Dr Mahoney is wonderful. My feet are difficult to treat due to a neurological condition. I have been seeing her for years. She always is so kind, so thorough and so helpful with every issue that comes up. Her assistant that I met today was very nice as well! Thank you very much Dr Mahoney!

Most recent visit with Dr Mahoney was on 9/15/25 about an ingrown toenail. My visits with her have always been excellent. She explains everything about the treatment and I always leave feeling much better. Other issues she’s helped me with are the bunions I had on both feet. Gone with outgoing surgery. So happy I met her & consider her my Podiatrist.

I chose Dr. Mahoney based on a friend recommendation. She’s extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and caring offering opinions when I asked. Telling me, my callous issues weren’t as severe as I thought and treating them appropriately. Definitely felt like she understood. Will make future appointments with her. Wait time from checking in to seeing her was less than 15 minutes. Her medical assistant was also very nice.
