Dr. Petkov and the entire staff provided a very welcoming and professional experience. The office has a family-friendly environment, and the visit went very smoothly from start to finish. During my son’s appointment, they performed a walk test followed by an evaluation with Dr. Petkov. He took the time to assess my son and provided his recommendations, which was very helpful and reassuring. Ciera and Jerrilyn were both wonderful - friendly, helpful, and professional throughout the visit. I would definitely recommend Dr. Petkov to anyone looking for a pediatric foot specialist.

100 plus stars. This is best Foot Doctor I have ever seen. First of all, he came in the room tall and handsome. I forgot about my foot pain, lol. What I loved about Dr. Petkov He introduced himself and then he let me talk to let him know what my problem was regarding my toe(s) I warned him that my toe was in terrible pain and were in bad shape and he was like oh it’s OK that made me feel so comfortable. He explained to me what he thought the problem maybe gave me instructions I want to do. He’s such a gentle giant.
