Celebration Foot & Ankle - Winter Garden's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Schmidt always brings me comfort, even when I'm in pain. It's been just over two years since my first visit. The staff is consistently warm and welcoming. My surgical experience for an injury was flawless, and each subsequent visit has been equally positive. They are responsive, provide timely appointments, and offer exceptional service. Dr. Schmidt's genuine care always shines through, and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else for my foot and ankle needs. Two locations for convenience - Celebration and Winter Garden, FL

It’s good

Finally went to have my foot looked at, should of done it a month ago 🤦‍♂️. Dr. Schmidt and the office staff were great. In and out in an hour. She took care of my issue and just a very nice person.

I had ankle surgery 3/28/23. McRorie had me bedridden for 2 weeks with a splint and 4 weeks with a cast. Then kneewalker & boot for another 4 weeks with PT. Old school IDIOT. Went to Dr. Gideon Lewis who has patients walking in sneakers after 2 weeks. So upset about the torture I went through. Would not recommend my dog to him!!! A big fail of a doctor. Get with the times Dr. McCorie!! 10 weeks of my life I can never get back. Think his approach is to keep bringing you back for more dang surgeries. Stay very very far away from this doc - using this loosely. Sarah his MA is the BEST - feel bad that McCorie is a torturous physician.

5 Stars for Dr. Tootle. 3 Stars for the front office staff. I had a couple of planters warts on one of my feet. After attempting to do the Dr. Scholls home treatments and after my wife giving me enough grief, I decided to go see a specialist. So I log in to my insurance provider to check for a doctor in my network. Once I found Dr. Tootle I decided to call my insurance company to confirm he was indeed in-network and to ask how much my treatment should cost. My insurance company told me I would only need to pay my copay. So with that information, I procced to call and make an appointment. It took a couple of days and about four phone calls to make an appointment. I would follow the prompts and it would ring, then when someone answered I informed them I wanted to make an appointment. On numerous occasions, I sat on hold for 5 minutes. I decided I was going to make one final attempt, but this time when I called and was told to hold I said no. Informed them I was going to be a new patient that if they wanted a new patient to please make me an appointment and not continue to put me on hold. So needless to say an appointment was made. Whoever I was talking to was very nice, she answered my questions and advised me to go online and complete the new patient paperwork. Appointment day arrives. I gave myself plenty of time or so I thought. Parking is a major problem here, now I completely understand this is not their problem, yet it is simply because this is a medical complex that has a hospital and other institutions here, but they should alert new patients on the phone about the parking. After parking on the top floor of the garage and nearly in the last spot available, I walked in at exactly the time of my appointment. They collect my paperwork and asked for my payment. When she told me the amount it seemed off and higher than expected. I paid it anyway and waited for my turn to be seen by Dr. Tootle. The gentleman who can in before the doctor was very nice and helped to ease my mind. I had informed him I had a wart about ten years ago and it was removed and that the process was painful and I can remember it like it was yesterday. He told me not to worry and that Dr. Tootle would take excellent care of me. He was right!!! Dr. Tootle came in, introduced himself to me. He then got right to it to see what was going on. He treated me and told me exactly what to expect and what I needed to do. He gave me my paperwork and informed me to check out, out front. WHen I haded over the paperwork I was told it would be an additional seventy something dollars. I told her this didn't make any sense and that I had already called my insurance company to go over the costs. She said they must have done something wrong when quoting me. So I paid the extra money and was on my way. I called my insurance company and was told I was charged too much. The insurance company called the office and took care of it. The office must have immediately voided the charges as they never hit my statement. When I went in for my follow up I paid the correct copay of that visit and the copay for the follow-up. Long story short...when they want to put you on hold say no and just make sure they are billing you correctly. The staff is friendly, they just might need more help or something. Again, Dr. Tootle is awesome. I will go here again, should the need arise.

Dr.Schmidt did reconstruction surgery on my ankle that had caused me great pain and horrible limp for the last 20 years.. I'm now running around as if I was young again. Fabulous feeling! She remembers small details about you, creating a feeling of compassion and care. She is excitedly knowledgeable about how the feet and legs function, just an amazing specialist as well as kind hearted, and extremely efficient in every way. So glad I had this procedure done before I got any older, I'm forever grateful Dr. Schmidt!
