Me encantó llegar a este lugar donde el trato ha sido excelente 👌 , el Dr Mikke al igual que su equipo de trabajo , respuestas claras y buen tratamiento 🥞🥞🥞Posted on Google Robert GrayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We went in today for 2 ingrown toenails. The dr and the staff were amazing! Such a great experience, the Dr took his time to ensure my son was comfortable. My son was all worked up and worried but the dr made it so simple and easy that my son even said “that wasn’t bad at all!” Highly recommend!Posted on Google ShannahTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I appreciate the Dr taking time ti explain and listen to the issues. We have been to many doctors the last few months with no answers or solutions. Today is the 1st day I feel hope to ending my grandson’s foot pain. The entire staff we met today were all wonderful.Posted on Google J KellerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! Staff was great about getting me in quickly. Was having terrible plantar fasciitis pain. Dr. Nicole Baxter quickly got at the root of the issue and started an aggressive treatment plan. So grateful for the caring pros at Preferred Foot & Ankle (Pediatric Foot & Ankle).Posted on Google Lori JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finally—a doctor who listened. My son Triton has been experiencing pain when he walks. Other doctors dismissed it as simply being part of his disability, but Dr. Jarman was the first pediatric foot and ankle specialist who took his pain seriously and looked deeper. He carefully evaluated Triton’s feet, ankles, gait and the possible reasons walking has become painful. He didn’t make assumptions based on Triton’s disability. He listened, investigated and treated him like a person whose pain mattered. As a local Arizona mom, I cannot say this strongly enough: parents, advocate for your children, especially children who may not be able to fully explain what they are feeling. If your child is showing you they are in pain, believe them. Pain should never automatically be dismissed as “just part of their disability.” I’m incredibly thankful we found Dr. Jarman and Pediatric Foot & Ankle. This was the first time I felt someone was truly willing to search for answers for Triton.Posted on Google michal chandlerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hands down the best staff and doctor! Every appointment is so comfortable because the staff is so kind and patient with my child. Dr. Jarman makes him feel so comfortable and most importantly safe. My son is autistic and going to the doctors can be stressful for both my little one and myself but that’s not the case at this practice. I appreciate their knowledge and support so much. Thank you all and thank you for being a doctors appointment my child and I look forward to.Posted on Google Tim WagnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Sammi's Review of Dr. Jarman
We’re incredibly grateful for parents like Sammi for taking the time to leave such a detailed account of their experience with us.
Dr. Jarman has treated 3 of our 5 children. We drive from N. Phoenix to his practice. Why? His treatment of severs is effective as long as patients follow his protocol and our kids are back to high impact activities in no time! And as a perk his office staff, MAs- all excellent excellent customer service. Everything is clearly explained and I never feel rushed. I highly recommend Dr. Jarman!
