Dr Palmer the best at taking care of your nails. He trims my ingrown great toenail with minimal discomfort. I am in a wheelchair and he gets down on the floor to accommodate my needs.

I hand carried my referral from my primary care physician over to Gateway Foot & Ankle. The receptionist was very helpful, she scanned in my referral and asked if I was available the same afternoon due to a cancelation. I arrived at my scheduled time and was seen shortly after. After a few x-rays I met with Dr. Smith. Dr. Smith answered all of my questions and concerns. I feel very confident should I elect to have surgery he is the right fit for me.

Dr.T is great he listens to you explain what your problem is then he tells you what the problem is.

Dr. Palmer was probably the most caring doctor I have visited in some time. He was willing to spend the time and ask questions to see that all my concerns were addressed.

Office staff were extremely welcoming and up-tempo. You can tell it's a place where people enjoy the jobs they do. Joy was especially helpful. Dr. Truscello was personable and instantly put me at ease. He is perceptive, knows his business, and inspires confidence. These folks are so good at what they do that i'm hoping for future foot problems, just so i'll have an excuse to go back.

I got confused with our new vet and reviewed him. lol!!! This is what happens in old age - just wait and see. I saw Dr. Palmer because I am 82 years old, with 2 knee replacements and could no longer cut my toenails. I also had an ingrown toe nail, and I am very happy to say, I am no longer in pain. I am very pleased with Dr. Palmer and I will be a return patient. Thank you Dr. Palmer.

Friendly and courteous staff. Very professional and informative.

Dr. Palmer is one of the best providers I've interacted with, and I worked in the medical system for 16 years, and have gone to doctors for ailments for 50 years. He listens, doesn't judge, and does his absolute best to help his patients. I will not go to another foot/ankle doctor as long he is working in Clarksville.

Dr Breitenbach is friendly & cared for me very good. She explains what is happening & takes good care to be gentle in my problem areas of my feet.

After a little wait, I feel like I got to experience a helpful, caring nurse, and doctor. They both showed me respect, a knowledge of the possible things that could be going on with my foot. After 4 months of hurting, I truly appreciate their thoughtfulness in my care and I thank them both for this...

I think Dr.Droll is a good podiatrist I was sent by referral both times I went. I just don’t think we should have to do a survey every single time we go to the doctor.

Seen fast, was above and beyond willing to listen. Made a plan going forward that worked for both of us. Highly recommend

Takes time to answer all questions and concerns. Doesn't try to hurry and rush you out the door like other physicians.

Very nice doctor

Outstanding services from Dr. Palmer. Great Doctor.

Warm greetings from doctors and assistant, not too much w receptionist! Not even a greeting like Good morning, May I help you, etc. She just opened the window and expected me to start conversation.

Best doctor ever

My overall health and pain level has drastically improved under Dr. Palmer's care.

Very caring and kind podiatrist

Exceptional!! Dr. Droll patiently listened to all of this patients concerns, formulated a plan and discussed it with me. Then applied her professional expertise and medical skills for treatment. As I told her, it has been decades since I've encountered such a competent and all around professional in the medical field. I look forward to my future visits to address my concerns.

Very helpful and considerate

Dr Palmer was very personable. He listened to my questions and addressed my concerns

Very pleasant experience from beginning to end. Thank you very much.

Doctor is excellent in his field. He does not play around with trivia information - he tell you what option you have and assist you in deciding your choice n Made. Awesome physician!!!!

She found the tiniest piece of glass in my foot. Thank you!

I had my big toe toenail removed 6 years ago, but the root wasn't killed. I have been to 7 doctors now, and they all tell me it is not toenail, but neuropathy. Dr. Truscello could see toenail growing through the skin and removed some of it. It needs to be deadened for him to work on, so I have an appointment in several weeks for him to work on my toe. I feel like I finally have a doctor who cares and is going to take care of the problem. One dr? wanted to amputate the end of my big toe to correct the problem. She charged the insurance $11,000 to remove a little sliver of toenail and was so rude and hateful. Glaad Dr. Truscello's office is not like that.

Doctor Palmer is very helpful will any questions i have and is very professional

She’s the best. Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else.

Very easy to talk to. Answers all my questions Always have a pleasant visit.

Very thorough and accommodating.

DR SMITH IS A VERY GOOD DR THANK YOU.

