"This review is long overdue, as it has been three years since I had simultaneous surgery on the bilateral hallux and second phalanx performed by Dr. Hallivis. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience from the initial consult to the postoperative visit and suture removal. He takes pride in his work and is competent, knowledgeable, efficient, polite, kind, and down-to-earth. He explained thoroughly the problem, the course of action, and the expected outcome. I will continue to recommend Dr. Hallivis first, for those seeking all manner of foot correction." - Hana R.
“Dr. Pontell went above and beyond any care I've ever had. He was very proactive about my treatment plan and monitored me during my recovery like no other doctor ever has. His expertise in the field surpassed all of my expectations.” - Amy D.

Payment Options
We accept cash, Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and personal checks.
Card-on-File
We encourage patients to keep a credit card on file to make the checkout process easier, faster, and more efficient. You will no longer receive statements from us, but you will continue to receive your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from your insurance carrier once your claim has been processed, detailing the charges and payments made on your behalf.
At check-in we will:
- scan the credit card of your choice, including your Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) card
After your insurance has paid their portion, we will:
- notify you via email of the balance owed
- charge the balance owed to your card on file
- email a receipt for the charge
Your credit card information will always be fully protected by our off-site, card-processing partner Elavon, and not on our computers, as required by industry standards (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard – PCI-DSS).
