Dr Tom's Foot & Ankle

Dr. Tom's Foot and Ankle was created in 2014 with the vision of providing to patients an unfortunately long forgotten concept at the core of Medicine - being that you as a patient matter. At the core of our business we understand that YOU are not a number, an insurance card, or burden to the Medical Industry. We here at Dr. Tom's understand that an... d strive to remind both of us that in every visit. Medicine has always been a secretive business with your doctor being the gatekeeper of knowledge you need. That secrecy forged an implied trust between you and your doctor that they would keep you safe and do what is best for you regardless of conditions. Unfortunately over the last decades, those decisions have been removed from your doctor and the trust that goes along with it is evaporating as well. We here at Dr. Tom's seek to restore that trust. We ask you to actively participate in your decisions to make yourself better. In many areas over the years Medicine has become big business, whether out of financial necessity or simply in response to such a fast paced world, and we all have felt its impact. As patients, we seem to have been forgotten in the rush for efficiency. We often feel that our doctor, though possibly through no fault of their own, may no longer have the time to spend with their clients; and yes, we are all clients of sorts, as in any business. As a result, we need to remember to be treated with respect. Our time has value. We are all paying for a service, and whether through an Insurer or personally, we need to demand someone listens.Read More
