I have been to other Podiatrist & Dr. Berthelsen is by far the best one. His professionalism, knowledge,bedside manners, time spent with you, & the procedure that he performed, I could not ask for a better doctor. Thank you Dr. Berthelsen
“BEST PODIATRIST”

I have been to other podiatrists. After meeting Dr. Berthelsen I think those other guys should retire. My appointment was like One-Stop shopping. I did not need to go somewhere else for x-rays nor any other procedures. He was very thorough with his examination. His diagnosis and explanation of the x-rays convinced me he’s very knowledgeable, understood the problem and how to fix it. As soon as I can take the time off I'll be having him do the surgery on my bunions and hammertoe.
“This guy is really good!”

I had an emergency...I called around and everyone couldn't get me in for weeks or even a month. They fit me in same day or next day. They try to leave blocks open each day so they can see emergency patients. skip everyone else and call them
