Dr. Cottom is perfect! Technically expert, plus kind and soothing.
8 years today with the STAR! Checked in last year for a follow-up with great results! Thank you Dr Cotton 3/13/2012-3/13/2020
I think I got the short stick. I was told if I couldn’t ware my orthotics i would be given half my money back. Well I can’t ware them and after several calls my call were never returned Then they stopped answering the phone. I feel I was not treated right. I hope he needed that $250. Real bad

The orthotics were way too hard. They said they would soften them. When I came back for the softened ones they had complexly different softer orthotics. The problem was they were so high that I could not get my feet into any of my shoes. …

Thank you Dr.Wolf for the excellent care and compassion you gave my 90 yr old father today.He was very happy to have his nails taken care of after way too long.The entire staff was very friendly and efficient.
They are so quick and thorough! Very nice staff.
I rarely leave bad reviews. Especially one star. But this place is a borderline scam. They push stem cell treatment (out of pocket) and try to scare you into expensive untested and ineffective treatments. Go talk to a couple other orthopedics. They will all tell you that this place is not medical. It’s sales pure and simple.
I have no complaints so far! I had an Achilles ruptured repair there a month ago, great service, friendly staff, I m feeling very good after only a month, I know I have a long road ahead, but I can already say the doctor did an awesome job. I wish I could have given them 10 stars.💪💪💪🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️ …
I was referred to Dr. Cottom by another physician. Amazing!! Can’t thank Dr. Cottom and his office for helping me to be able to walk again without pain.

Dr. Cottom and Dr. Graney are excellent. I feel very fortunate to have found them. I came down from Northern Wisconsin hoping they would take my case. I needed a subtalar fusion, and was willing to travel just about anywhere to find the …
Very happy with Dr Cottom and his staff. I had major surgery to repair my tibia and fibula around the ankle, and a few ligaments. They are an amazing practice and always follow up. I highly recommend them.
Dr. Cottom scoped my ankle and gave me a stem cell injection. The entire process from the initial visit to post op visits could not be more professional. I have arthritis in my ankle and want to alleviate some pain I have when hiking. Dr. …

I am a new man thanks to Dr. James Cottom.
After visiting with several podiatrists, I went with Dr. Cottom because he took …
James Cottom is a great DR. He has operated on my two Achilles Tendons and now they are better than originally. He educates the patient and lays out the options available, including success and recovery periods. He and his staff follow up well on the wellness of the patient. I recommend Dr. Cottom completely.

Dr. Wolf was prompt, courteous, knowledgeable and made my visit pleasant. Only one caveat: he recommended I use a product they could provide, but at a price more than 400% higher than the same formula available at Walmart under a …
I enjoyed my first visit to Florida orthopedic. Everyone was professional and courteous. Dr Cottom esp laid himself very well.
My first experience with Dr. Cottom was 3 years ago when he treated me for tears in both my Achilles. He fitted me with casts to wear to reduce the chances of doing further damage. He has kept me playing senior softball year round. I …
I can’t thank Dr. Cottom and Dr. Wolf enough. 7 years ago, I ruptured my left Achilles tendon while in Physical Therapy school. This past July, I ruptured my right one. I was instantly in tears. Not because of the pain, but because I knew …
Doctor Wolf was great. He listened to me and provided me with a path to resolving my foot pain. I have already recommended him to a friend of mine who has similar issues.
