Excellent service
I highly recommend him! I went to him for burning and stabbing foot pain. It has improved 80% in just a month. I follow his treatment rigorously and the results are evident. Very clean and modern office with comfortable furniture and friendly staff.
His office is immaculate and the doctor is amazing! I'm seen on time and the nurses are very friendly. Never any issues getting in touch with billing. Highly recommend him!
Great experience all around. Very nice doctor and staff. I highly recommend him for any heel pain you might be having! Very knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
Dr. Petkov and staff make you feel welcome. They definitely show they care about their patients. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone who has foot problems or concerns.
This doctor is truly as good as they get. Easy to schedule an appointment even though he seems very busy. Wait no longer than 10 minutes. Friendly front desk staff. Financial policy was explained to me clearly which I GREATLY appreciate. The doctor did not rush me but took his time and shared his expertise in as much detail as possible. 5 star experience all around.
Title: You will not be disappointed with Dr. Petkov.
As a new patient I must say that I had an exceptional experience with Dr. Petkov and his fantastic staff, especially Sarah. I admired Sarah’s remarkable attitude and pleasant spirit. Dr. Petkov did an amazing job answering my questions and explaining all the details to me and was very knowledgeable about the issues I am having with my feet and how to provide me with the best care. I know I have found the right podiatrist for me. Thank God!!! Looking forward to my next visit. Book your appointment today, you will definitely get some help for your podiatry concerns. I cannot refrain from persuading others about the care I have received- Premier Podiatry will be known amongst my family, co-worker and friends. +
He removed my ingrown toenail on the spot without any hassle. Both the doctor and his assistant were super friendly and took amazing care of me. Highly recommend!
Premier Podiatry is one of the best medical practices I have ever visited. I had severe heel pain, which I was trying to cure with self help at home. It wasn't getting better so I had to find a podiatrist for help with the pain. I didn't have to wait for an appointment and I got immediate help for my heel pain/heel spur/plantar fasciitis. Dr. Petkov and his entire staff are very professional, expert in their field, very knowledgable, efficient, yet at the same time friendly, caring, make you feel welcome, and this practice is family friendly.
excellent experience!!! i can't praise this office enough. the staff was so so pleasant. i was in a lot of pain and they were able to give me an appointment the same day i called. i was immensely grateful. dr. Velimir Petkov was amiable, kind, and personable. he and his staff took care of my pain right away. i am so happy i found this office. #Godsent
Very thorough and detailed. He was eager to help me. I could also tell that the people who work for him like working there. Everyone was very nice and helpful. From the person who picked up the phone to the guy at the front and his nurse. Very highly recommend him!
Great podiatry office! I thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Petkov's approach. He goes over everything down to your x-rays and explains what is causing your foot pain. I was presented with treatment options and my questions were answered. His assistant Kiara is very knowledgeable and gentle. The ladies at the front desk were cheerful and efficient with checking me in and out. I highly recommend them!
I had an ingrown toenail which I ignored until it got infected. It was super painful and swollen. I could barely walk while I was at work. The doctor's schedule was completely full when I called. Luckily for me, his assistant offered for them to stay after regular hours of operation and see me. I was desperate so I took her upon that offer. And I am so glad I did! If you, like me, are looking for a competent foot doctor - look no further. Dr. Petkov went above and beyond for me. My procedure and both follow up visits went really well. He is great at explaining things and very skilled as a surgeon. I hope I don't get another ingrown toenail. But if I ever do, I know where I'll be going.
Dr. Petkov and his staff are the kindest most caring healthcare professionals. My husband and I go for routine care and always feel welcome in their office. There is never any wait. The atmosphere is wonderful. And the doctor is gentle. He always talks to us and remembers things we have discussed previously. I am not good with Internet technologies and had to ask my granddaughter to help me write this review. Thank you, dr. and Premier girls.
I have had nothing but positive experiences in his Clifton office. His receptionist is very patient and always ready to help. The assistants always make me feel comfortable. Dr. Petkov is hands down the best podiatrist I've been to over the past 20 years. I went to him with chronic heel pain. His treatment schedule has worked very well for me thus far. He is honest and caring. The staff's service is next level. Many thanks!
Dr. Petkov's treatment for my foot pain has been excellent so far. He is compassionate, down-to-earth, and sets realistic expectations. I have seen great improvements in my pain since I started seeing him. He even called me right back on his only day off. The insoles he made for me are beyond comfortable. I look forward to my next appointment.
I recently had my first visit with Dr. Petkov for a 2nd opinion and was very impressed with all aspects of the practice. The doctor was very detailed and honest. I’m feeling better thanks to the great team.
This review is way overdue. 10 months ago I finished a course of laser therapy for toenail fungus in Dr. Petkov's Clifton office. I followed his instructions, disposed of old shoes, took the recommended supplements, and the results are fantastic! It took my toenails some time to grow out but consistency and patience paid off in the end. As a side note - I'm a neat freak. One of the first thing I noticed about his office was how meticulously clean it was.
