Dr. Sullivan did my lapiplasty surgery in June and I couldn't be happier. Scheduling appointments is easy and he returned an after hours/weekend emergency call from me within minutes. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Surgery was not pushed - I went in knowing exactly what I wanted - and I plan on doing my other foot soon. Highly recommend!

Been my podiatrist over 20 years. Nobody else I’d trust my feet to! Has helped me deal with large and small issues in the same patient, practical and thorough manner. The staff is wonderful, without exception. Recommend highly.

I welcome this opportunity to express my appreciation for the care and treatment provided for me by Dr. Sullivan and his fine staff. I had been suffering with two ingrown toenails and arrived at the office with lots of anxiety. Upon meeting Dr. Sullivan, I found him to be professional, patient and friendly. He listened to my concerns, clearly answered my questions and explained his procedure. At the end of my visit I was able to walk out of the office without the pain I had originally. My follow-up appointments went very well. I cannot thank Dr. Sullivan and his wonderful staff enough for relief

Good Doctor due to the fact he helped me initially. He quickly identified the problem and offered solutions and explanation. I was not impressed with my follow up visit though. I think the staff should be educated to not jump to a one way fix so fast. One of the nurses informed me I had to wear insoles for the rest of my life because I am now old and more prone to injuries (I am in early 30s and healthy). It may be so, but what about loosing excess weight, physical therapy, stretching, you name it. I wander what they tell people in their 50s? At the end of my visit, the Doctor kept talking about

So thankful for Dr Sullivan! I've never been to a podiatrist before and I was extremely nervous walking in.. not knowing what to expect. But I was immediately put at ease by the friendly staff and Dr Sullivan. My foot pain has already decreased and I'm finally experiencing some relief.

Dr. Sullivan is an excellent podiatrist. He performed successful surgery on my husband several years ago. He performed surgery on the great toe of my right foot 5 years ago and I didn’t hesitate to return with a similar problem with my left foot. I am now 3 months post surgery, I’m confident he has resolved my issue.
I highly recommend him, he is most competent and pleasant to deal with.

Dr. Sullivan tried to treat my plantar fasciitis for a year, with no success. He gave me pills and a brace and some exercises, but no improvement. I was in pain every step. After an MRI, he thought I should consider surgery. I didn't want surgery so I asked for a physical therapy referral. After three months of intense physical therapy, I am now pain free and getting back into running. Dr. Sullivan let me go a year without even suggesting PT. Had I not asked, I might be recovering from an unnecessary surgery right now!
Review update 2017: he has now refused to treat a toe sprain because of this

Hi My name is Chris, I'm roughly in my late 20s and I recently had an ingrown toenail that was in need of getting cut out. I honstely didn't know where to begin looking for a specialist. like anyone else I went to google and saw the ratings, reviews, and the stars that all speak for themselves for Dr. Sullivan's office. It is a comforting and very well organized facility. His staff is down to earlth and very conforting in explaining the steps both pre and post check in and out. Dr. Sullivan did remove my in grown toenail and I was nervous but I did not feel a thing. Anyone who has an ingrown toe

I recently had my first appointment with Dr. Sullivan for a broken/dislocated toe, after first Googling Podiatrists in Virginia Beach. Based on very positive reviews, I scheduled my appointment. His staff was very responsive and courteous, and the office environment well managed and clean. After spending the initial few minutes with Dr. Sullivan, I quickly realized he is very experienced, caring, and thorough. Following my X-ray, he came back in and spent 15 additional minutes explaining my options, and reviewing with myself and my wife the best path to take. I felt very comfortable with all of

I have recently visited Dr. Sullivan’s office for an ingrown toenail that has been troubling me for quite some time. Before visiting this office, I have received services from another podiatrist and the ingrown toenail continued to grow incorrectly. However, after my first visit my nail has grown properly. Dr. Sullivan was incredibly careful and kind and I appreciated the fact that the doctor treated my ingrown toenail on my initial visit and did not require me to come back for the procedure which saved me my copay and travel expenses. The office staff was exceedingly professional, kind, and
