The Dr i great. If he could just figure out a way to make cortisone shots to both big toes less painful.☺️ Dr Gleason is great. Has a great sense of humor (afterall, he's not getting shots)

I love Dr Gleason & many of his constituents I have used. I really hate to see Dr. Gleason go, but he deserves retirement he has Dr me for 25 years I know. He’s fantastic. I really appreciate the me.

Dr.Clark did my second surgery to take out the metal cages and screws from the initial as they were causing my foot to stay infected. Surgery was a success and infection is on the way out. Dr. Clark did a phenomenol job and I would recommend him to anyone.

Excellent bedside manner. On the first visit, he just pops my crusty foot in his lap and starts peeling away the callus that forms from my foot being deformed. He did a handful of charitible gestures that I won't get into here. I still have a lot of healing to do, but my toes are in line and I think I will be very happy once all has healed. He's funny and it's clear that he cares. BTW I have never left a review until now.

Switched to Dr Gleason after less than happy experience elsewhere. My wife and I trust him implicitly.

Is a wonderful delightful physician. From the first moment we met, he put my mind at ease. He’s personable, relatable and he has a sense of humor. I’m so happy I was referred to him.

I have seen Dr. Gleason twice and both times he corrected my symptoms. He is a delightful person who makes you feel like you are his only patient. I am so happy that he took care of me.

After five weeks of being in a boot and being told I needed to do 3 more weeks and then see what to do from there including surgery from the first doctor I saw, I sought a second opinion. He told me to get rid of the boot and walk and that my fracture is more like an ankle sprain and that I was getting stiff from wearing a boot for so long. No more hopping on crutches which is a feat at 73 yr. old. He even took my boot off, looked at my foot and checked my range of motion that the first doctor did not. He was kind and funny and I can’t tell you how happy I am that I went!

Professional and friendly team. Knowledgeable. Dr. Gleason was highly recommended by 2 friends and he did not disappoint. He asked lots of questions and talked me through the process. Treatment is working. I’m bringing my teenager back for ankle treatment.
