Testimonials

Read what our patients have to say about their experience with the doctors of The Seattle Heel Pain Center.

“…I went to about five or six people, and nobody could solve it for several years but he solved it in a few months.  So he was able to diagnose the problem correctly and prescribe the right treatment.  I have had great customer experience there.  Dr Young is very personable himself, a very nice guy to see.  It is worth the drive from Kirkland to Issaquah.   I will continue to see him  in the future.”

“When I first saw Dr. Nelson I had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Pain in my left foot was unbearable and we were not sure if it was related to the PD or was something new. X-rays showed damage to my left Achilles tendon and heel. Also present was a stress fracture. Dr. Nelson treated my problem conservatively at first and then felt surgery was necessary to make the repairs. Three month later, there is no pain and my gait is normal. I would recommend Dr. Nelson to anyone who is suffering from foot/ankle pain. He is very caring and gentle and listens to his patients. I was extremely impressed that an entire medical practice could be this professional.”

“I am very impressed with Dr. Nelson and his staff. Both of my appointments have been good experiences and I’m pleased with my progress thus far.”
–C.T., WA

“Dr. Young performed surgery in his Issaquah surgical suite. I had a bone spur removed and a repair from a previous surgery. He is the most caring physician I have ever encountered and I have plenty of experience with physicians. He is efficient and skilled and has a wonderful staff. His office was open until noon on Christmas Eve so he could do follow up on his surgical patients from that week. He is a dedicated professional and I would highly recommend him…The office called the night before to ensure I followed presurgery instructions. During my preop appointment I was given the needed prescriptions, walking boot and the prescription to get my handicap parking permit. The surgery was held right on schedule and I received a follow up call that night as well as the next day. I have had weekly postop appointments since and I am very pleased with the results. I can’t say enough about this caring, talented physician and his staff.”

“I have made several visits and each time leave with such a good impression of the medical assistants and staff. They are very friendly and all act as though they genuinely care about my situation. A follow-up call a week later was unexpected and very much appreciated.”

“Great.”
–J.M., Fall City, WA

“He is excellent. He is very personable. After I left his office they followed up with me. I thought the follow up was great and that he is very knowledgeable and personable.   I had something on the bottom of my foot and he did the same treatment twice.  The problem is now taken care of since I had gone to him.  The staff is great. The receptionist is very nice.  They are punctual and get me in quickly.  They do an awesome job.  I would continue to see him in the future.”

“Dr. Nelson and the staff were wonderful!”
–T.E., Sammamish, WA

“After five years of living with my Mortons’ Neuroma, after being told there was nothing that could be done, I found Dr. Nelson at the Issaquah Foot and Ankle Center. I researched a new procedure and learned that it was offered here. After five injections my pain is gone and I am walking around Greenlake again! Dr. Nelson is professional and honest, what a great staff.”
– T.J., Seattle

“It was great to meet your team, everyone was very nice and professional. Really appreciate the fact that all the necessary equip for xrays and such are right there in the office, since I am from out of town, it was important to be able to get things done in a timely manner !! Loved the use of the muscle stimulator prior to the steroid injection into my big toe joints. Update…the pain is drastically reduced, but unfortunately I am still unable to bend my big toe…but I am up and hiking, so am very happy !! Thank you for everything.”

“I was having pain with every step, I even found myself limping. Dr. Nelson casted me for orthotics and the orthotics completely eliminated my pain.”
– Alexus, age 13, Issaquah, WA

“Dr. Nelson has been a very friendly and engaging doctor, who quickly diagnosed my foot pain and has helped me to be pain free from plantar fasciitis in a surprisingly short time.”
– J.J., Sammamish, WA

“Prior to coming to Dr. Young, I didn’t believe in orthotics. Now I feel I could be a spokesperson for Dr. Young and orthotics.”
– F.M, Bellevue, WA
(This patient’s main complaint was heel pain (plantar fasciitis).

“Dr. Young, our family has moved across the state. But, we still travel back to your clinic because of the special technique that you have developed to make injections less painful.”
– K. M., Issaquah, WA

“I was able to set up an appointment for very next day. Took me about 5 min for paper work. Before i was done with that i was already called in by nurse. Waited another 3 min for a doctor. And they have a pharmacy too. Nice!!!”
–R.S., WA

Dr. Young is very professional on anything foot related. I originally went in for nail problem and plantar fasciitis. Dr. Young asked if he could take x-rays, because he thought my foot problem may be due to an unseen fracture. He was very explanatory on all that he saw in the films and the recommended line of treatment. I will be seeing him for any foot problems.”
