Dr. Michaels is by far the best foot & ankle professional there is as far as I am concerned. You can be confident that he is the one who can and will fix whatever is wrong with your feet. His staff are very professional and pleasant. It’s nice to see smiling faces in this facility. When you leave this facility, you will know you had the best of care.

Everybody there was extraordinary nice and personable. The doctor himself took very caring approach that show that he cared about the whole person. What I like the best about him is that he is not surgery happy has multiple routes that he can take to resolve many of the symptoms of foot problems. He takes a natural approach.

This is the third podiatrist I've seen in Hagerstown, and hands down is the best. He listened to my concerns determined to my situation was less serious than what I expected and didn't try to sell me hundreds of dollars worth of equipment to treat symptoms for a problem that was easily managed in one visit. Thank you

Let me start by saying the staff other than the Dr. are absolutely great. The front desk and assistants are all nice and helpful. However...
Dr. Michaels is condescending, rude, treated me like I was stupid, barely let me talk, talked more about how great Hoka shoes were than saying anything helpful, and said I had weak ankles which is why one was swollen. He proceeded to sell me ankle braces and charged insurance $1500 for seeing me for 10 minutes, in which he touched my foot ONCE.
Then, I had molds done for custom orthotic inserts. After never hearing back from the office for almost two months, I called and was informed they hadn't sent them out as I would have to pay out of pocket $450 as insurance would not cover them as I had not reached my deductible!
Needless to say, I will not be returning to this office, and do not recommend Dr. Michaels - but I do like his staff, just wished they worked for a better person!

Dr. Michaels is phenomenal. I wish I could assign him as my primary care physician. He’s very thorough, knowledgeable, proficient, and has great bedside manners. Jackie, Angel, Candy, and Chloe are just the best office team. Their work culture makes you feel at home. Very good energy. Most importantly, my ankle is better than ever under their care. I’ve got a new attitude! Thank you so much!

I do not recommend Dr. Michaels. He did not discuss my x-rays or treatment during my visit. His primary focus was on selling me insoles and vitamins. It’s not the place to go if you’re serious about recovering from an injury.

Absolutely great foot care for my daughter from Dr. Michaels and his staff. I especially like that he and his staff explain the diagnosis in detail that a patient can understand and Dr. Michaels looks first for non-drug related resolutions that will provide long term relief.

The Dr and associates were so nice. Had only one treatment and can already feel the difference. Can't wait to see how good I'll feel at the end of 5 treatment. Even though insurance doesn't cover the cost it is well worth the reasonable cost.

I was very happy to avoid unnecessary surgery. Dr. Michaels has been treating my husband for over a year, but this was my first appointment. He took care of my toe
and explained everything to me. He is an excellent doctor and a very caring person. His staff is very helpful and professional.
