Dr. Richardson is compassionate and professional. I've broken my foot, and the whole time I felt we are on the same team. He doesn't talk down to you and explains everything clearly, and works to have the best data, even if it means getting one more xray or MRI, so he can make the best, most informed decision.

I broke my anke in 3 places pretty severly. I was fortunate enough to have Dr. Mechan on duty or called to see me in the ER. He suspected that I had broken it in more than 2 places and did an MRI to make sure. I had a spiral fracture and 2 other bones were fractured as well. Because of the severity of the breaks he had to be creative in how he put my ankle back together and he did a wonderful job. I ended up with a plate and screws after surgery. He was very open to all of my questions, has a wonderful bedside manner and very detailed in his description of what he did to repair my ankle and what my recovery would look like. My ankle has healed so well which I attribute to his expert knowledge and experience.

Best doctor ever! After 8 months with a severe leg infection, in and out hospitals in Maui, Hawaii, Banner Baywood, Mesa, Rehab, PCP office, Wound Care Specialist, and Home Health Care, nothing was working, During this time, no correct diagnosis nor successful treatment was made. Their solution was load me up with different antibiotics and see if any works. My leg remained swollen and red. Dr. Mecham was the only Doctor who actually knew the name of my condition and treated it correctly (without antibiotics). Three weeks later, it is just about normal. After all I have been through these 8 months, I am very thankful to Dr. Mecham.

Dr. Mecham was the only doctor who correctly diagnosed my leg condition correctly. My leg became swollen and infected over 8 months ago in Maui, Hawaii. I spent one week in Maui Memorial Hospital, then two weeks in Banner Baywood, over three weeks in Desert Blossom, Home health care, emergency room visits. PCP visits, Wound Care at Banner Baywood,etc. During these months, my leg remained very swollen, red, with severe inflammation. The standard practice was giving me several different antibiotics to see if any of these would work. Given way too many antibiotics over this 8 month period. No one knew what the diagnosis was, just a "guess" or "could be" was their answer. Finally, made an appointment with Dr. Mecham. He examined me, asked questions, and actually told me the name of the condition I had. After his first treatment, (no antibiotics) the swelling and redness decreased substantially. My leg is normal size now after 3 weeks of Dr. Mecham's care.

He is professional, caring and communicates and explains things

I am so happy to have seen Dr. Wilde and his staff! They are caring and professional, and really listened to my concerns, and how my injury has affected me. He asked about my pain, checked my vital signs, and replaced my existing cast put on yesterday by another podiatrist who was rude—-as that cast was too loose and doing nothing for my fractures. He is a wonderful doctor and human being!! I will happily tell everyone to go see him!

I had a fantastic experience and outcome when I had Achilles tendon surgery. After meeting Dr. Mecham I was at complete comfort with my upcoming surgery. Dr. Mecham is very friendly, in tune with your needs and meticulous. Recommend him very strongly.

Excellent doctor, and a better man that cares for his patients. I’m leaving Advanced Foot & Ankle since Dr Wilde left.!

Dr. Wilde came to the hospital as a referral from another Dr. We were so pleased with his attitude towards working with us to heal the sores on my foot. He encouraged us to call any time we were in need of his services. Every visit to his office has been a pleasant experience. Dr. Wilde is always willing to consult with our other Drs. to make sure that we are getting the best care. He is caring, courteous and does everything he can to keep my foot health. GREAT DR.

screens extra time to understand issues and have a great bedside manner

He is an excellent, thorough doctor with a great bedside manor.

Dr. Mecham is a very personable and upbeat doctor. Would highly recommend him.

Caring and very informative about plan of care. Never hurries the patient.
