When asked if I would recommend friends to the practice, I reluctantly said, yes. I like Dr. Berkun and his staff but, in my opinion, the wait times are excessive. For my last three visits, the wait time to be called back just tShow moreo answer questions for the tech has been over 45 minutes and then another 15 minutes to see the doctor. I would gladly give a 5-star rating if the wait times were 15 minutes. I'm expected to be on time, aren't I? Just saying.
Dr. And staff, very Informative. I did not know that the medication Metformin can damage the nervous system. I told her that I take Cyanocobalamin 1000 MGC/ML INJ once a month and B 12 complex once a day. Dr. Assured me this was aShow more good treatment and no need for other medication. I am very satisfied with the Service Cortez Ankle and Foot has given me. I am looking forward to my next visit.

Excellent
Wish Rose had been available today. My tech was nice but not as experienced.
Friendly staff
I was good. They respect my time and got me in and out. They treaded my feet well.
Everything was taken care of. Did not have to wait long, for my 3:30 apt.
The folks at the Cortez Foot & Angle are great. They are very polite and courteous. Dr. Berkun is super.
Professional, knowledgeable and kind.
Always running late Building too small. No time to ask questions. Be truthful about what is happening. Staff very crowded and halls narrow
I was seen by Dr Harte and he took plenty of time to help me feel heard and feel clear on possible options
Everyone is so nice and super efficient
OUTSTANDING, Professional Courteous, swift, & most knowledgeable.
On time pleasant polite staff. Dr Berkun great Doc.
The young lady who did my nails today was awesome. I believe her name was Melanie (I apologize for incorrect spelling.) She was teaching a lady named Lily.
Everyone was friendly and helpful.
Efficiently took x-rays etc to prepare me for exam with Dr. Berkun who took great care of me and as a result I had immense relief from the horrendous foot pain I was suffering.
Very easy to understand and he addressed all my concerns.
Caring and attentive to my needs
I was offered reassurance that I needed no liver function follow up after taking the fungus med.
He always listens and is caring. Has taken good care of my feet for a couple of years now. Front desk is always friendly and helpful.
Fabulous
Always very pleasant. The staff is always courteous and polite. Of course our family has had lots of confidence in Dr. Berkum and respect and highly recommend him.
Well organized wonderful customer service! So appreciate all of the staff members and my doctor Dr. Burkun!
I was very pleased for the care I received. The staff was efficient, and gentle to my nail care. I have had past problems that have been resolved with only two treatments. I would suggest to anyone that has nail problems to make an appt. You would not regret it.
Great!
The technician cut & polished my toenails to my satisfaction & Dr. Berkun answered some questions I had about arthritis in my feet. Good visit as usual.
My experience was very good like always, the staff is very nice and profesional , doctor very pleasant .
Very well!