I have only been a patient for a short time (2 visits), but I am very satisfied with the treatment given by Dr. Bridges and the staff.

Dr. Palmer was very professional and not in a hurry to get out of the exam room. He did a good job on trimming my toenails and my foot exam. Since I am diabetic and cannot to my own nails without cutting my toes it is necessary that I have good foot care by a professional. Thanks for the good care.

clean and fresh facility. great doc and tech. receptionist had to help me on computer inputs and did so in a friendly manner.. i hope i get results next week not in 2 weeks. will go back. my feet arent too bad yet though.

Very professional

Very personable. Professional in her care.

Dr Droll has been wonderful in the recovery from my break. She takes the time to go the extra mile and is concerned with my recovery. I appreciate her attention to details and the care she provides.

I am so pleased with Doctor Palmer and his staff. He explains things to me about my feet. I can ask him questions and he answers them honestly. I am so glad that I found his office by accident. He the best and so is his staff.

Thanks

The best

I love Dr. Palmer! He is very personable and friendly. Each time I came to see him, I felt like he genuinely cared about ME as an individual. He was very attentive and took time listening to my observations and concerns. He offered his knowledge and suggestions, yet left the decision completely up to me without sending any kind of guilt message for doing so. I did not feel any pressure to have a procedure or surgery nor did he give the impression that I was wasting his time (sadly, I cannot say this of some other physicians I have seen in the past). I highly recommend Dr. Palmer - he not only has the expertise but a great personality as well.

Very satisfied with care provided.,

My experience with Dr. Palmer was positive in every aspect! He’s a great doctor and I was impressed with my experience!

She was very informative and knowledgeable with the concerns that I had. I would definitely recommend her with high regards.

I was very comfortable with her she was very rversed with my problem being a dropped foot she's giving me some hope about getting better I'm just very very happy with her service and her knowledge.

Dr Tori was awesome. It's just a shame the staff is such a horrible experience. I ordered shoes, and was never called that they were in. They do not fit well, but they were more concerned in having me just sign off on them. I still have no idea how to pay my bill. The office manager is full of excuses, not sure if any solutions. And then proceeded to tell the employee, while I am standing there my grievances with her. An employee who has access to all my information, I find that very unprofessional. Save yourself a trip, and find somewhere else. Such a shame , since it seems the providers are well liked.

Great

He is so amazing even explain everything with every detail so I can have an idea what is going on and what next.

N/A

Dr. Bridges is very caring. The entire staff if very friendly and welcoming.

Absolutely by far the best foot doctor I’ve ever seen!! She actually listens, addresses all my concerns and questions!! I don’t do reviews but she definitely knows what she’s doing!!

Surgery was a success!

Dr.Droll is by far the best. She is caring and very compassionate. You can tell she likes her job. She actually takes the time to listen to her patients. She is one in a million, everyone I run into I tell them about her. Thank you so much for your help.

Very professional explained my situation to wear I understood her. Told me what needed to be done set up MRI was given shot in left ankle which has helped for the time.being.

Dr. Breitenbach was wonderful! She was thorough and explained all my options. I was in and out of the office within 30 minutes.

Dr. Truscello is a no nonsense, question answering and patient doctor. In this day and age these type of professionals are very hard to find - but the appreciation for them are immeasureable - as I am for Dr. Truscello.

Dr. Tori was very prompt, very professional and explained what she was doing in a manner that I could understand. She is very good at what she does and my visit to her office was a good experience.

This review is ONLY in relation to ordering custom Aerodyne walking shoes from this practice. I recommend you do not order shoes from here. My walking shoes cost $130 total, half down when ordered. They are manufactured overseas, and it takes 4 - 6 weeks to get them. Two thorny issues with this purchase: I was told they would call me when they arrived into the office. Neither for the initial pair I ordered, nor for the re-order did anyone contact me. It took 5 weeks to receive the initial order, and 3 weeks for the reorder. For the money spent, I thought that someone would call me and say the shoes were ready for pickup. I had to call in several times to check up on both orders. Secondly, the manufacturer will recommend that you take them home and walk around inside to see if the shoes fit. If they don't, you may re-order once with no charge, but you can never say that the shoes do not work for you and that you want your money back. BIG MISTAKE! Never order shoes without being able to try them on the first time. Never order shoes that are non-refundable. I learned my lesson the hard way. I don't recommend buying custom shoes from this practice. If there is no ability to try on shoes to determine whether they are for you, don't waste your money.

