Why choose Alaska Foot and Ankle Specialists?
Read what patients are saying about AFAS.
Sena Nunley– From my first visit with Dr. Heilala through my most recent, I found him to be easy to talk with, caring and very knowledgeable. His staff were super friendly and seemed to truly care about their patients. I was a bit nervous going into surgery and everything went so smoothly! I had to call his staff a couple of times for different issues and they always treated me kindly and were super fast when a return call was necessary. I can honestly say that my surgical experience was surprisingly great! I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Mel S.–I recently “graduated” from my bilateral bunion surgery after 9 weeks. I cannot express enough how happy I have been with Dr. Heilala and his staff. They were always willing to answer any questions and I was always promptly received in their offices for my appointments. I chose to have my bunions and hammertoes on both feet corrected at one time for a variety of personal reasons and do not regret that decision at all. My feet now feel better than they have in years even though I am still healing from the surgery. I recommend Dr. Heilala and the staff at AFAS to anyone in need of foot surgery and AFAS will be my choice if I am ever in need of foot and ankle specialized care again.
Desmond C.–I had a great experience, the doctor and staff were very caring and courteous. Made me feel comfortable and all the questions I had were answered. They were willing to work with me to accommodate my needs and concerns. I would recommend them to my friends and family.
Leya–The staff are friendly and I had a pleasant surgery experience. Dr, Heilala answered all my concerns and questions. My feet look a lot better than before and I can wear shoes that I wanted to wear, now. I feel more confident. Thank you!
Dianne C.–After suffering for 26 years from a botched bunion surgery, done to both feet at the same time, I started giving up hope of ever having normal, painless feet. My daughter, told me about how wonderful she was treated at AFAS and how “awesome” (her words) Dr. Heilala was with her. She suggested I have him take a look at my feet.
I can’t express how happy I am that I did. I told Dr. Heilala how I had been turned down by several podiatrists because they said I was too old for the surgery. He reassured me that I wasn’t too old and that the healing process would be a bit longer than the average client. I’m so grateful for Dr. Heilala’s knowledge and skills which gave me ‘walkable’ feet again. I also can’t say enough about the friendly, helpful and efficient staff at Alaska Foot and Ankle Specialists. The experience has changed my life.
Kim M.–Your staff is the nicest I have ever dealt with.
Mary–I’m writing this note to you now, to let you know that this past summer, I ran in & enjoyed a half marathon. Yes, because of your great surgeon skills, my quality of life improved dramatically. I just wanted you to know how much your work has meant to me. Thank you.
Jone–Very happy with treatment, thankful for everything & the staff is great
