Written Testimonials

Dear Dr.’s Newsom and Robitaille I would like to take this time to thank you for the T.L.C you and your staff have given me while I was a patient in your care. Your kindness, compassion and care are the best I have ever had in my 60 years of living. I feel like I am treated like a friend instead of a patient, I would also like to thank your staff: Demon, Robyn, Jeanette, Stephanie, Ann, Samantha, Camara, Tramika and Noemi. This is a great staff and ya’ll are very lucky to have them. In closing, let me just say Dr. Newsom and Dr. Robitaille, I know I’m only 1 patient but, I think you two are the finest doctors I have ever known and I wouldn’t seek care from anyone else.”

I began going to Atlantic Foot & Ankle several years ago because of a tonail fungus I got in southern Mexico where my husband and I are missionaries. Dr. Robitaille was wonderful and helped remove most of the fungus through treatment. When you walk into the office, you feel very comfortable and at home. All staff members are kind, patient and caring. I love Dr. Robitaille; in fact, I traveled to Hinesville just to see her for my checkup last fall. She always attentive and you don’t feel as though she is trying to get rid of you in a hurry so she can go on to the next patient. It is like when she is with you, you are the only patient she has. I started taking my 87 yr. old aunt who has horribly thick tonails with fungus. My aunt absolutely loved Dr. Robitaille as much as I do.

“From the time I was kid, I hated my toes. I never wore sandals or even open-toed shoes. At the beach I would tuck the under the sand. Until now! Thanks to Dr. Newsom and after 6 tenectomies, my toes are straight! Everyone in the Pooler office is warm, kind, and professional. There was never a long wait in the waiting room, where there was water and coffee. I just wish I had more curled toes so I could go back! Highly, highly recommended!”

“I came to Dr. Newsom several months ago and couldn’t be more pleased. His staff is friendly and efficient, and Dr Newsom really knows his stuff! My formerly ingrown toenails aren’t causing me problems any longer, and my problem toe is well on the way to no longer being a concern. I trust Dr Newsom, and am willing to drive over 1.5 hours to visit his practice.”

“I went to see Dr. Robitaille because I have intense pain in the heels of my feet. She determined that I have Plantar Fasciitis. When I heard this, I immediately thought that there was no cure, only ways to keep comfortable. I was so excited when Dr. Robitaille told me about ESWT. She explained it in a way I understood and gave me hope that I can recover from this. She explained it will take time, but ESWT is the latest and greatest treatment available. I have my first ESWT treatment this week. I am so excited. For the first time, I feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I love how nice the staff is. You walk in the office and feel like you are chatting with friends. I received so much great information. I really learned a lot. Dr. Robitaille even called me that night to ask how I was doing and how my experience was. That was above and beyond great care. I really appreciated that. Thank you Atlantic Foot and Ankle Specialists for giving me hope. I cant wait to start my ESWT treatments.”

“Dr. R is one of the best, if not THE best, physicians from whom I’ve received care. She’s outstanding! She’s very knowledgeable and shows genuine concern; she explains your diagnosis, treatment options and prognosis thoroughly. She’s never in a hurry and is always open to any questions you might have. You can tell she loves her job because she displays an eagerness to get you feeling well as soon as possible. She’s never in a hurry and is always very upbeat, which brings me to her staff. They are fantastic! They exhibit the same patient care, concern, and upbeat attitude. I can’t say enough about each and every one of them! The whole team is great.
Highly, highly recommend this great group of health care providers.

PS: Just today I sent a friend to their office on a quasi-emergency and they were, of course, well taken care of and highly pleased with the care they received. I rest my case!!”

“Dr. Robitaille and her staff are the best team I have ever had the pleasure of seeing as a patient. She has a genuine concern for her patients and their overall well being. I have been a patient of hers since 2010 and I have enjoyed having her as doctor. I wish that all physicians were as wonderful, knowledgeable, caring and concerned about their patients as she is. Thanks Doc for being the best you and hiring the best staff!!”

“I injured my ankle recently and thought it wasn’t a big deal just a sprain. After over a month of swelling and pain I was referred by my PC to Atlantic Foot and Ankle. I have never been to a podiatrist specialist before and had no idea what to expect. I had to bring my very busy 4 year old son with me to the appointment and that is never easy! The certified medical assistant went above and beyond the call of duty! I cant thank her enough for how calm and tolerable she was while my son was climbing the walls. She was also very knowledgeable and helpful in answering all of my questions. Dr. Robitaille was wonderful and gentle with my ankle. She listened and cared about the concerns I had with treatment. Her confidence made me feel very comfortable as a recovering patient. Everyone in the office was very kind and intuitive. I highly recommend Atlantic Foot and Ankle.”

My husband and I decided to walk on the beach in March, by the time we got home, I could not walk correctly. I was in tremendous pain. I made an appointment with Dr. Robitaille and the diagnosis was that the tendon was pulling away from the bone on my second toe. She said that a shot was not necessary and that she wanted me to have this “new” type of treatment using “Radio Waves”. I had three consecutive weeks of having this treatment and one week off, I probably had approximately 15 treatments. Finally in October I put a pair of regular flat shoes on and I was not in pain. I can’t say enough about this treatment….it seems that all the other doctors want to do is operate. It always is a pleasure going to Dr. Robitaille’s office for my treatments….the staff always take the time to put me at ease and find out how my week went. The staff and doctors do a great job, far beyond my expectations.”

“A poem for Dr. Newsom, Before you did my surgery, my toes crossed and my ankle was sore. I had to hop where ever I went. You did my surgery and you did it well! Now it’s time to tell.”