Dr Droll is very knowledgeable and kind. She takes the time to answer all your questions and explain things without rushing through your appointment.

In 49 years the first doc to figure out what is wrong anxiously waiting to be repaired when things slow

Great experience! Doctor spent a lengthy time with me and addressed some issues that had not been addressed before. Took time out to explain procedure .

Dr. Bridges was attentive and professional. I felt heard and came away very satisfied.

He was very nice and patient with me. He explained everything perfectly. I was terrified of the shot in my foot but he did amazing! I would recommend him for sure!

Dr. Bridges and her support staff @ Gateway Foot and Ankle are kind, caring, and compassionate care providers.

Absolutely the best!! I look forward to any treatment he prescribeds!!

Great Experience. Easy and quick check in. Appointment on time. Didn’t feel rushed. Dr Smith spent time explaining diagnosis and course of action. Highly recommend.

Dr. Truscello is an excellent physician. He truly cares for all his patients. He is always respectful and always wanting the best for all of his patients. I highly recommend Dr. Truscello.

Always a great experience!

A pleasant surprise! I made this appointment because, as a diabetic, my primary care provider told me I had to have my feet checked once a year. Since I've lost fifty pounds and my diabetes was under control, I expected a quick uneventful appointment. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that my insurance now annually provides me with a free pair of diabetic shoes. I picked a stylish tennis shoe. Also, Dr. Palmer asked about my calluses. They were indeed painful but I didn't think they were associated with diabetes. It didn't matter. They were covered! Dr. Palmer explained that they were due to blocked sweat glands. He trimmed them and told me that if they bothered me again to return and he'd trim them again. He also informed me that I now qualified for three free custom inserts each year because of my callus issue! Sweet! Before I left, the nurse had me step into a box of soft material to get a molding of my feet! What I expected to be uneventful actually was quite beneficial! Dr. Palmer was cheerful, personable, energetic and quick! (The kind of doctor you WANT to have!) Thank you, Dr. Palmer! I'll be back next year!

Straight to the point.

He was very carying and his TLC for his patient, he hear and listen to his patient I am very impressed because her care and treat you like family. That was the first time that I seen him and was very happy and please I felt very good there he took his time. There are not enough word to describe Dr. Palmer your outstanding services and and caring for you patient.

Doctor was caring

Quick appointment, didn't have to wait long to be seen. Friendly staff.

I was extremely happy with the service that I received. Dr. Breitenbach took her time with my concerns and examination. I never felt ushed at anytime during my appointment like I have with other Doctors. She explained everything in detail and offered several options for treatment. I would recommend her to everyone. Awesome Doctor!!!

Wonderful, kind and considerate doctor.

Everyone was professional and pleasant. They were able to get me right in and taken care of.

Took time to explain my injury. Very informative and caring

Dr. Palmer is patient with me. We talk about church, God and my procedures, and he puts me at ease. I told him, “I trust God but I have confidence in him.” I have another procedure he will preform but I don’t have any worries. Dr. Palmer has been an excellent medical care professional since I first met him. Thank you Dr. Palmer and your staff.

Dr. Tori, is by far the best dr. I have ever had ! She performed my surgery on my foot and has taken care of me for quite a while now she explains everything I need to know,and answers every question I have until I understand everything I think she's the greatest

I loved Dr. Tori!! She was very informative about the steps she was taking during the procedure and did her absolute best to minimize pain. It was an awesome patient experience for me.

Greeted kindly. Cared for tenderly and quickly.

It was not painful. The service was really quick and they were nice.

Great experience

Dr. Palmer is a great, caring doctor who excels at what he does. Thank you for excellent bedside manners.

I’ve now been under the care of three different Podiatrist’s in the last five years or so. When I first saw Dr. Bridges she took immediate steps to care for me. Although I did lose a toe, I was in danger of losing my foot. If not for Dr. Bridges and the team of Doctors at Gateway, I very possibly could have lost my foot. I’ll never go anywhere else.

Great experience, very professional and listened to my concerns. My primary physician referred me and I’m grateful he did.

