We chose Dr. Bembynista because his office accepted our insurance plan and his Northand office was close to our home. That turned out to be a blessing as his diagnosis was quick and assured. He immediately gained our confidence. The 4 or 5 biweekly sessions were something we actually looked forward to as he was often the highlight of our week. We were a little disappointed when the issue was resolved. You will see what I am talking about when you meet Dr. Bembynista who is blessed both with an incredible skill set and an outstanding personality.

My wife ‘asked’ that I finally make an appointment with a podiatrist upon seeing my grind on my foot with an electric hand sander. Having acquiesced to the obvious, I began my search for a reputable podiatrist. I couldn’t have asked for better in finding my way to Dr. Bembynista. He has a wonderful staff; put me at ease right away. His diagnosis was fast and spot on. And the remediation was painless, quick and successful; and without the use of the Dewalt sander. Thank you so much Dr. Bembynista. It was truly a pleasure to meet you and I am very thankful for your time, service and expertise.

10/13/12 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | I love Dr. Bembynista!!! He is the best foot doctor! I drive from Topeka just to get treatments. After putting up with a stubborn fungus on my toenail for a couple of years, he has been able to laser it and almost totally get rid of it. Even medication that was prescribed by another doctor could not do what Dr. Bembynista has accomplished. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Also, the shoe inserts he prescribed for me totally relieved the pain of my plantar fasciitis which I suffered with for over a year. | Respond |

10/12/12 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | I paid the full charge as my insurance company did not cover the procedure. But it was well worth the fee, as I have been trying for approx. 25 years to get rid of my toe fungus! I am delighted with the results so far and Dr. Bembynista was wonderful to work with. He is very knowledgable in his field, compassionate and has a great bedside manner! I would highly recommend Dr. Bembynista without hesitation to anyone needing any treatment involving the feet! He was very highly recommended to me my a co-worker/friend who couldn't say enough good things about the various treatments she has had over the years with her feet! I am so thrilled to finally be rid of the embarrassing and painful toe fungus that I have had for many years, and have tried many different treatments without success! Thank you Dr. Bembynista! | Respond |

I had multiple foot problems and he was on top of each situation. He was very caring and explained all things to me during the initial process. He keeps a qualified staff. I recommend him to everyone and anyone! | Respond |

Bembynista rocks! I arrived early for my 9 a.m. appointment, he saw me right away, fixed my foot and had me out the door. He is very personable, very funny guy and willing to take as much time as you want to educate yourself about your issue.

I was recommended to see Dr Bembynista from a fellow nurse who works for an orthopedic surgeon. That's truly a recommendation! I feel like my foot is better than before surgery. I can walk normally, stand on my tiptoes again. I have not been able to do that for 5 years. I am truly thankful I made to right choice in surgeons to fix my foot!

Dr. Bembynista is an excellent Doctor. He is very knowledgeable and takes the time to make sure you understand your foot issue and his recommended treatment. He has treated me over the last several years for both plantar faciitis and ingrown toenails and the results have been excellent. He is very nice and so is his office staff. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends! He is great!

3/19/12 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | I worked with Dr Bembynista on an achilles tendonitis issue I had been suffering with for 4+ years. After a consult, Dr B felt we had a great chance to use PRP treatment in the effected area with little to no risk of ill effect. I'm happy to report the PRP treatment produced incredible results, as the tendenosis was reduced dramatically and I am now able to run and exercise without the pain I have been dealing with for years. | Respond |

Dr. Bembynista and his staff are amazing. I was told by a previous doctor that surgery was my only option. Dr. Bembynista fitted my for orthotics, and my foot is already feeling better with no surgery. I would recommend Dr. Bembynista to anyone need a fantastic foot doctor.

I first went to Dr. Bembynista approximately 18 years ago. I inherited ingrown toenails from my dad and he had taught me to put a piece of tissue under the corners. I babied them and did that for many years but after graduating from college and working full time, I decided to get them permanently fixed so they wouldn't affect my life. Dr. Bembynista took care of both feet in an amazingly PAINLESS manner!!! and I have always remembered him and have referred him to friends often over the years. I love the fact that his name is memorable, as I can immediately refer him to others in need. ... and now, 18 years later, I have returned to Dr. B for neuroma issues. He is super nice and gentle and actually LISTENS to you as he fixes the problem. I STILL highly recommend Dr. Bembynista to anyone who values their feet and has any foot issues.

