Dr. Hielala cuts to the chase! He doesn’t waste your time with half fixes. I have seen him over many years, and I’ve never been disappointed. I’ve sent relatives & friends to him. Everyone is more than happy with his diagnosis and treatments.

Dr. Jetter doesn’t keep patients waiting. He explained why a callous on the bottom of my foot will need frequent care & ways to treat it myself. He & his staff are helpful, friendly, & efficient.
