Patient Reviews

October 30, 2024
I would like to have all providers talk about the importance of diet, lifestyle, toxins, etc. on every aspect of health. I believe this is what separates health care providers from disease management providers and sadly, health care providers are few and far between.
October 28, 2024
I was very pleased with this first visit. I'm hoping I will not need to return.
October 16, 2024
Everyone is very polite and kind in the office.
October 16, 2024
Dr. Vest and team are what healthcare should be for everyone! Excellent service and would highly recommend to my friends and family!
October 16, 2024
Dr. Vest and the entire staff are awesome!
October 15, 2024
I had a great experience. Everyone there is very helpful and polite and Dr. Vest is great at his job and listens and has the greatest bedside type manner. So I'm very happy with everything and how the office works. Thanks. Bye.
October 08, 2024
Nice caring group of staff
October 08, 2024
Professional and kind
October 01, 2024
Reception is very important to me. The person who checked me in, was attentive (example:eye contact and positive).
September 25, 2024
Yes, I just like to say that how good all the treatment was from cutting my toenails to just making them nice and moist and everything. It has been a pleasure to go there and every time I do go there, I get such good treatment and I just love it so much. And I can't wait to go again. So thank you all so much for such good, you know, just good times when I go there. I just have a wonderful time. Thank you.
September 23, 2024
Thank you all.
September 17, 2024
Everyone went out of their way to make it a good experience.
September 17, 2024
Dr.Vest is personal and also very professional.
September 17, 2024
Great caring office staff, nurses, PAs and Doctor
September 16, 2024
The staff are always courageous and friendly.
September 16, 2024
Very professional and took the time to listen to what I had to say. Friendly staff and I didn't have to wait to get checked in.
September 11, 2024
Dr. Vest and his crew are amazing. He fixed my ankle when he was fresh out of med school, did an AMAZING job and then now, 10 years later he's making sure to cross out everything on the list as to why I'm having pain now. Forever the best medical team I have ever had.
September 11, 2024
Dr. Vest and the staff at Capitol Foot & Ankle are always professional and take care of their patients.
September 10, 2024
He's a very good doctor. Everyone took care of me very, very well at the hospital or the surgery center and I thoroughly had no problems with anyone. Everybody did a good job. Thank you.
September 03, 2024
Attending nurse "Ashley" was extremely good and very competent as well as Doctor Vest. I am extremely appreciative of their excellent medical care and would highly recommend them to anyone.
September 03, 2024
Everyone very nice and professional. My first visit and put me at ease.
August 26, 2024
Everyone was friendly. I felt the doctor listened to .y concerns and addressed them.
August 19, 2024
Dr. Vest was great & discussed my issue. Said he was going to get a pad for my toe. Then there seemed to be a disconnect because I did not see him again and did have some questions. I waited approximately 15-20 minutes until the nurse came with the pad and demonstrated how to put it on & did. I did ask her a few questions but I was not totally confident with her responses. End of appointment.
August 14, 2024
Dr Vest and team treated me so kindly and i felt confident and cared for. I was embarrassed of my feet but Dr Vest really put my anxiousness and feelings at ease. He was confident he could help me and we would do this together which really made me feel happy I had reached out. Thank you to him and his team!
August 13, 2024
Very pleased.
August 06, 2024
The handout of stretches that I was given to take home was a quickly-made copy of a copy that was hard to read and not professional-looking. I was surprised. This is standard info that a number of patients would need- and I need it to last a couple months!
August 05, 2024
My questions were answered thoroughly by nurse and Dr. Vest. My procedure (toenail removed) was explained well and I was made comfortable.
July 24, 2024
Everyone was helpful and courteous.
July 23, 2024
We came in for information on foot fungus care and did not get the chance to discuss before the doctor went to another patient
July 23, 2024
Friendly Staff
July 22, 2024
The receptionist, nurses, doctor, and appointment scheduler were were friendly and thorough.
July 22, 2024
Appreciated the personal attention. But more important, my foot isn't hurting!!!
July 16, 2024
I just cannot say enough positive things about this practice and Dr. Vest. They always give me great care and I would not trust my feet to anyone else
July 15, 2024
I have always been treated with courtesy and made to feel at ease. I appreciate everyone's professionalism. I know they listen to me and address my concerns. I have had a very good experience at this office.