Dr. Palmer is very caring in his demeanor and in his care. He doesn't beat around the bush, he doesn't play Im the doctor listen to me or get out. No he meets you where you are at, doesn't sugar coat it, he is honest and gives very sound and strong recommendations in the care he provides. Very knowledgeable, humble and super nice. I can't recommend Dr. Palmer enough. God has Dr Palmer where He called him and he's doing a fantastic job. I sure am blessed God helped me find Dr. Palmer he's truly been a blessing to me with all my ailments and need for care. Thanks Dr. Palmer

She was kind and attentive. I appreciated her sharing with me when I should consider having surgery.

I really appreciated Dr T’s approach to care and his warm personality! Highly recommended!

This was my annual visit with a doctor in this office. First time with Doctor B. She was very personable and professional. I feel the exam was thorough, explained what she was doing and answered questions.

She is very thorough and listened makes me feel comfortable

Always a visit where the workers are pleasant and helpful. Thank you

Exceptional ability to explain all aspects of my foot problems. Dr. T also took the time to answer concerns I had after being seen by another provider. Thank you, Dr. T.

Great doctor!! had a great experience. The doctor was kind, explained everything clearly, and made me feel comfortable. Feet can be a sensitive topic, but he handled it with professionalism and care. I left feeling informed and at ease.

Dr. Palmer,his nurse and the office staff were friendly and helpful. He took very good care of my feet with no discomfort to me. ( And, I don't like anyone touching my feet!) He made sure I understood about any concerns I had and was professional with an excellent bedside manner. Thank you Dr. Palmer and staff. I will recommend you should anyone I know needs your services!

I would recommend him to anyone he is a great doctor. My husband is walking today after losing his toes thanks to him. The whole office is great.

Dr. Smith was amazing in the way. He explained everything to me so I could understand. I’m very appreciative of the way I was treated at your facility.

Dr. Palmer was patient, listened, cared about my feet, even wanted to help me by putting my socks on for me. He has a great bedside manner and the office staff we great too! I highly recommend Dr. Palmer and will be going back for help with my feet issues.

Great experience, Gateway Foot and Ankle center helped me out with getting the orthotics and shoes I needed to keep me mobile. I would recommend them and will continue to use them myself in the future.

Dr. Bridges is a caring professional and makes sure her patients are cared for at the highest level. She goes the extra mile to make sure she does everything that needs to be done for her patients.

Excellent. Feel I am in good hands.

Dr. Palmer was awesome. He listens to his patients. He also explains in detail what's happening and answers any questions.

Dr, Smith was very good. he explained everything to me

My procedure was quick and as painless as possible. It was exactly what I was expecting.

Good Doctor for anyone to have

Wonderful! She listened and was very helpful with my issues

Very nice and knowledgeable, she knew right away what was going on with my feet

Except for wait time everything was fine.

Well pleased with my visit.

Charles Roberts

I like very much, he know how to talk to a patient, and I like a Doctor like that, he set and listen to you.

Dr. Truscello is an excellent doctor. He takes his time to discuss your concerns and answers questions.

Satisfied

He’s always positive, friendly, and encouraging.

great

Addressed all my concerns

Very nice staff and provider. Very informative regarding my issue.

the Dr. was outstanding in every yay

Professional and educational

VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH DR. TRUSCELLO. HE EASILY REMOVED THE CALLUS THAT HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME FOR A LONG TIME. ALSO MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH HIM IN 3 MONTHS TO CHECK IF CALLUS RETURNS AND NEEDS REMOVAL AGAIN.

I felt Christina was very helpful and was able to explain the different avenues of approach and guided me to the best solution for me. She also offered PT and or steroids if she felt I was interested in that approach. I appreciated her expertise.

Thanks for your service

He listens to my concerns and he explains everything very well

It Was Very Nice!!!

First time patient. He gave me Great advice and explained everything he was goig to do. Thanks.

Very pleased with Dr. Bridges. She has a great personality and cares about her patients, addressing any concerns they might have.

Everyone staff, nurses, ma’s and doctor’s are excellent!!

Fantastic work! Cut out my ingrown toe nails quickly and I felt instant relief. Post procedure healing is going great!

I have seen 2 other providers for the same issue. After many years in pain I was referred to Dr. Truscello. He explained what was going on and the treatment plan gave me great relief. No more toe pain. Thank you Dr. T.

Thank You

He takes his time and explains things in a way that everyone can understand. He doesn’t rush, he listens and he’s not afraid to run the tests needed to find out exactly what’s going on instead guessing!

Quick and easy, doctor was friendly and professional!

Always helpful with foot issues. Wait time too long most of the time. I'll be happy when the office moves to new location.

