In April of 2020, I went to a Dr. in Centennial complaining about intermittent foot pain. He dismissed me stating there was nothing wrong. By June the pain was severe. So I went to Dr. Mechanik. I remember he helped my Dad a long time ago. Turned out I had 4 Metatarsal stress fractures and 1 Fibular fracture. His wife (Nancy) who is an RN took the X-Rays, She is extremely pleasant and very soothing to speak with. Dr. Mechanik explains everything in detail. He does no sugar coat anything. I respect him for that! He also does not make any snap decisions. I was placed in a Fracture Walker. I almost needed a Cast or Surgery, due to my own fault of overuse. With that being said, I was lucky. He takes the patient's symptoms into careful consideration first. He recommended Physical Therapy after I was healed. Worked great as far as building back muscle strength. Thank you Dr. for giving me back my Mobility!! Thank you Nancy for your kindness! Love the Patient Portal as well!

Dr. Mechanik was asked great questions and then explained the best possible procedure with the best outcome. I'd be happy to recommend him to someone else.

I was so impressed with Dr. Mechanik that I've already referred two other people to see him. He is very knowledgeable and takes a "less is more approach." He has a clear plan for the recovery and improvement of my feet issues and spends the time talking to me to make sure I understand my diagnosis and the game plan for recovery. He shares the consultation notes with you (electronic through myHealthspot) and I found the access to our discussion so helpful when I was home talking to my husband about my issues with my feet. He's friendly and wants to make sure you feel comfortable about everything that was discussed during the appointment. I never feel rushed when I am there.

Dr. Mechanik was patient and informative with my pre-teen son who was reluctant to have anything done to a painful ingrown toenail. Dr. Mechanik handled it swiftly the day of our first appointment, removing the ingrown toenail, which was able to heal quickly according to the predicted schedule. We appreciate the patience, understanding and great manner that Dr. Mechanik exhibited, which really helped my son through a painful situation.

Not sure how they claim to be a foot institute when they can't explain you what's covered and what's not and keep sending bills for no reason. I visited thrice and on my third visit, they billed me twice i.e. one for consultation (where the doctor didn't do a thing other than taking impression) and later they charged bill for taking impression. So, i ended up paying my copay and the bill for taking impressions. When i called, they said they both are two different things and terminated my visit to the doctor. Discuss way ahead of what's covered and what's not with these guys as they seem to be all money minded.

Outstanding bedside manner, kind, friendly, and compassionate. He is very personable and is committed to making you feel better. He is also just genuinely a good human being. I would recommend him to anyone with any foot related issues. He took care of my chronic, painful ingrown toenails and I feel like my quality of life has improved.

I have been a patient of Dr. Mechanik for over 3 years. He is wonderful to work with. I had a torn plantar fascia and her repaired it with a stem cell patch. My foot has never felt better! The office staff is so nice!

Very knowledgeable and willing to take time to explain conditions and solutions. Suggested several alternatives to surgery which was refreshing. Listens well and heard my concerns. Great experience.

INCREDIBLE DOCTOR!! Dr. Mechanik is the best doctor I have ever seen. He was truly interested in getting to know me and about my condition. I had been to 5 other foot specialist before him. He immediately knew what I had, which none of the other doctors even mentioned. After three years in pain, he fixed me. He is the smartest and kindest doctor I have ever had. Hands down Best Foot and Ankle Doc in Colorado and the USA. If you have a foot or ankle problem, Dr. Mechanik is who you need!

Good doctor but needs to explain details about surgery. My foot and ankle were in pain for over 6 months. Went to see another doctor and realized that the surgery was not done properly. Had another surgery and now I feel great. The lady at front desk over charged twice. I feel it's all about the money not the quality. She seamed fake friendly. I felt uncomfortable around her. I'm surprised they have that many 5 stars. Back in the day doctors took pride in thier profession. Done early in 2017.

Satisfaction survey....I'll start out by saying this team is not only proficient in patient care but by far the most caring medical staff my family has ever encountered. No one wishes that they need the care of a podiatric surgeon but if you have issues with your feet....this is the team you want.

Dr. Mechanik was very engaged and spent a lot of time talking about my options. I went thinking (as I was told by 3 other doctors) that I needed surgery. We talked about less aggressive options (i.e. orthotics) as a first approach rather than surgery. I very much appreciated this approach. He even jury rigged a temporary "orthotic" that has been working WONDERS and can't wait for the permanent inserts. Dr. Mechanik really puts his patients FIRST!!!

Dr Mechanik is excellent! I have been plagued with ingrown toe nails since I was a teenager, previous attempts by other Dr’s left me with ragged nails and painful regrowths. Dr Mechanik has removed two badly ingrown nails with little pain and fast recovery. Previous removals had been painful and messy, not so here. Don’t put of getting those annoying painful ingrown removed once and for all!

I've gotten such great care. My foot surgery went exceptionally well; Dr. Mechanik knew exactly how to repair my foot. He was very knowlegable and confident about the procedure that needed to be done. He and his staff are so compassionate and caring. They pay attention to every detail, explaining what to expect post-op, pain management and home care instructions. The experience was amazing.

Hands down (or feet down!) the best doctor I think I've ever seen. He truly listens and is always in a great mood. He's patient with you and is always cheery! He clearly knows what he's talking about and never rushed into anything. He is willing to go the extra mile for this patients and I really cannot say enough nice things about him. Seriously, he's your guy.

I'm from Pennsylvania and traveled to area ending up with a ingrown toenail. Same day appointment. I experienced excellent staff and care. Highly unlikely that I would need their services again, but they treated me like I was a regular customer. Excellent service. Thank you
