Hillsboro Foot & Ankle Clinic

I’ve seen Dr. Gary Chiotti multiple times over the past several months for wart removal on my foot. He’s been very professional and up-​front about treatment options and the staff are very professional and helpful.

I saw Dr. Elliot Michael for plantar fasciitis. I was in a lot of pain. Dr. Michael put me in a boot and sent me off with some hamstring stretching exercises. I came back a week or two later and was not better at all. He gave me crutches and sent me on my way. I didn’t get better. I saw him two weeks later and when he touched my foot I screamed and cried. He walked out of the room and wouldn’t even look at me. He was not empathetic at all. He later gave me a cortisone shot. It did nothing. He gave me pain killers. I was still in terrible pain. He then told me that he had nothing else he could do for me. Meanwhile, I had been an a boot for months not able to walk (I had a 1.5 year old and a 3 year old at home) foot had a bunion on it which progressively got worse because I was in a boot for so long. I had given up total hope of ever getting better and was sure I would have chronic pain for the rest of my life when friend of mine told me about another podiatrist who would send me to physical therapy. I saw this other podiatrist and went to physical therapy. They did the graston technique on my calf and were eventually able to do it on the spot on my foot that hurt the worst after a month and a half of graston and calf and foot stretches and eventually the pain stopped. I am now pain free but not because Dr. Michael. He had given up on me.
