I'm 55 and on my feet a lot at work. I've never been to a podiatrist until today. Dr. Vallone quickly diagnosed my issues and carefully explained to me what was causing my heel pain. With a five pronged approach (cortisone shot, meds, orthotics, night brace & rest) I'm confident I'll be back on my feet in no time.....no pun intended!
Dr. Vallone, his medical staff and front office were all very courteous and professional. I'll be recommending them to anyone I meet with foot or ankle problems. Thank you!

I had an appointment to have orthotics made by Dr Vallone as I have been wearing the same pair since 1993. I found Dr Vallone to be patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He took care to examine my feet and make recommendations for how I can prevent future problems and to make sure we are making the right choice of which orthotics to have made. I only wish I'd come in to his office sooner.

I have been having foot issues for over a year. Today I went to Podiatrist Dr Vallone in Poway and he did a terrific job. He was knowledgeable and took the time to explain what was going on. In addition, he offered ways to alleviate the pain and prevent future issues. Highly recommended.

I am shocked by the good reviews for this doctor. If I could give 0 stars, I would. Don't walk, run away from this doctor. Due to Dr. Vallone's negligence and substandard care I have permanent damage to my toe tendon which may cause issues and pain later on. I just finished my third corrective foot surgery because of Dr. Vallone's mistakes.

One year ago, I had a bunionectomy done by Dr. Vallone, which has turned into a nightmare. A week after my first procedure the surgical screw that was placed in my foot by Dr. Vallone came loose. This was extremely painful, I was unable to put

Great experience from scheduling over the phone with Kay to the actual visit with Dr. Vallone and his staff.
Everyone in his office is friendly, professional and thorough.
A special thank you to Kay for scheduling me in quickly to deal with my plantar fasciitis issue, I'm truly grateful.
Dr. Vallone injected a steroid in my left foot/heal to help with the stabbing pain, and the injection itself felt like a very slight bee sting and ever since, my foot has been feeling great!
Thank you Dr. Vallone.... I promise to stop wearing my flip flops!

I am so happy with my bunion removal surgery and all of the interaction with Dr. Vallone and his staff! I'm super nervous about any type of surgery and he was very patient and explained everything. Anytime I had a question or needed to see him, I was able to get an answer right away. I would highly recommend Dr. Vallone for any of your foot needs!

Don't believe all the 5 Star comments that you read, that's what got me into Valone's office. I had the worst experience ever. I went in for ingrown toe nail issue that wasn't as bad as it became. A real nightmare, I wish I would've never left my real Podiatrist, Dr. Benjamin Cullen @ San Diego Podiatry Group. Now, he's a real foot doctor.

**It's been 2 years now since my foot surgeries. I am walking without pain. Sometimes if I'm on my feet too much my toes will ache a bit but i was told this is to be expected with the severe toe problems i had. But i can walk without the pain i had before the surgeries, which was literally excruciating. It feels so good to not be constantly thinking about foot pain. Very liberating. Dr. Vallone is the BEST foot dr out there. It took me a full year for the pain to completely go away. I know most people only take 3-6 months but mine took longer so don't be discouraged if you're

Dr Vallone is an expert and very patient with an great bedside manner. He never talks down to you but responds to my questions even when nervously I ask him the same thing over again. I had 2 bunion surgeries within 3 years.

Dr. Vallone removed my rear heel spur (Haglund's deformity). This required disconnecting and reconnecting my Achilles tendon. He was so patient explaining the procedure and recovery, always fully answering all of my numerous questions.

I most highly recommend him...he is a very good surgeon who is VERY available for his patients.

Dr. Vallone is a great surgeon! I had a bunionectomy back in the 80's which was the most painful surgery I've ever had! I must admit I was apprehensive when I scheduled surgery with Dr Vallone. He reassured me everything would be ok. He redid my bunionectomy using his unique technique. I've had virtually no pain! I received exceptional, personal care from him and his staff. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Vallone! He's so personable and caring. You can't ask for a better doctor! My results are exceptional! A++++++++

I had a bunionectomy done a couple months ago. Dr. Vallone was my second opinion and he made me feel way more comfortable than the first doctor. The first doctor wanted me to pre-consent to a contingency plan if things looked different after he got in there. That sounded sketchy and, frankly, "salesy" to me. Dr. Vallone said he knew exactly what was going on and was going to do the next best thing to a joint replacement which sounded fantastic to me. It has healed as planned and feels WAY better. Although I haven't gone yet, he cleared me for snowboarding on time. He was very

My daughter just had her final exam, after Dr Vallone performed a bunionectomy on both feet, and she couldn't be happier! She was able to get both done, 7 weeks apart and now is amazed how much better her feet look and feel. Dr Vallone's calm and caring nature completely removed my daughter's apprehension, since this was her first surgery. By the second procedure, they were like old friends. I received calls from his personal cell phone, asking how she was doing, and even responded to texts from her concerned Dad. Dr Vallone and his staff (Kay and Debbie) are a rare find in

Dr. Valone has been my Podiatrist for about 10 years. He (and his office) are exceptional in the medical profession! And Dr. Valone himself, has such vast knowledge about every ailment one could have (today I mentioned a very rare neurological disease i just was diagnosed with, and immediately he knew multiple important issues regarding it ... absolutely amazing as others seem to not know it, or very very little!).
He is the BEST!!! I will regret saying this as it will make his schedule busy next time i need an appointment, however i must say ... if you need an exceptional, knowledgeable, experienced

I am relatively new to the San Diego area and have been struggling with a bad foot for several years - combination of bunions and stress fractures. I am a nurse and it had gotten so bad that I couldn't even wear my clogs anymore, much less run, hike or do anything on foot. I finally started looking for a podiatrist to discuss treatment options. I found Dr. Vallone on Yelp and it's true, I looked no more!!!

I loved the small office, Kay is very sweet and made me feel comfortable about my appointment. Dr. Vallone told me that surgery was my best option and walked me through the whole

Very nice staff, including doctor. Dr. Vallone took his time explaining how jacked I was lol jk! No he was great, and I called around to many offices for a consultation and he was half the price, and you would have not even noticed. I am coming back and would recommend him to anyone that's looking for a podiatrist.
