Foot & Ankle Institute of Utah: Francis Clark, DPM and Clay Shumway, DPM

My wife and I have always had a great visit with Dr. Clark. Now that he's retiring we don't know what we'll do except cross our fingers and hope we won't need him in the future. I'm sure all his patients will miss him as well. Thanks to everyone at Dr. Clark's office. You all do an amazing job!

Dr Shumway is a rare individual. He is an excellent surgeon and also a compassionate and caring individual. He operated on my grandson and provides foot care for other members of our family, including myself. Also the staff in this office are exceptional.

Dr Clark was the absolute best. Took my teen here after already having their ingrown toenail worked on by another doctor. My kid was scared to death because the first experience was awful. Dr Clark and his staff took such good care of them and helped them be as calm as possible and several months later it’s still doing well. I can’t thank them enough!

110% happy that I went here! 110% recommend! I read through a LOT of reviews for many different offices and ended up choosing this one. It's been a little over a week since I went in, and I have almost no foot pain now! Granted, that won't be the case for everyone, but for me it's been amazing! I barely limp at work, after work or the next day! The office itself is a little awkward because of the small waiting room, but the staff were all friendly and I didn't have to wait very long. I think my total wait time (in the waiting room and in the room combined) was 15-20 mins. I know that sounds like a lot, but considering they seemed busy and that at my normal doctor, I always wait 30+ mins to be seen, 15-20 mins was a breeze! I saw Dr. Shumway, who was very polite, easy to talk to, and he listened to everything I had to say. He didn't cut me off or get irritated when I rambled. He asked questions that were relative to my problems and gave me a diagnosis very quickly. Not quickly in a bad way - quickly as in he took in all the information we discussed, did a good look at my foot and didn't throw 10 different possibilities out there without getting all the info (the way it seems most doctors do these days). I bought the brace I needed, and they were very up front about the realistic cost of the custom insoles they recommend I get. The brace they recommended for me is available on Amazon for cheaper than the price they're charging ($70 vs $150), BUT if your insurance offers a co-pay what you need, it's likely much cheaper than an online or in store price (in my case it was $35). I wish I had made this appt sooner, years sooner! It would have saved me a lot of pain and discomfort.

The best Doctor, hands down, cares about his patients. Staff is always there with a smile and makes you feel comfortable.... (Maybe this will get me free lunch..) Thanks for giving me many more years of walking with my 3 year old and growing son.. he thanks u as well.
