Review from Amanda M.

I just got a Groupon in my inbox for Ankle N Foot centers and upon my arrival to the deal page, I see that Yelpers have awarded less than 3 stars. Now I use Yelp a lot, a whole lot... but I'm not a big reviewer unless an establishment really makes an impression. Ankle N Foot deserves such a better rating & I felt compelled to let people know, lest they hobble off in another direction due to these sad stars.
Now a summer ago, I had a drink or 5 too many and took a little spill. My foot was grotesque and huge, and frozen corn wasn't helping. Ankle N Foot was the closest non-emergency room food doctor I could find, and after 3 days of hopping around I gave in. I recall being able to get in right away and saw Dr. Zats. I loved her friendly demeanor right away, as she had a laugh at my story and at my wishful thinking that maybe it was just a twisted ankle.
Turns out that I had a Jones fracture (well actually a few fractures) in my 5th metatarsal. The bone had a bone to pick with me apparently, and did not heal on it's own after it got a vacation from walking for a couple weeks. Dr. Zats decided I needed to get screwed. She scheduled the surgery and did the procedure herself at an outside hospital.
All healed quickly and perfectly! A year later I'm at the gym 5 days a week with my screw scar, and the bone is as good as the day before the SoCo stumble.
Let me note that I only visited the Belmont location and had no trouble with insurance, or any receptionists, or scheduling... go see Dr. Zats!!! -

I work out alot and depend on healthy "footwork"as I do Martial Arts. When I hurt my foot and googled Podiatrists this place came up. Fist off I dislike going to any Dr or having any limitations put on me. It seems they always give you the "Bums Rush"
and its on to the next patient.
From when I walked in the door the staff was professional, I didn't wait too long, ....and got in to see Dr. Zats. After the initial exam and subsequent x-ray it was determined I had a fracture! The Doc showed me on the X-Ray and it was a spiral fracture which is evidently a bit more complicated in healing.
I got the walking boot and 2 weeks of RX of ultra sound / elec stim. I have to be honest and admit.... I didn't stay off my foot like I was directed otherwise the healing would of been faster. It has now been 6 months or so and my foot is completely healed..... I would say that for any foot ailment I will gladly return to this place as Dr. Zats and the staff that did the RX seemed sincere and appeared to care about my condition. -

Don't go here.
After twisting my ankle pretty badly I found this place on Yelp and set up an appointment. In order to try to keep costs down, I emailed the receptionist my insurance information and asked how much my visit (basic check up to assess and ankle damage/ injury) would cost me out of pocket. I was told that my cost would be nothing and that my insurance would cover it all. Dr. Zats was really nice and while she couldn't determine the cause of my ankle injury, she recommended that I purchase some orthotic insoles. AGAIN, being conscious of cost, I asked her how much they would be. She said that IF my insurance didn't cover them (it was a big IF) that they would cost me $45 out of pocket. I agreed to take them with me. So, this means that my visit should have cost me a maximum of $45, assuming that my insurance didn't cover the cost of the insoles.
Fast forward to one month later- I get a bill for $350+ which includes my visit and $85 for my orthotic insoles. When I called to complain I was basically told (by the same receptionist who I told me that my visit would be covered by my insurance) that what she MEANT to say was that any costs incurred within my visit could be counted toward my deductible. After a long back and forth with the clinic and the Better Business Bureau my bill was brought down to $155. This is still $110 more than I had agreed to, so I feel ripped off.
Do yourself a favor- skip this place.Comment from George T. of Ankle N Foot Centers 12/6/2011

I have to say Dr. Zats is awesome! She does not make you feel like an airhead and she explains everything in detail, which I love. So extra brownie points for her!
Basically a YouSwoop coupon came along and I just had to buy it. The deal was great and I thought hell why not; I get a podiatric exam, x-rays, and 65% off orthotics. So I should do it! My feet always hurt and somethings gotta give. I've had a lot of foot pain after my accident and thought this would be a perfect stop to a lot of pain. I tried the ugly "healthy" shoes and the gym shoes and special excises but nothing helped so Dr. Zats was my last resort.
So now I've been to see Dr. Zats three times and things are great. I was a bit disappointed with the staff there at first. My first appointment was supposed to be at the West Loop office at 7 in the morning and I get there on time and its down pouring outside and I wait and I wait and I knock on the door and still wait. Then finally at 8 the lady lets me in and says' "Oh Dr. Zats does not work at this office today. Your appointment is for the Belmont office. Here's the number there." So I call there all pissed off cause I had to wake up extra early and get stupidly soaked in the rain. The lady there says, "Oh we're sorry lets reschedule you." Boy, I was pissed off.
Anyways, I finally got a new appointment, saw the doctor, and she turned out to be the nicest and most helpful doctor ever. I just could not be mad anymore. She carefully listened to all my foot problems, helped me understand (in detail, with pictures and stuff) what happened to my feet after my accident and what I needed to do to help my feet from all the pain. I've gone to her a few times now and the pain in my feet has gone down a lot. We even created the custom orthotics for me to wear everyday so the pain would go down after time. She was cool enough you order me a pair of orthotics that I can wear with my dress shoes and gym shoes.
I would totally recommend Dr. Zats to my friends and family. Just make sure you double check where your appointment is. They do have 3 locations and the doctor is at a different location everyday. -

