I took my 88 yr. oil mom because she had in ingrown tie nail. The front staff was excellent. Dr. Pietszch has great bedside manners. She really made my mom feel comfortable. Also thoroughly explained the process to resolve her issue.
Woke in the middle of the night with my toe throbbing for no discernible reason… what the???? I needed a podiatrist, preferably a female. I turned to Google, and there was one just minutes from my house. I was given an appointment just days away, whenI arrived the receptionist greeted me pleasantly. My wait was short, the nurse was friendly as she did her intake, and Dr. Pietzsch was on time, quickly pin pointed what the problem was and offered me a choice of how I wanted her to treat it. Of course I opted for the non-surgical solution and left with a medication to treat it. She even complimented me on my shoe choice (Vionics) as she left the treatment room. All-in-all it was a very pleasant experience and I will return, and recommend her to my friends!
I love Dr. Pietzsch. She's an excellent podiatrist and also so personable. Even when I don't see her for 2-3 years, she always remembers my "issues." It's like chatting with a friend. The office is quite efficient, and you can do the paperwork online before coming in which I really prefer.