As the foot doctor he’s great but the nurses do a better job of cutting the toe nails.

Caring and professional

She listens and cares how your doing. Very pleasant and friendly

Very prompt and personable. Made sure I understood all the courses of action that could be pursued.

The best, as always

Always have competent treatment. Very pleased with all personnel who have treated me through the years.

very good

He is awesome and really takes time to listen to his patients

Would highly recommend Dr.Smith.

She explained everything to me before she did anything Which help me relax

Simply wonderful visit, very caring and very thorough exam.

This is a doctor who listens, makes suggestions and acts!

I’m a new patient and was very pleased with my experience with Dr Palmer. This doctor is a great listener and genuinely cares about his patients. Most of all he greets you with a warm, wonderful personality and smile. I highly recommend him.

I would like to rate this experience with Bridges a zero. I waited over an hour. Her bedside manner and presentation was cold and condescending. It wasn’t worth the wait. I asked for my toenails to be trimmed and it was crudely and carelessly done. I have to pay to get them filed and even. I felt like she didn’t want to be bothered with me. Her attitude matched the appearance of the disgusting room with waste exposed in the garbage can. Please cancel my 11/15 appointment. I never want to return. I would like to know the results of the sample of my toe nail. We were packed in that little waiting room with no space between patients. Disgusting environment and provider.

Did not see him

It’s a wonderful place love my dr

Great dr very personable

Very good

I’ve been waiting since August 5, 2024 for a set of insoles. I and my insurance company have laid out a ton of money for my visits and so far, nothing has changed. The first time I questioned this, I was told that my PCP was holding it up. Just so happens that I had an appointment with him a few days later and when I told him that, he was infuriated. He showed me his computer dating back to August 1, 2024. The only entry from the foot care people was for a subsequent visit and he received it at 10am and filled it out and sent it back by 3pm the same day. On my most recent visit, I told the foot care staff that and they claimed that he didn’t take the time to read it thoroughly and filled it out incorrectly. She also said that the original order (8/5/2024 left her office on 10/11/2024?!?!). Over 2 months since the impressions were made. The 10/15 visit was for a trim of my toenails which left me with two nicked toes. Having said all this, I will say that Dr. Palmer is aces! I don’t envy his having to deal with the staff.

He was a pleasure to talk to and was very knowledgeable.

My experience was very pleasant, and it was not a long waiting time before I was seeing.

For a doctor visit it was pleasant.

This guy is great! He is knowledgeable and listens. That's a winning combination, too me...

Great service and quick didn't sit around waiting

He is always very nice

all I use Gateway for is nail trims through the VA I am always pleased with this service I receive Dr. Palmer took care of me and I appreciate that

Great job

Did not get to see Dr. Bridges after telling the assistant that cut my toenails I would like to talk to Bridges about the test she had me do for circulation in my legs? The assistant did a great job on my toenails and was very nice.

Great bed side manner.

Great

I didn't go the last time I was there I sit in the waiting room for over 2 hours while people were coming in after me and going right in. Waiting room was full and people waiting in the Hall

Great experience!!! Staff and doctor very friendly, knowledgeable and caring.

Great doctor, he listened to my problems and help me find a solution.

I was very pleased with my experience have been suffering with pain for two years, and Dr. Palmer took care of it right away

Always very professional friendly respectful and caring trustworthy

Excellent physician, knowledgeable,kind caring, listens to concerns and works collaboratively with patients.

She is very cut and dry with her treatment. She gets down to business and waste no time. I like that because I have a lot goi g on and need to not be I. A Dr. Office all day

I haven’t had my appointment yet it’s not tell the 22 August

I really had pleasant experiences there Everyone was very friendly And Dr. T is the best Only been there once But see him again tomorrow

Dr.Palmer was awesome thru the whole process. very professional and understanding. I highly recommend him to anyone with feet problems. Thank you

This was not my first time to see Dr. Smith. He is such a caring and personable doctor and listens to his patients. Even after several years, he still remembered who I was and my family. The procedure he performed on my foot was done quickly and the follow up went well. I would highly recommend Dr. Smith.

