    “Dr Leo was fantastic in helping my daughter who had 2 ingrown toenails. She is a student at FSU and had to get back to Tallahassee on a Monday, by late afternoon, and was in serious pain for the past few months with an unsuccessful surgery up at FSU. The office staff was friendly, fun […]

    “Dr. Todd Brennan and the entire staff at Healthy Feet Podiatry are the best! They were able to get me an appointment the same day I called, processed my insurance and most importantly tended to my foot issue. Dr. Brennan personally called to check on me later in the afternoon that day to fully explain […]

    “I could not have asked for better care! After nearly a year and a half of nobody being able to help me with a Hemangioma in my foot, Dr Cruz stepped up to the challenge.

The staff is very friendly and went above and beyond making sure everything was good with insurance. Upon arrival, everyone made my daughter and myself feel very comfortable as she was […]

    “Healthy Feet Podiatry has a friendly and caring office staff and Dr. Todd Brennan is GREAT. Due to my insurance, I was unable to use the same Dr. as my husband. As I didn’t like the care he was getting, that was OK. I get fast appointments and “my Doctor is on-time for them”! I […]

    “Very rarely do you go to any physician and get immediate relief. I was in extreme pain yesterday and I feel 100% better today. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Bret Brennan and the support staff. I had never been there before and I felt like they were generally happy to see me […]
