My boyfriend sustained a bad injury to his ankle, I called Central Coast Foot and Ankle Specialists and they were so accommodating in getting us in right away to see a provider. Dr Larson is the absolute best doctor, he spent 45 minutes with us doing an exam, X-rays and throughly explaining the diagnosis and treatment options. Any concern we had after that appointment we always received a return call from his medical assistant the same day. I can't say enough wonderful things about Dr Larson and the entire staff!

My doctor gave me a referral to Dr. Chatigny. I called to schedule an appointment, but it was a Monday and the office was closed. I called Tuesday and had to leave a message. Wednesday I received a call back to schedule an appointment. I gave them all of my personal and insurance information, and explained that I could hardly walk because I was in so much pain. Then the receptionist told me that she could schedule for the middle of November. What???!! Why not return my call and let me know that they are scheduling for November and do I still want to make an appointment? If you are scheduling for

Doctor Larson is one of the best surgeons around the Central Coast. I came in with a really bad break to where my pinky toe broke completely off of my foot and I blew my ankle out. So much so that it was hanging by a thread. Dr. Larson was so amazing and professional that I felt very comfortable and trusted him right away. He Explained everything step-by-step, very good bedside manner, and was very confident in what he does. Everything went better then I expected. Y post op recovery was exactly like he said it would be. He was also available at any time I needed to call or get information, he returned

Excellent, quick, professional service. Had a corn removed, and the doctor explained very well preventative steps in the future, reason for the corn development, and advised that surgery is a last resort (I liked that and it showed they were not wanting to promote unnecessary procedures for financial gain). I literally danced out of that office with joy of having the pain relieved! They also handled COVID protection very seriously and professionally.

I have had nothing but a great experience with Dr. Chatigny and the team! I broke my foot in the middle of July. Broke it by dancing... which is embarrassing in itself but makes for a great story. I consider myself quite active and I have never broken a bone, so I was really nervous about this whole situation. Erin May was incredibly helpful and friendly. Walked me step by step what she was doing and why. Dr. Chatigny is an intelligent and upbeat person. After consultation, had surgery 5 days later. The surgery was very smooth. Scar is healed and was a very clean cut. The staff always stayed in

Dr. Chatigny is an excellent doctor! She saw me after I had four surgeries and was still having major issues with walking and pain. She was able to diagnose me and schedule surgery. She had to replace my tendon with a cadaver tendon. She did an excellent job on my surgery. I am now completely healed and feeling so much better! ! I will always be grateful to Dr. Julie Chatigny! She is an incredible doctor! Dr. Chatigny has a wonderful bedside manner and as well is extremely knowledgeable and professional. Dr. Chatigny is the very best in our area! I have never had any problems making my appointment

While I think Dr. Julie is a very good doc her office staff was very rude when I arrived 10 minutes late. I was standing behind a gentleman checking in and she evidently didn't see me. I have been driving from SLO to see her for years and will not any more. There seems to be no considerations of the time I have spent waiting on her.

I arrived 10 minutes late to an appointment. Sometimes the traffic from SLO to Templeton can be unpredictable. When I arrived there was an elderly gentleman the receptionist was checking in for what appeared to be the first time in the office. She was taking his picture, he was signing papers, giving insurance cards, etc. I was standing so long she told me to sit down. When he finished and I went to the window her first response was "your appointment was at 1:45." I acknowledged I was 10 minutes late, exactly, as I had looked at my GPS and time as soon as I pulled up in the

I Liked Dr Richards, the associate, who has mysteriously moved on sadly. Strange, since they are newish here in No County as he was the only good thing I could say about Chatigny's office. BTW I actually never met her not once. Calling for an appointment is a comedy but not a fun one. They have some new fangled answering machine which plays a non stop repetitive awful abrasive gong in your ears forever and then you have to leave a message to talk to a receptionist who calls back in 2 or more days; at least that was my experience.
I woke up last month with an excruciating pain in my foot

I needed surgery on my ankle and the procedure was rather involved. I took the time to interview several surgeons both in the north county area and also as far away as the Bay Area. When I met Dr. Chatigny I knew I'd found my surgeon. I was very impressed with her qualifications and her grasp of the issues I was facing but the thing that really won me over was her pre-operative approach. She made sure I was informed, answering every question I could think of and then going further by informing me about what to expect through all phases of the procedure and on into the recovery. And then there is

I was a new patient coming to my first appointment. I asked their location receptionist said on the other side of Hospital so I assumed in was the complex on the east side. I looked at the addresses and noticed their address was not any where around so i punched in my GPS and showed it was in the down across from the post office. I am from Cambria and I don't know my way around that area that good. I called them and they were not even in the office yet. I was their first appt. Left a message saying I got lost and that I was real close that was 8 mins before the 10 minute rule. I explained

I needed to have a difficult surgery performed on my ankle. I interviewed several surgeons from San Francisco to SLO, and I chose Dr. Julie Chatigny at Central Coast Foot and Ankle Specialists. Dr. Chatigny was very good at explaining all the issues and challenges associated with my particular condition, and she took the time to answer all my questions. When it came time to schedule the operation she was very flexible and accommodating, rescheduling the date for me a couple of times to accommodate my work schedule and also to allow me to attend my son's wedding while still on two feet.

I made an appointment, they said that they would email me the new patient paperwork. I called two weeks before my appointment, they said they would email me the paperwork. The day of the appointment I went in early to pick up the paperwork that they said they emailed me. They told me see you at 3:30, I had put down to be there at 2:45 on my calendar. I showed up at 3:15 to be ahead of schedule. They told me that they have a 10 minute late rule. I was confused. I waited for Lucy to come back before I found out my appointment was at 3:00. They told me I had to reschedule. I understand the importance