He knew exactly but I was talking about when I told him about the pain in the ball of my foot under my toes. He gave me the option of oral steroids or a shot, I chose the shot. I've been pain free ever since. Thank you Dr. T

I had been having awful foot pain to the point I could hardly stand to get up to walk. It had been going on for some time and I decided to go see a Dr. Got appoint and Dr palmer was so good and took his time checking out my foot. Turns out it wasn't even the foot causing problem but the side of my ankle. needless to say but I just about healed. I can get up out of bed or chair and put my foot all the way down like you should. I would highly recommend Gateway Foot & Ankle if you are having problems.

Dr Benjamín took his time explaining the problem Im having with toe nail as well as recommending the solution. Very sweet caring helpful team.

I like his attention to detail Johnny on the spot very good Doctor

I highly recommend Dr. Palmer because of his very caring attitude toward his patients. He is a well skilled and knowledgeable doctor.

Very thorough and informative.

Pleasent

Great Doctor

Dr Bridges is very knowledgeable and professional in her medical practice

Impressive

I went to Dr Bridges for toe nail fungus; she had me on meds for three months and now I can stop. I see a great improvement in my nails. She tells me the medicine will continue to work in my system for some time.

Excellent service.

Very attentive to my issues, and provided a plan to remedy. Very nice and considerate. Look forward to proceeding with treatment plan.

very easy comfotable and on time

Dr. Palmer is very professional in his demeanor but he is also very down to earth and explains things so that they are understandable. He listens to his patients and considers all possbile options for treatments.

Great Doctor which I have seen numerous times over the years.

Dr. T. is great! Knew exactly what the issue was and how to resolve it in a timely fashion.

Sympathetic to your needs and tries to provide a solution on your first visit.

Dr. Palmer was very concerning, friendly, and extremely helpful. I am so grateful to him. And I recommend him highly. Thank You!

The doctor was nice, however nothing was resolved with my foot issues. The 1st visit was ok, the second follow up visit was useless, they didn't seem to know why I was there. My foot still hurts

Very thorough and pleasant doctor.My husband has been seeing him for awhile now.Which is why I asked my primary care doctor to be referred to him.The Orthopedic practice just needs a bigger building.

so far staff & Dr. hAVE BEEN awesome very friendly concerned over my injury,Dr. has people skills bonds with patient, jokes not so tense in a visit I enjoy going to my visits not dread them.

Dr. Smith took exceptional time with my husband and I. He showed interest in us. We really appreciated that. We will return and recommend! Thank you Pat Cobb

Went through all the steps and detail felt at ease and comfortable

He’s brutally honest and direct, but I need that!

Dr T explained everything concerning my foot problem and what options we could considered to try to resolve my issue.

Did a great job explaining the upcoming surgery by going over xrays, foot anatomy and function, and having knowledge of medicine within the Army.

Went in for fungus problem. The doctor said would be better to remove the toenail. I been have trouble with it a long time. It’s pretty thick toenail, he gave me the option of remove the toenail and properly come thick again or he could kill the root and skin would grow over it. It’s been super sensitive for years, so I opted for the permanent removal. Since I am 73, going on 74. Now it’s healing and not sensitive like it used to be, and no fungus problem now

The appointment that I had was my first one. I think that everyone was professional, and I have every intention to follow up with Dr.Smith. He listened to my concerns and made me feel like he cares. I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of care. Thank you!

I had my first visit with Dr Bridges earlier this year and had to return after lab work was done. She was very professional and explained thoroughly what I was experiencing. There will be an opportunity to return for additional treatment and I have no qualms about doing so.

Dr.T. is always patient and understanding in all my concerns. He always answers all my questions and concerns. He is one of the best doctors I have.

It was a pleasant experience,

Dr Palmer he’s awesome

Dr Turscello was exceptional at diagnosing and explaining my heal spur issue. 2nd visit was even better as the guided steroid injection was excellent and almost no heal pain for 2 weeks now. I highly recommend Dr T

I’ve been coming here for about a year now, being treated by Dr. Palmer. I must say that he’s such a great Dr., and a person. He’s very professional, yet has a very humbling personality. He’s always treated me with respect and advised me of my issues , along with the pros and cons of his recommendations. He listens to me each and every time during my appointments with him, and has always gone over and beyond to assist me. He performed a surgery on me to correct another surgeon’s mishap from 17 years ago, which originated from an injury sustained while serving in the USMC. I actually recovered faster than expected, and the surgery was with minimal pain, which was a great thing! I would highly recommend him to anyone who asks; without hesitation.

