"Dr. Stoeckl has a wonderful bedside manner, sitting down and taking time to explain the procedure... His quiet assurance allayed any fears that I had..."
— Birdeye Review"The podiatrist took (along with insurance) 4 months to obtain MRI's on a 70 yr old patient AND then took another 13 days to provide the MRI results... Do NOT go here if you actually want thorough care and to heal."
— Yelp Review"I've been at patient since 2014 there. Dr. Reed ordered an MRI of my neck. They sent the authorization to the wrong place. 22 phone calls later they never fixed it... Worst experience of my life!"
