Orange County Foot and Ankle Surgeon - Michael Coyer, DPM - Irvine, California

I highly recommend Dr. Coyer. He is very approachable and efficient. He provided thorough explanation of expectations when it came to my surgery. He answered all my questions, discussed alternative noninvasive solutions and consequences of all options. I did ultimately choose the surgical route. Dr. Coyer addressed all my concerns so I would be at ease on surgery day. Post surgery, every Xray has come back with excellent alignment.

I had a surgery on my foot few years ago. The girls at the front desk were extremely unprofessional and unethical. One of the girls at the front desk purposely refused to schedule my appointment. She was playing with her phone and extremely disrespectful toward me for no reason. I was very surprised of her behavior as this should not be a behavior I have to deal with at a hospital treating patients. I did not understand how could they hire someone purposely refuse to help patience and act careless about her Job. In addition multiple time they purposely hold information that was critical to my appointment to make me look bad patient. These front desk girls were playing games and it was my health in their hand. I should have sued this place for their inappropriate treatment and discrimination toward me. I should have speak to their management at the time but I was extremely hurt physically and had no energy for them. The hospital should be responsible for their unethical behavior and HIPPA violation. Dr Michel Coyer did good job on my feet but should have better bedside manner. He was influenced very easily in to the games that was prepared by the girls at the front desk. As a patient I felt very unsafe and I was worried to speak up about very dangerous act was done toward me by these unprofessional girls. This situation has affected my health majority

I had a broken pinky toe that was taking some time to heal. My primary referred me to Dr. Coyer. He is so nice! His bedside manner, one of the best. I’m a nurse. I would know. 😏 The experience at the office was so great, I’m writing the review in the parking lot!

I had to share the wonderful consultation/visit I had with Dr. Coyer. As a Senior in my 60's with many chronic conditions, sometimes I feel as if getting used to dealing with more restrictions is what I have to accept. Dr. Coyer patiently addressed each one of my issues with an easy to follow solutions. I am looking forward to enjoying long walks with my dog again. He has given me a new lease on life.
Thank you so much,

I met with Dr. Coyer yesterday with some pain in my foot that I thought was either a stress fracture or tendonitis. It ended up being mid-foot arthritis (blow to the ego, thank you years of sports!), and I was really impressed with three things regard Dr. Coyer.

#1 - Knowledge and bedside manner
Dr. Coyer was very thorough, very knowledgable and patient in explaining what he was doing to diagnose my issue. He answered every question I had and then some, and had some great bedside manner. I could tell that he became a physician because he wanted to help people; you could just feel it during the conversation. I also appreciated the fact that he is an athlete, as the goal for me is to get back to activity rather than just feel better.

#2 Timely
My wait in the office was short, and although I needed x-rays, I waited only about 5 mins from the time I finished my x-rays until the time he came in to tell me I was, well.....gettin' old... heh. He was prompt and respectful of my time, which was great.

#3 Action Plan
Dr. Coyer clearly walked through the diagnosis and presented an action plan that was reasonable and practical. He wasn't trying to sell something like many physicians do, but was trying to get a cost-effective solution that would get me back on the road to recovery. I feel like it was a patient-first action plan which I liked.

#4 Post-Visit
As I was leaving, he said to call him or email if I need help choosing shoes, or had any follow up questions, and that I didn't need to come back in to do that. That type of follow up just isn't something that happens anymore so I was really happy about that.

Overall, my visit with Dr. Coyer was a great experience. I am confident about the accuracy of the diagnosis and enthusiastic about my road to recovery. I would recommend you definitely give him a visit if you encounter some foot problems.

I was able to get an appointment the same week I called in and when I arrived I was seen right on time and the staff was friendly and courteous. Dr. Coyer didn't rush my appointment. He explained everything thoroughly and answered all my questions. He was knowledgeable and I left with a satisfying follow-up plan. I would highly recommend Dr. Coyer and his staff.

Dr. Coyer listened to my complaint of heel pain and said he had the same issue! I appreciate his conservative approach to resolving my tendinitis with stretching,, ice, elevation and a change to a less flexible walking shoe!

Dr. Coyer is a highly trained foot and ankle surgeon and OCPodiatry is lucky to have him.
