pleased with him and his staff.
I will say that he did have a receptionist when I first saw him who was not very friendly at all, but his new receptionist is great as is his clinical assistant. It’s funny. I always have a good time when I go there. Even his patients are nice!

I am very disappointed in Dr. Henke.
I had a painful planters wart on my heel (that I think I got from the YMCA). Something had to be done. So I found Dr. Henke on the Internet and made an appointment. He treated it and said it MAY need treated one more time. He wanted me to come back in 2 weeks to check on it. I have no insurance but I decided to listen and do the 2 week check.
Came back for the check up and he treated them again. By this time I have over 300 $ on this one freaking wart. This keeps going on and on. The 3^rd time I see him he gives me a roll on prescription that was also 68 $. That didn’t work either.
So lets just say that I gave them a little over 500 $ for this stupid wart on my heel. And it’s better, but still there! I called them to see if he could just finally take care of it and be done with whole thing. Just to make me a happy meatiest and fix this. Make me happy. Not at all. The front desk lady who I talked to was very rude. She didn’t understand my situation and was unwilling todo anything to make this right. I have no insurance. Dr. Henke and his staff just want your money. They want to see you at least 5 times to take your money. AND still have the same issue that never even got fixed.
My advice, pick another foot doctor because this one doesn’t know what he is doing.
