This is Carlton Young contacting you for Marjorie Young, patient of Dr Tlapek. We are canceling appointments with the Dr. because your parking lot lacks adequate accommodations for disabled patients and their disabled helpers. The parking lot is sloped away from the sidewalk. The parking lanes are too small resulting in the lack of distance between cars needed for the full-swing opening of auto doors. Patients accessing the side walk must step over the cement block located at the head of each parking space, and step up to ac... read more

I have been seeing Dr. Tlapek for about a year. After being diagnosed, I was encouraged to purchase custom inserts. However, after wearing these inserts, my foot problem has not improved. I recently saw Dr. Tlapek and voiced my concerns to her about my current situation. She was very condescending and did not believe me when I said that my problem had not improved. I had also had a couple of cortisone shots in my foot and I am still in pain. I am very disappointed that my concerns were not heard, or believed, for that matter... read more

First time to a podiatrist. Toenail broke and got infected. Donna was fantastic scheduling me in and then getting me settled after check in. Dr Tlapek was very thorough at explaining what she was going to do. She knew just about every trick in the book to keep your mind off of the procedure. Very caring. Very knowledgeable. Not sure how I could have had a better experience.

Tlapek was dismissive & patronizing about my bad fungal infection (? of toe gone). Shamed me about treating OTC. Said I should “save up” for her $1000 laser treatment - she won't guarantee just 1 treatment is effective. Evasive; gave incomplete & misleading information about OTC & prescription options. Discouraged ordering lab test to determine if fungal. (req. by ins for Jublia). This worked: Tolfonate, Butenafine Hydrochoride, + CVS Liquid Bandage to cover skin where nail was missing.

Really disappointed in my overall experience here. First, there was always at least a 35 minute wait time every appointment with no apology or explanation from anyone. She could also be a bit condescending especially when I'd ask for clarification about something I didn't understand. I had an ingrown toenail removed here, and I have since seen another podiatrist who pointed out she cut it crooked.
