Robert Valins's Online Review Report Card

I've been a patient of Dr Valins for years. He is an amazing Doctor. He listens, he cares about you and he treats you with respect. He treated me when no other podiatrist would. He made my foot pain tolerable and because of that im able to do the things i love. Thanks Dr Valins for everything.

Visited Dr. Valins for Paronychia of my big toe. He took a lot of time to discuss my options and I decided to opt for surgery. He performed the surgery in the office and I was expecting it to be painful but I did not feel one bit of pain during the surgery or after. The office staff was very professional and friendly. I definitely would recommend Dr. Valins for your foot or ankle problems. The Sun City office is very clean and organized.

My husband and I both use Dr. Valins. He is knowledgable and helpful and explains things carefully. When we need to have a shot in one of our feet, he does it so skillfully that it virtually pain-free. I can't say that about any other podiatrist.

Knowledgeable, caring & patient. Will go back again, as needed

I was advised to come in to get a cast removed. Upon engaging with the doctor, it turned out that the cutter required for removing the cast was not currently available, and the appointment was cut short as we could not proceed. I did not wish to pay the $50 for the visit, as it was unproductive due to the offices lack of preparation, and I politely made this point. They sent the $50 debt to a collection agency. This was a ruthless act, reflects their incompetence, and I do not recommend them.

I haven't seen a podiatrist in 10 years and have had horrible experiences in the past. Dr. Valins was excellent, listened to my concerns, examined my feet and wound up giving me a shot in my left foot. Despite my misgivings about the shot, it was virtually painless and helped almost immediately. Highly recommend!

Went to Dr. Valins with severe right foot pain. Being very active, it limited my daily activities. The pain level was at a ten. After two visit to his office in Ruskin and following his treatment, he was able to get the pain down to a level two. He was willing to aim for a zero, but I was so happy to be able to get back to my daily walks. The front office staff is always so friendly and welcoming.

thought he was nice and very caring and knew what he was talking about

Wonderful doctor, please ignore the negative statements. Before seeing Dr. Valins 2 Cardiologists, 1 podiatrist, and 2 primary care doctors could not resolve an edema issue that I had for almost NINE months. Expensive testing and shots never resolved the problem. One doctor suggesting I stop drinking water! One doctor telling me I just had to live with the problem, both unacceptable!! First visit with Dr. Valins, he listened to my concerns, examined my feet and ankles, told me exactly what was wrong, made the correct treatment plan and now I am almost back to normal. Able to wear more than one pair of shoes and looking forward to buying a new pair of shoes to celebrate. I would highly recommend this doctor, sometimes it's the patient not the doctor!!
