Dr. Helfrey is highly recommended for foot and ankle issues. My husband and I have both had phenomenal experiences from start to finish. His care made us feel we were in safe hands. Quality, personality, empathetic. I wouldn't recommend another.

It took 3 years and finally the right doctor to help me with my ankle pain! Dr. Helfrey and staff are awesome! He is worth the wait, he will explain everything in a manner you will understand. If you leave his office confused, you should blame yourself, because he does not rush you, he really cares about his patients.

I love Dr. Helfrey. He recently did surgery on my foot. Although he is an Orthopedic surgeon, he specializes in foot problems and is very good at what he does and explains things in a way that you can understand. I highly recommend him.
