Office staff is rude. Absolutely no customer service skills whatsoever in person and on the phone. Long waits on both as well. The dr, wrote a prescription for medicine not covered by insurance at all per pharmacist and cost over $700. The entire visit was useless. Don't go here.

As a paying patient i would like to share my experience with this clinic. I had three visits for my foot and the first visit was good, they took good care of my needs and was friendly. On my return visit they seemed to be having trouble figuring out how much my bill would be. They gotbit figured out and i payed them. Well we ordered orthodox onsole and on that visit i was to pay for the services given that day and half the insole price.
My visit today was one i am still upset about. First of all when the young lady called me back, as we was walking down the hall i made a mistake and call one of the girls doc. My bad but mustakes happen. As i sat in my room waiting for the Dr i could hear them talking and laughing about it. Not very professional in my appinion If that is the way you do business i will not be sending people to you for help

Doctor Reaper was great. This was the second surgery my wife had on both feet. He took his time and explained everything my wife felt so comfortable with the whole experience. I would recommend Doctor Reaper to any one wanting help with foot or ankle problems.

I went to the Madisonville location for a heel spur. Visit #1: Xray machine isn't working Visit #2: Computer lost all patient information - they are trying to retrieve Visit #3: They are locked out of office - after an hour, someone arrives with the key Visit #4: Uneventful Visit #5: Supposed to do computer scan of my feet for custom orthotics. They couldn't get it to work. They set up to do plaster. After waiting another 20 minutes, I left. This place is incompetent. I'm going elsewhere. I suggest you do the same!

Dr. Reper sped through my initial examination and consultation for plantar fasciitis. He was rude and dismissive when I asked to begin with conservative treatment rather than a series of injections and told the receptionist to let me know that I could "come back in two weeks if [I] wanted to." The nurse, however, was kind as she took x-rays and showed me how to wear a splint. But all in all, I left feeling upset, disrespected, and without the answers I needed to understand my condition. Luckily, my rheumatologist had already written an order for me to begin physical therapy.
