John J. Holtzman, DPM, St. Louis MO

This Doctor is the most down to earth Doctor I have ever been treated by. He is direct and smooth. So glad he’s taking care of my foot.

Did not even introduce himself to me nor the medical assistant with him. I had heard him walking through the hall before he entered my room and was joking about how all his patients that day had fractures. Not going into medical details but I was particularly sure there was no fracture. Even after his VERY short entry I willingly let his staff do an additional X-ray even know I had already had one through my PCPs office. He came I. Afterwards and stated as I suspected that he could not see any fractures but still wanted an MRI. During this time he had mentioned planters faci as a Diagnosis to the tech but no word to me about this. He then told me that I would need to wear a medical boot. Honestly at this point, I wasn’t sure what to think? So I agreed to wear the boot which they made me sign a waiver that I would pay for if insurance did not cover (Surprise it didn’t) and he said, “I will get you fixed up “ Long story not so short I had the MRI one of his office staff called and told me that it was not a fracture and that he had recommended that I see my PCP for follow up. Im just being honest here, after spending $160 on the boot which I did not need and another $300 on the MRI - again did not need, I have to say that this Doctor was a waste of my time and money. Being a Mercy employee I can honestly say I would recommend him to no one.
