Exceptional Podiatric Care: Penny Alford’s Patient Story

Penny Alford has nothing but high praise for Dr. O. Christian Hall, her podiatrist since 1987. From their very first visit, she was immediately put at ease by his gentle and personable demeanor. While she feared the pain of getting ingrown toenails pulled, she found Dr. Hall’s approach to be quite different than she had anticipated. He took the time to explain the procedure and ensure that she was comfortable throughout. 


“I had heard horror stories about ingrown toenail removal,” says Penny. “I was worried about the procedure, but when Dr. Hall did it, I didn’t feel a thing.”


Treatment for Plantar Fasciitis


Fast forward to five years ago, when Penny began experiencing
painful symptoms from plantar fasciitis. She immediately thought of Dr. Hall. and knew placing her trust in him once again would be the right choice.


“Dr. Hall made such an impression on me that I would never see anyone else,” says Penny.


Once again, decades later, Penny was impressed by Dr. Hall’s kind and approachable nature and his genuine care for her well-being. More than a skilled doctor, she also found him to be friendly and relatable - the type of physician who would easily recognize her and speak to her outside of his office.


Exceptional Bedside Manner from a Skilled Podiatrist


Dr. Hall's ability to connect with his patients is a testament to his expertise and passion for podiatry. He understands that foot problems can be uncomfortable and even debilitating, and he takes great care to ensure his patients feel heard and understood. He's dedicated to finding the best possible treatment for each individual, tailoring his approach to fit their unique needs, and just like Penny, many have found their experiences with Dr. Hall to be nothing short of exceptional.