Despite running late due to dealing with surgery patent. Dr T apologized and still had time for me. I understand his busy schedule and filled with the unexpected, he is still my favorite Dr. As a senior, he always makes me feel special. Thank you for all you do!

They were all so very nice to me and they treated me with respect and kindness. They are very a knowledgeable with EDS, which makes me very happy and definitely want to recommend them to anyone that I know that has it.

My wife and I have nails trimmed every 2 1/2 months, very satisfied with our experiences

I'm not a patient but my Dad is a Doctor Smith has always been professional and has always answered my questions and concerns about my dad.

Dr. Palmer is the best! He is very knowledgeable and kind. Great place!

Absolutely the best care possible.

Dr Truscello and staff are the best---they will do everything possible to help you solve your problem (s). Dr. Truscello is a no nonsense physician-you can believe what he tells you is upfront and truthful.

excellent

He was very caring and explained everything I asked about.

I had only one time a medical experience with DR. Smith and a toe trimming experience with his technician. Both experience were positive.

Excellent

The office staff was very pleasant and attentive. Dr. Palmer was very straight forward and explain treatment options in simple terms.

Great!!

The Assistances are very professional, the wait time is minimal and Dr. Bridges is very thorough in her exams and her explanations. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who's having ORTHO issues.

Excellent service and friendly staff

Dr Truscello very thorough and caring! Instrumental in saving my left foot!

Very great

Good experience…

Very professional and nice seems to know exactly what she is doing. Also a very good pa, love the group

Timely and informative

Excellent

Welcoming and speedy experience.

Dr. T is always thorough and listens to any questions I may have. Takes enough time to discuss any issues I may have.

Always have a great experience here.

Dr. Palmer is such an open, funny, straightforward, and friendly individual. During my first visit with him he heard me out and didn’t insult me unlike my last podiatrist did from Shuller. He seen the problem, listen to my complaints, found a solution, and welcomed my feedback. I really loved being apart of my treatment plan. He heard me out completely and didn’t try to downplay my concerns with his degree. I respect Dr. Palmer whole heartedly and will continue y respect him and this practice. This is the only podiatrist that I would ever see here in Clarksville!!

Friendly atmosphere! Dr. Bridges answers all my questions and is always willing to take as much time as needed. The only issue is the crowded waiting room and tight corridors.

Dr. Bridges and her team are true professionals that go beyond the scope of their duties.

I feel that aDr Palmer is a very good Dr and very nice. I feel that he takes good care of me

Good experience. She took good care off me. Explained everything she wanted to do.

First time there. It was good

Both the staff and Dr. Palmer's professionalism, and dedication was/is great. With a full case load, making sure each patient is treated as individuals was clearly a priority. This positive attitude is not always present in other medical offices.

It was good.

Really liked Dr. Bridges. Very informative & took time to answer my questions. I would recommend anyone who’s looking for a good foot/ankle doctor to consider seeing her.

very caring

Everyone was very friendly yet professional.

Dr. Bridges did a minor outpatient surgery on my son which went extremely well. Within a couple days following prescribed treatment the area is healing nicely and and shows much improvement. I would recommend Christina Bridges, DPM to anyone I'm the future. Sincerely.

The hest of the best

Ok

All went well

Pleasant

Please with treatment I received

Dr. Palmer and his staff are wonderful. They are extremely helpful, accommodating with my schedule and easy to work with. Dr. Palmer renders great care in a friendly compassionate manner. You couldn’t ask for a better provider.

The staff and the doctor were very compassionate and professional I came with one issue and they were able to help me with another medical concern that I had for a long time that wasn't relevant to what I really came there for.

Great at explaining questions I had. Exceptionally helpful and informative. I enjoyed my visit with him.

X

Excellent , very good visit, Phil

Dr. Palmer doesn't just care about his patients. He gets to know them. I wouldn't trust anyone else to care for my needs.

Very thorough exam identifying my exact problems with my feet and plan of action to help me reduce or eliminate my pain. Very clear communication and courteous demeanor!

The best foot Dr I've had yet

Very thorough and discussed treatments available.

Very professional and personal staff. Short wait time. Dr Bridges is the best !!!

Reasonable wait time, friendly staff, knowledgeable doctor. That’s a winning combination.

Efficient, professional, and timely

Was excellent in treating my foot & now have no pain in walking.

The staff was friendly. Dr Bridges listened to my concerns and educated me on other services that may be available to my care.