From the day I contacted Dr. Bembynista's office, I felt an immeditate since of hope. They were all so pleasent and caring. Dr. Bembynista just finalized what I thought from the very beginging, that this is the doctor for me and my needs. He evaluated my problem and gave me care instructions. My surgery went as close to perfect as possible in my opinion. I walked out of the office after surgery and did not experience enough pain to take more than an iburprofen afterwards. It's been 4 weeks since my surgery and I would just like to thank Dr. Bembynista and his wonderful staff for all their support and expertees. I can now sleep without discomfort to my foot and I am still in the healing process. Thanks to you guy's my life is going to be pleasent!

Dr B is the best. He diagnosed my initital problem immediately and corrected it with orthotics. Recently, had the the need for Dr B's expertise and again, diagnosed the problem within seconds of describing my symptoms and was treated and within days, my pain subsided. He is a great doctor and is very caring and wants to to the best for his patients. I would recommend him highly.

Dr "B" was my podiatrist 10-11 years ago when I still worked on my feet all day & always had an excellent demeaner & never steered me wrong. I recently became in need of a podiatrist again & he was the first on my mind to contact. I was so happy to see that he has not changed in how he approaches his patient in the best possible way,to help relieve my pain & his knowledge of any problem presented to him.I was also able to obtain an aappointment very quickly. You can tell he still loves his work after many years. I personally,would rate him a "10" if so offered & have gladly given his name to many people over the years without hesitation. He's the best!

9/15/11 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Dr. Bembynista was very helpful and knowledgeable, he took plenty of time with me to make sure he understood the situation, and then that I understood what was happening and was comfortable throughout the treatment. I came in with a toenail infection, which I had tried several methods of treating previously, and instead of having to take months of dangerous drugs (which are shown to be very hard on your kidneys) I just had one painless treatment with a laser and the infection was gone. I would definitely recommend Dr. B to anyone having foot problems. | Respond |

As an OR Nurse who has worked with Dr. B as well as had him assist with some foot problems of my own, I highly recommend him. I have always seen him show respect and caring for each patient and he is conservative and knows how to best serve and help the patient. I highly recommend his expertise and would encourage all who have foot problems to make an appointment with Dr. B/JC, RN, CNOR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED FOOT, ANKLE & KNEE PAIN FOR 3 YEARS. I TRIED ALL THE THINGS THAT USED TO WORK TO HANDLE JOINT & MUSCLE PAIN FROM A LIFETIME OF SPORTS WITH NO APPRECIABLE RESULTS. AFTER REALIZING I HAD PLANTAR FISCIITIS DR. B. TOLD ME THAT ORTHOTICS WOULD RELIEVE MY PAIN. WITH THE CONSTANT PAIN I WAS EXPERIENCING, ANYTHING WAS WELCOME. HE MADE A 'CAST' OF MY FEET AND IN 2 WEEKS I HAD MY ORTHOTICS, AND I MUST SAY, I WAS ASTOUNDED AT THE NEARLY IMMEDIATE RELIEF IN THE ENTIRE FOOT, ANKLE AND KNEE. I'M NOW PLAYING PAIN-FREE GOLF AND CAN EVEN RUN, IF I CHOOSE. I HAVE RECOMMENDED EVERYONE WITH THIS KIND OF PAIN TO CHECK INTO GETTING THESE ORTHOTICS WITH ONE NEIGHBOR WHO SAID IT HAS 'CHANGED HIS LIFE' AND I'M HERE TO SAY, IT REALLY DOES. I SHOULD MAKE BETS WITH PEOPLE ON IT'S BENEFITS. THANKS DR. B. JAMBO

Doc has treated my entire family for ingrown toenails and fitted us for orthotics. He has seen my youngest son since he was about 10 and his diagnosis of him needing orthotics really changed his life. Before he constantly cried that his knees and legs hurt, we always thought it was 'growing pains'. While I was having an ingrown toenail removed Doc looked at his feet and determined he needed orthotics. My son became able to participate in sports in high school and became a champion distance runner and cross country athlete. I firmly believe this wouldn't have been possible without Doc properly diagnosing him. He is a compassionate, kind doc with a great staff. If you need a great foot doc look no further.

7/22/11 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 | Here's what impressed me about Dr. Bembynista 1. I called him at an awkward hour and he got right back to me. 2. Made a quick evaluation of what needed to be done. 3. Initiated a time for us to meet to address my toe problem 4. The entire time he was doing the procedure he was reassuring me, asking about whether I was comfortable or in pain, letting me know "time table" for the process. 5. Gave me good follow through instructions 6. Checked up on me to see how I was progressing. 7. Fees were right on for the work he did. Dr. Bembynista was very professional. I will always go to him when I have podiatry issues. Paul Meyer Overland Park, Ks | Respond |
