Knedgen, Joseph DPM FACFAS DAFAS

I had ingrown toe surgery years ago here and had insurance. I have a couple ingrown toenails that I wanted Dr. Knedgen to look at to see if he could help me again. I told his staff on the phone, when I made the appointment, that I was now self pay. I asked how much an office visit was — $ 91. Okay. I arrived 3 minutes late. The staff asked for my insurance and a copy of my drivers license. I told them again, I did not have insurance. So they still wanted my drivers license which I thought was a little odd and asked why. They said they needed it for my file. Okay. They gave me 3 forms as they said I needed to update my file which took me 5 minutes. Then they said it was $ 91. A little later they said they needed me to pay that now. WHAT? I said «before services are rendered». I said «what if he does more and they said I would pay additional $ afterwards». REALLY! I waited 30 minutes and then asked how much longer it would be, as I had another appointment afterwards. I told her my time is just as valuable as the doctor’s. They said we’ve asked you 3 times for payment — in other words you’re not going to be seen without paying first. Then she said «and you were 20 minutes late» — that was news to me. I have never had this happen in over 40 years of going to medical professionals. HOW VERY UNPROFESSIONAL!!! Go somewhere else — there’s a couple podiatrists that have better ratings. Wonder why — can you say GREED. You are not going to get any help like the other reviewer said, unless his $ is already in the bank!

Listen, screw up you feet just so you can go see this guy. Going to the podiatrist should suck, but it’s pleasant with Sierra Podiatry. Dr. Knedgen and his staff are great. They call days in advance to confirm you appointment. They got me in same-​day when I was experiencing pain. The staff is casual yet professional. And the doctor practices great medicine.
Dr. Knedgen is conservative in his treatment and clear in his explanations. He’s patient when you’re a big baby, which I absolutely am. I feel that I am under exceedingly competent and conscientious care with Sierra Podiatry.

i had to go see him twice due to extreme foot pain. i am talking to the point, i could not stand up on them. Due to my age he blow me off. So i am still living in daily pain and having a really hard time getting around and taking care of my 2 year old.
if you are young not have great insurance find someone else. You will be treated like shit here. He will just blow you off.

I went to see Dr. Knedgen back in June for a severely infected and ingrown toenail. His staff was very friendly and was able to get me in for an office visit on very short notice when other offices were unable to see within even a month’s time of a booking an appointment. Dr. Knedgen was very friendly, explained exactly what he was going to do, and it only took him around 20 minutes to numb my toe, excise the nail and bandage me up. If I ever have another toe issue or an ingrown nail, I will definitely be returning to see Dr. Knedgen, he is a very nice man and a very competent podiatrist. Highly recommend him!
