    I came in with pain on my left heel & explained it as a lump on my heel & discolored tie nail. Dr Barton shaved the callous off my heel said he couldn't do anything else for it. He also prescribed something for my toe nail that worked wonders. I continued having pain on my heel so I went back after my 3 month checkup. He examined it again & told me I had Plantar Fasciitis...sold me a pair of $40 insoles then scheduled me to return in 2 weeks. My insurance rates him as a specialist so each time I visit this office it cost me $40. My concern is why didn't he diagnose my pain on the 1st visit since Plantar Fasciitis isn't a rare diagnosis to detect. I don't want to think all the return visits he's scheduling is for the money.

    Yes, no, I was not impressed with him at all. He didn't even suggest when he told me I probably had arthritis in my foot, he didn't even suggest Tylenol for arthritis, which I came home and discovered myself and took and it helped quite a bit. I was not impressed with him at all, nor would I ever return to him.

But nobody judged me for it, and they were incredibly patient in leading me. I felt emotionally secure in their care. When I was with my doctor, he seen me in a timely manner and was an absolute joy to speak with. He answered all of my questions and was thorough in his examination. I'm grateful for the heel wedges they provided me with. When I go to my follow-up appointment, I'm going to go in confidently knowing I will receive the best care.

    Hello, this is [PHI]. I think my main issue was I have plantar fasciitis, and for the last decade, I have had cortisone injections into my plantar fasciitis twice a year. You can clearly see on my care plan that that's what I do to help with it. I have extremely flat feet. I wear orthotics, the expensive New Balances, all of that stuff. I had spoken with your staff because I had a high deductible to make sure and even know what these costs before I came. And they had everything figured out for me. And then the doctor would not give me the shots. Again, like my feet are extremely flat, lots of issues. I just got my healthcare and that

    I think Dr Barton should work on the way he communicates with patients. He came off a little dismissive of the discomfort I expressed. I was having weakness in my foot and the way explained that my problem was not my foot but dealing with another issue felt dismissive. I understood after a bit what he meant but telling someone their not feeling something makes it seem you don't believe their problem whether or not my foot is the issue of the weakness that's where I'm feeling the weakness regardless whether that's not where the problem is stemming from.
