I had my bunion surgery at Foot First in October 2020 and I am so thrilled with the results. Dr. Keith and his entire staff are absolutely amazing. They care so much about their patients. You never feel rushed and they take their time to answer all your questions. The difference between this surgery and the traditional surgery on my other foot was night and day. I was so happy to be walking from day one and did not need physical therapy. I highly recommend Foot First!

Wow, I can't remember everybody's name but I was very impressed by Dr Sklar and his entire staff. From the receptionist to the nurses . They all get along and they very attentive . Dr. Sklar is very professional and very personable. And best of all I had surgery and Dr. Sklar got me a really good outcome. Dr. Ruckman works with Dr. Sklar and he shows the same care as the rest of the practice. I would recommend Dr. Sklar to my family and friends. I already have. 5 stars for every one in his practice. I felt very well taken care of.

After suffering with painful bunions for years I came here. It was the best decision I have ever made. Both Keith and Samantha were wonderful as well as their amazing staff and nurses. I had the procedure done 3 weeks apart and walked out of there both times. Very minimal pain and was in a gym shoe in 2 weeks. Anyone considering bunion surgery should come here.

I have full confidence in the review I am about to leave. As an operating room RN, I took my time evaluating different procedures and techniques for bunionectomy procedures. I had bilateral foot bunions that I waited to have surgery on for almost 20 years. Having said that, I am a working wife and mother, so I knew that I needed to find a way to proceed with surgery with minimal downtime or time off work. I knew a few nurses that had worked with Dr. Keith and Dr. Sam Sklar. Of course, I had also heard the Foot First Podiatry commercials on the radio. I decided that it was my time to investigate their procedures. I will start my review by saying….DON’T HESITATE TO SCHEDULE YOUR VISIT TODAY!
From the moment I arrived and was greeted by the scheduling administrators, as well as the office health team coordinators and professionals: they made me feel comfortable and this office staff is extremely knowledgeable. I did go to 2 of their offices: Schaumburg and Oakbrook. Each office was excellent in service and knowledge. They make you feel so comfortable and know you by name as you repeatedly come back for your visits. By the time I had spoken to Dr. Keith and Dr. Sam I knew I wanted both to care for my feet. That day, I scheduled my first foot for June 2019 and my other foot for 2 weeks later. By the way, I also spoke to patients in the waiting room that sang the praise of this father/daughter MD team. They are amazingly kind, caring, skilled and talented. I did ask Dr. Keith about how he came up with his technique for the Sklar Bunionectomy…..as I have never seen this surgery done like this. He worked with an engineer…need I say more: uniquely talented and innovative. I met Dr. Sam during my consultation first: professional, caring, a patient herself of this procedure, and just a lovely person in general. I then met Dr. Keith at my pre-surgical consultation a week before my surgery: kind, confident and with years of training and talent. I knew I was in the right office and doing the right thing with having the surgeries done. In addition, they really work with medical testing to see if your circulation and healing properties are in order before they schedule your surgery. This is crucial, and they are thorough. Dr. Ruckman was also part of my team in office visits and in X-ray consultation at times also: he is also very receptive to questions, concerns and a talented part of the professional team. The office staff also makes the insurance process seamless. You know in a day or so what will be covered, and what will be out of pocket based on your insurance coverage. No surprises at a later date…as they depicted early in the process. This also eases your mind.
If you are prepared to read the post-op instructions: you are set for a very straightforward recovery. Dr. Sklars’ informative instructions depict each day/weeks feelings, needs and expectations. I have never received better instructions for post-surgical preparations in my life! So exact and prepare you for your journey. I was in recommended athletic shoes in 14 days and had no complications what so ever. Yes, you have pain for 1 day post-surgery and limitations in wearing shoes other than those shoes for weeks, but I was able to get back in regular shoes in no time! Looking at my feet without those bumps is amazing and my scars can barely be seen (they are on the sides of big toe). I must also give a big shout out to the CRNA (anesthesia professionals) from Lake Anesthesia Associates (Tom and Mark) who were kind, quickly comforting, and skilled. I have never been happier with a surgical team. Please do not hesitate to make Dr. Keith and Sam part of your recovery to having pain free and awesome looking feet. You will be so happy you went for your consultation.

Felt comfortable with the office, staff and doctors from the 1st visit. Everything was well explained to me before the procedure and the surgery and recovery went as expected.

Dr. Keith Sklar and his team are the best. I traveled all the way from Michigan for my two surgeries. As long as I can remember I have been hiding my awful feet. There were so many things I wouldn’t do and missed out on because I refused to walk around barefoot. I feel like my life is just starting at 42. My feet look wonderful, I don’t want to cover them 🤗. I had a bunionectomy and 3 toes shortened on each foot. I walked out of the office right after surgery both times and had not an ounce of pain. This was the best decision of my life!! I wish I would’ve found Dr. Keith Sklar and staff years ago!!

My neighbor recommended Dr. Sklar to me over a year ago at which time I had my left foot bunion surgery. The procedure and recovery time went just as it was explained to me by Dr. Sklar and his staff. The pain in my right foot wasn't as bad so I waited and had it done 4 weeks ago. Again everything is going as it was explained to me. I think the staff at Foot First are amazing, so patient, kind and understanding as is Dr. Sklar and Dr. Sam Sklar. I highly recommend them.
