I am very grateful to Dr. Derby because he has completely changed my quality of life. I came to him with a previous bad bunion surgery. I had had pain and swollen feet for a year. He explained to me that he could correct it through arthrodesis. 4 months after surgery, my foot is magnificent, added to the fact that he is an exceptional doctor with attention, patience, and knowledge. the best option in Tampa Bay

Dr Patrick Derby is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. He performed a surgery on my foot for heel pain and is always available by phone for any questions and followed up personally after the surgery to check on me. There is never a long wait for an appointment and they can be booked online which is a very nice feature. If you need to see a podiatrist or surgeon I highly recommend seeing Dr Derby ! Edit: I forgot to mention that the entire office staff is friendly too...especially Gigi at the front desk !
