Patients consistently praise Dr. John Andrew Childs for his kindness, thoroughness, and excellent communication skills. They appreciate his ability to diagnose and resolve foot issues effectively, as well as his attentive and friendly staff, which contributes to a positive overall experience. However, some negative feedback arises from extended waiting times and instances where patients felt their concerns were not fully addressed or that they were not given adequate time to speak. Despite occasional communication lapses, many patients highly recommend Dr. Childs for his professional and comprehensive care.

Dr.Childs and his team are fantastic. He explains the process very well and is very detailed in explaining everything. I was pleased with my service and he has a great P.A. that works along side of him.

I saw Dr Childs 3 years ago when he diagnosed my feet with plantar fasciitis. I could barely walk but he got me walking again and fast. Once again, Dr Childs quickly diagnosed a puzzling issue with my toes. He’s a good listener and cares about helping you live the best life you can.

Dr. Childs and his associate (dr in training, young guy?) Were amazing. To the point, No sugar coating, told me how it was and what they could do. Multiple options with explanations. They get 5 stars … I sat in the waiting room for 66 minutes, not 22 … the nurse that finally came and got me was also amazing. Whoever didn’t communicate that I was ready gets 2 stars … everyone else 5 stars! Front desk guy was friendly and helpful as well.

Dr Childs was very easy going with my young son, totally put him at ease. It was like visiting with a (very smart) friend who was providing advice and guidance. Would definitely recommend!
