Dr Ernesto has been wonderful in helping our family with my mother's diabetic ulcer, my husband's morning heel pain, my own hammertoe surgery, and our children's ingrown toenails and plantar warts. We trust Dr Ernesto. Immediate and lasting pain relief with an injection that takes one minute to work as opposed to several hours with colchicine or indomethacin.

If you don't feel heat radiating from a red, swollen joint, you are not having an acute gout attack. Because of the morbidity and mortality associated with septic arthritis, the possibility of an infected joint, as opposed to an acute gout attack, must be ruled out. Foods rich in purines such as liver, heart, and kidney meats; as well as pecans, avocados, beer and wine increase serum uric acid.
Don't spend all day at the emergency room or Quick Care clinic only to have an "assistant" try to treat your excruciating heel pain with a prescription for over the counter advil and an appointment to see their hip surgeon in 3 weeks. The arch supports the Doctor will bring to you are much more supportive and durable than those that you can buy at Walmart, Walgreens, or REI.
Have the toe fixed right the first time, and never worry about it for the rest of your life. Following the procedure you will need to elevate your foot for one hour, and apply an ice pack for 15 minutes. Return to your normal shoes and normal activities one hour after this relative painless procedure.
Most of the urgent care foot procedures by the Appointment Today Podiatrist are $280, and includes everything.

Good service, I just had confusion with scheduling appointments, so that could be a little more clear. He should be more exact with a show up time. For example instead of an appointment between 1-5 maybe having a specific time with a tighter frame. Like between 4 and 5. Other than that, he does a good job

Fantastic!
He was super nice and professional, waited till my toe was completely numb before he started his procedure and left a couple things for me to bandaid my toe while it heals. And he gave me very clear introductions on how to go about my toe on day to day basis, I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know that has a bad ingrown toenail!

We were staying at the Venetian and I had a terrible ingrown toenail that was killing our vacation plans. My husband was so disappointed. We had tickets for a helicopter ride in the afternoon and a Cirque show that night. Dr Louk came to our hotel and removed the ingrown toenail, and brought antibiotic pills, ice pack, and sterile supplies for dressing changes tomorrow. It was a one stop shop without leaving my hotel room and took less than 20 minutes. After an hour of elevating the foot on two pillows, we were on the way to the helicopter shuttle bus. Get your toes fixed before your vacation;

I was in Las Vegas for the SEMA Show and had a terrible gout attack in my foot. I called Dr Louk at 2 in the morning and he answered the phone himself and was at my Bellagio room about 30 minutes later. He numbed my foot, which gave immediate pain relief. He then took a joint fluid sample and injected the joint with a medicine and gave me 15 colchicine pills, which I usually travel with, but forgot this trip. Dr Louk called me the next morning to confirm that he saw uric acid crystals in the joint fluid on his microscope at his office, so I definitely had a gout attack and will follow up with a

I work on my feet all day as a nurse. I spent over $700 at the GoodFeet Store and those things just hurt my feet and back. My co-workers told me about Dr Louk. He came to my hospital and took plaster impressions of my feet and made custom molded foot orthotics that have made a tremendous difference in my life. They are guaranteed for life against breakage or malformation. All this for $280.

I was staying at the Luxor when my toe turned dark purple with yellow pus coming out from under the toenail. I googled to find a Podiatrist close to the strip and found Dr Louk is right on the strip and will come to my hotel. I was afraid I had waited too long to have this looked at, but Dr Louk assured me that he's seen much worse and this was an easy fix. Dr Louk brought everything with him: sterile instruments, antibiotic pills, ice pack, and gauze and self adhesive wrap for tomorrow. Dr Louk told me to keep the foot elevated for one hour, but as soon as he left I went back down to the black

I was staying at the Mirage in Las Vegas for a convention. I had to be on my feet all day at the convention center and came down with a terrible case of plantar fasciitis. I found Dr Louk at Appointment Today Podiatrist by searching "heel pain" on google. He came to my hotel and diagnosed my foot problem, gave me a cortisone injection, taped my foot, gave me a heel cup, arch supports, and 60 Naprosyn tablets, and showed me some stretching exercises to do. The pain relief was almost instant and I was able to finish 2 more days on the convention floor. When I returned home there was a pink and white

I had an ingrown nail last year 2017.. I tried all sorts of things on my own to fix it with no luck. I looked around and found Dr. Louk. He came to my house explained everything before he got started. Heck he even responded to my texts when I asked questions. He is very polite, professional and price is good. He fixed me up right away. Thanks Dr. Louk... Would recommend him to anyone that might have an ingrown toenail issue.
