I could have used a little more customer service, like a wheelchair in and out would have been nice. I'm a single woman and it was extremely hard for me to get around.
Dr. Childs hadn't even read my Dr. Findings and if I were not aware of my own doctor finds, I would be walking on a broken foot right now.
He needs to slow down and take in all the pieces of information to make an informed decision, not shoot from the hip as he did before I spoke up!

He was an hour late for a morning appointment. Didn’t even apologize for being so late. Didn’t introduce his nurse/shadow (not sure the young lady’s role). He spoke way too fast. I did appreciate his honesty about holding off on surgery. However, if I need surgery later on, I would seek a different doctor and honestly I wasn’t impressed with the facility as a whole. I would seek a different practice in its entirety.

Dr Childs saved my left big toe. It was shattered in a accident.
Dec-2021
The moment Dr. Childs came into the examination room I knew he was going to help me. Childs energy was calm but firm, he was truly honest with me about my needs and actually gave me options on ways to improve my feet. I have not yet had a doctor that was not overly aggressive in his approach at getting me into a surgery of some sort. I was given two options for a natural recovery. Dr. Childs was thorough and made the appointment move quickly even while taking me to actually see the X-rays of my feet. I honestly cannot wait to see him again in 8 weeks to move on to the next level of healing.
