Colin Traynor, D.P.M.

I had surgery on my foot back in February and everything went incredibly well. I followed Dr. Traynor’s advice thoroughly during my recovery and it went even better than I could have imagined. I was back on my feet and into my usual routine in 6 weeks and the scar is barely visible. The office staff, especially Cherice (sp?) who schedules surgeries were highly efficient, warm and helpful with everything from making appointments to dealing with the insurance companies. I am amazed at the outcome of my procedure.

Thanks, Unilocalers, for the tips that helped me find a great podiatrist! I am usually a minimalist kind of person and will avoid going to a doctor (even more, a specialist!) unless 1) I can’t eat or 2) I can’t run.
So naturally, when this weird, hard, sore lump appeared on my foot a little over a month ago. my first thought was «oh crap, please don’t be a stress fracture! Where’s the closest, good podiatrist!?»
My visit with Dr. Traynor and his resident podiatrist, Laura, went GREAT. He clearly has a lot of experience, patience, and professionalism that went beyond what I was hoping for. He took his time to explain to me (and Laura) his observations and diagnosis (not as serious as I thought it would be), along with what I should do or look out for next. Thank the running gods, I do not have a stress fracture! The x-​rays came out fine, and he mentioned MRI only if I wanted. but really erred on the side of «keep an eye on it, and if it gets larger/​more painful we can try the (pricier) MRI later.»
Dr. Traynor also took the time to answer my questions about my thickened, yucky runner toenails that I’ve had since high school (that would be over 10 years ago). As my sister suspected and as he confirmed, I just need to keep filing these bad boys down (okay, Diana, maybe I’ll finally go in for one of those thingymajigs. pedicure?)! Sheesh. If running won’t get you in-​tune with your body, I don’t know what will.
I left the office feeling reassured knowing that 1) I can still run and 2) in case my weird lump-​friend turns into a monstrous balloon on my foot, I know who to go back to. Thanks, Dr. Traynor for your help! :) Will be recommending ya to my running team!
PS — The front office staff are super nice as well, and they have free coffee by the waiting room!

I broke my right ankle in Sept of 2013. Dr Traynor performed surgery and I now have a metal plate and 6 screws in there.
Fast forward to Oct 19, 2014. I just finished walking the Nike Women’s Half Marathon with no pain in the ankle. Just some blisters and sore calves. Thanks Dr Traynor!

Here’s a shout out to Dr. Colin Traynor and resident, Dr. Starks for their excellent medical attention to a serious «foot issue». After visiting several podiatrists without any effective resolution, Dr. Traynor was confident that he could resolve my complicated and unsightly foot deformity and inspired me to trust and believe that I would benefit from corrective surgery. Not only did he improve the quality of my ambulation, but he also has given me the confidence to wear sandals without shame. Dr. Traynor had a gentle and warm bedside manner that soothed any fears that arose as I recovered.
In closing, I venture to say that Dr. Traynor is the best podiatrist/​surgeon/​teacher, who is also an unselfish inspiration to soon to be podiatrists as they prepare to graduate. Also, a medical office needs to have friendly and knowledgable staff so a special mention to Shareice and Mary-​Ann, who have always taken good care of me. Believe me, you cannot go wrong with Dr. Traynor, who has enhanced the overall quality of my life.

After years of minor sprains to my left ankle I severely sprained it playing basketball and knew it was time to do something about it.Dr. Traynor was recommended to me by a friend and I normally hate the whole process of Dr. visits but was pleasantly surprised by the entire experience at Dr. Traynor’s office.
They got me in quickly and the whole process from the initial examination to x-​rays and diagnosis and recommendations went very smoothly. Dr. Traynor is very reassuring and easy to talk to and his professionalism and intelligence definitely gave me confidence in his diagnosis and recommendations. He gave me a game plan on how to let my ankle heal and then rehab it and I’m happy to say that the ankle now feels stronger than ever. I hope I don’t have to go back for any more ankle injuries but if I do I’ll feel confident seeing Dr. Traynor and would recommend him to anyone.

I damaged my ankle playing rugby and a friend of mine mentioned that Dr Traynor had done a great job fixing up their leg after a similar injury. I can now say that I recommend Dr Traynor as well. He is professional, calming and very easy to get along with. I can now say that my broken ankle is back to full strength largely thanks to Dr Traynor’s accurate diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation plan.

I have been suffering with a stasis ulcer for more than thirty years. I have been to several doctors over the last thirty years. I have been in pain for for over thirty years. Dr. Traynor has done so much to alleviate the pain in my toes and the open ulcer on my ankle that has plagued me constantly. He has done more for me in eighteen months than any of the doctors I have seen over the last thirty years, Dr. Traynor is the best podiatrist wound care specialist I have ever had.