Confession time.
I had an affair.
I started seeing another podiatrist. It wasn't planned, it sort of just happened; I blame it on YouSwoop.
When a YouSwoop came along for a podiatric exam, x-rays and 65% off orthotics, I jumped on it. Several months ago I went to a different podiatrist because of some foot pain, but since then I joined a running group. The increased mileage was creating soreness in places I didn't know existed and left me wanting a second set of orthotics. Getting up at 4:30 AM on Saturdays to run isn't fun, running all over the house at the ass-crack of dawn trying to find the shoes I left my orthotics in sucks.
I was a bit disappointed by my first interaction with Ankle-N-Foot. I had traded e-mails with someone who promised to call me and confirm an appointment time, but never did. When I called in for an appointment and noted I would also like to do a video gait analysis (VGA) a service highlighted on their website, knowing I'd have to pay extra. I felt like I was strongly discouraged from it; in the end I didn't get it and it wasn't a big deal, but if you're looking for VGA I might go somewhere else.
My appointment with Dr. Zats went wonderfully; she and her staff are extremely friendly. We started out with a basic exam and decided that it would be best for Dr. Zats to make everyday orthotics for me and to use my existing pair for running. She gave me several options, and recommended the best liner for my sweaty feet. She also said she could make this pair even more versatile than my current pair, awesome! Dr. Zats also gave me some tips on what type of running shoe I need, my current ones, when worn with orthotics, are overcompensating for my flat feet, which may be the source of some of my soreness and pain.
After the exam, I did the digital imaging for the orthotics. I've had several pairs of custom orthotics, but this is the first set that didn't involve casting. I liked it, my feet are so ticklish that it's hard for me to sit still while during the casting process. All I had to do was walk across a mat a few times and it scanned my feet and displaying where I was applying various degrees of pressure and to what extent.
My new orthotics are great and as promised they fit into even more dress and work shoes than my other pair. Will I leave my other podiatrist for Ankle-N-Foot? I'm not sure, at this point I don't have to choose, but I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Zats and staff.
TIP: If you're a runner, bring your running shoes in for your exam. When your orthotics come in bring one or two pairs of shoes you expect to wear them in so they can check the fit.Listed in: What's the dealio?!, Aw crap, I'm bleeding!

Review from Scott C.

I went to see Dr. Zats for foot pain I was suffering while running. One of the reasons I selected the Ankle N Foot Center is that they had a history of treaing runners and triathletes. When I arrived Dr. Zats took the time to understand how the injury occurred and my past history of any foot or ankle issues I had experienced while running.
My injury was diagnosed as paroneal tendonits in my left foot and I was prescribed treatments of ultrasound and electric-stimulus therapy for 3 weeks (8 treatments) and light running. They were able to easily accommodate early appointments or late so it didn't interfere with my work schedule. I was also fitted for orthotics - using an modern tools and not a plaster casting - it was simple and quick to do.
Based on my treatment and orthotics, I ran my 4th marathon in May and haven't had any recurring issues with my foot! -

I have to first say Dr. Zats is awesome. However her office staff sucks. Plain and simple. They sell you custom orthotics. They are fabulous.. don't get me wrong. They'll PROMISE you your insurance will pay for them. They'll order them Charge you $100 to "fit them in your shoe." and in the end you will get a bill for $500 for these things. The billing clerk will NEVER return your phone calls or emails. It will go to collection and then you will have it on your credit report. This happened to me as well as my friend who referred me there. It is very sad, because the Dr. herself is awesome. She offers great care and service. She just needs a better office staff that actually wants to do their job.

YouSwoopers BEWARE: I bought a YouSwoop, went to the downtown location and a month later I was sent a $75 bill (which had been run against my health insurance company too, without my knowledge or permission). Never did the doctor or anyone in the office let me know that this was beyond what was covered in the YouSwoop, despite my asking moments before. I called to inquire about the bill and they agreed to reduced the charge for the mishap, but did not waive it. This tainted an otherwise pleasant experience. Think twice before YouSwooping here, I would have used my insurance and gone in-network. And beware of a health care provider who is not forthcoming and transparent in its billing.
