Richard Woo, DPM

My daughter was complaining about her feet and ankles hurting, so I went online to check podiatrists. The ones that I found on Unilocal were okay, but I decided to do further research and find a good, solid one on my own. Dr. Richard Woo’s background and online reviews are commendable; therefore, I felt comfortable going to him. Although there were some issues scheduling a date because he recently moved offices from San Mateo to Burlingame, the receptionist was helpful and patient, which is a good sign.
After «encouraging» my DD to wash her feet out of respect for the doctor, we went to the appointment yesterday and waited about 10 – 15 minutes to be seen. Dr. Woo is professional and personable… very nice guy overall. He did a thorough examination on my DD. Of course, I always ask lots of questions and he answered each one. Some of the questions didn’t pertain to my daughter but I wanted to see if he would go the extra mile within reason. I liked the fact that he recommended OTC arches and certain shoes that would help my DD. He explained that custom-​made orthodics are expensive and most insurance companies do not cover them. However, if the OTC orthodics don’t work, we will need to follow up with him. I would recommend him and will go see him in a few months (if I don’t chicken out) for my appointment.
The office is bare but clean. They just moved in recently, so the decorations are on the back burner.
