Patient Testimonials

Dr. Marcus Mittelsteadt saved my ankle and is now treating my crabby foot and toes.
He has one of the best bedside manners I’ve ever experienced from a surgeon. Every time I see him, he treats me as a friend, not a stranger or just a patient.
I feel as though he’s truly invested in his patients. Two thumbs up!!

I highly recommend Dr. Marcus Mittelsteadt for anyone needing foot surgery. He is an experienced, knowledgeable, and efficient physician. I saw a few doctors for my foot, and I could not be happier with Dr. Mittelsteadt. I wish everyone could have him who needs it. He and his team are also kind and personable. Thank You!

Dr. William Engasser performed surgery on my right foot and did a great job!
I no longer have pain from arthritis and can go out and walk my dog without pain.
His staff is really great too. They all took good care of me. What a great doctor and staff!

Thank you!

Dr. Christopher Traynor, thank you so much for the excellent care. It was amazing to feel listened to and reassured in such a stressful situation.

Just six weeks after breaking my ankle, I took part in the Ultimate Ninja Athlete Competition and did great! No pain or issues at all.

We appreciate your expertise and bedside manner. We highly recommend your practice.

I have seen Dr. Troy Vargas for 15+ years, and he has done more surgeries on my feet and ankles than I care to count. Because of him, I am still able to walk. I have stuck with Dr. Vargas and have never looked for another physician. Why would you when you have the best? Thank you, Dr. Vargas.

I rolled my ankle many times in high school and college. From then on, I could sprain my ankle just by looking at it. By the time I hit 49, I could barely walk. It felt like I had a cheese grater on my foot constantly. Dr. Troy Vargas recommended surgery to figure out what was going on because he really couldn’t see anything on the X-rays or MRIs. Once he got into my ankle, it was apparent why he couldn’t see what was wrong with the tendons, because there weren’t any. They were so damaged they had disintegrated. He proceeded to repair my ankle and replace the non-existent tendons. Several years later, I still have not had a follow-up injury to that ankle, which is a miracle because I am less than graceful! Thank you, Dr. Vargas.

I had ankle replacement surgery with Dr. William Engasser back in February, and I couldn’t be happier! I broke my ankle 20+ years ago and over time, my joint had deteriorated to total bone-on-bone. I had severe pain anytime I stood, much less walked. That pain is now gone, and I am slowly getting back to the many activities I was forced to give up. Most importantly, I was able to dance at my son’s wedding two weeks ago! Dr. Engasser always took the time to answer my questions and address my fears. I never felt rushed during appointments. His enthusiasm gave me the confidence to go through with this procedure, and he never made a promise that he didn’t keep. I highly recommend Dr. Engasser and his team.

Dr. Dwivedi repaired my broken ankle. He was professional and caring. The surgery has allowed me to return to walking the world. He explained all the steps in the healing process and what to expect along the way.

Dr. Engasser has performed a couple of surgeries on me now. His warm personality and confidence put any concerns I had about my procedure at ease. He has certainly corrected my feet to the point where I’m leading a full life again. I trust him to give me the truth and perform the care to the highest degree possible.

5 stars for Dr. Engasser! He has outstanding bedside manner, which is not easy to find with surgeons! He takes his time, listens well, and creates a confidence boosting doctor/patient team, even when he has to refer me to other physicians as needed. I have had two unrelated foot and ankle surgeries with Dr. Engasser and have been very satisfied with his expertise and my recoveries. I highly recommend Dr. Engasser.