July 15, 2024
The surgery is a little scary but Dr Vest let me feel comfortable enough so that I'm going to schedule it.
July 09, 2024
I wish I would have started with you guys
July 09, 2024
Considerate and knowledgeable doctor and staff
July 09, 2024
The PA I saw (Angie) was professional, polite, answered questions thoroughly, and explained the facts in very comprehensible way.
July 09, 2024
For first time being at capital foot and ankle as a patient, everything was streamline from check-in, getting back into the room and then being seen by the provider. Was a great experience.
July 09, 2024
Both Medical personal and administrative Staff were professional
July 03, 2024
Great experience and very understanding and able to work with my busy schedule.
July 03, 2024
Fantastic experience. The PA solved by problem in just minutes.
July 01, 2024
All of my experiences with everyone at the clinic have been super positive. Everyone is so kind and caring and are willing to answer all of my questions.
July 01, 2024
I hadn't been there for a long time and I would recommend that office to a friend or family. Very professional office
June 26, 2024
Everyone was very caring and helpful
June 25, 2024
My feet are happy!
June 25, 2024
All was great. Thank you. .
June 25, 2024
Dr. Vest was excellent. He listened to all my questions and answered everyone.
June 25, 2024
The receptionist was very friendly and Dr. Vest was very personable and empathetic. That's not very often with a specialist and I appreciated it very much.
June 24, 2024
The person who assisted me was patient, thorough, friendly, and knowledgeable. I felt very at ease during my visit.
June 21, 2024
Dr. Vest left the exam room, saying he would be right back with a picture of the medical sock he wanted me to use. He did not return. I think he may have asked a medical assistant to bring in the picture because after waiting much too long, my husband went out to the nursing station. I had obviously been forgotten. I know these things happen but I object to the absence of an apology.
June 21, 2024
I think Dr. Vest is the best doctor that there is as far as a foot doctor. I've been going to him for a long time and I have no intention of changing. Thank you very much.
June 12, 2024
Efficient and friendly follow up.
June 10, 2024
The front deskreceptionist was not unfriendly. I could have checked into a computer kiosk and had the same experience.
June 05, 2024
Very nice and helpful nurses, checkin was easy and nice ladies.
June 04, 2024
Angi did a great job!!! Dr. Vest looked at my ankles and determined quickly what the problem was!
June 04, 2024
He is very knowledgeable, and was very easy to communicate with him. All my questions were answered. I am very satisfied with the service provided
June 04, 2024
I never saw Dr. Vest, as per scheduled appointment. The PA I did see was great, and fine for a required pre-orthotics check for Medicare insurance. So it may not matter for treatment. However, I was never called from waiting room for the dr. appointment, instead went right to casting -- and receptionist Darla had to intervene to make sure the casting nurse knew I needed to see Dr. Vest first. After a while, the PA came to see me. It delayed the back-to-back scheduled appointment then casting by around 15 minutes, and I never saw Dr. Vest.
June 04, 2024
The providers staff and nursing were all very nice professional
June 03, 2024
Would for sure come back.
May 29, 2024
Dr. Vest was very knowledgeable, very professional. His manners were excellent and I really felt at ease using him for my doctor. I would highly recommend him for my family members and my friends.
May 28, 2024
Everyone from the receptionist, assistant and Dr. Vest were wonderful. Friendly, efficient and very knowledgeable. Dr. Vest is the best!
May 21, 2024
My nurse was also amazing!
May 20, 2024
My appointment was scheduled with Dr Vest. I did not see him at all during my visit. I was not told when I checked in for my visit that I was seeing his NP. This is not fair to the patient.
May 14, 2024
I would have given a 10 except they failed to send my prescription in after my visit so I need to call back a second time to try to get my prescription sent for my anti-inflammatory
May 14, 2024
I feel in good hands....no pun intended
May 13, 2024
They NP gave me great care. My toe does not hurt at all this morning. I couldn't be any happier.
May 08, 2024
It was a good visit
May 08, 2024
Ashley and Dr. Vest were very professional and listened to my concerns. They both answered all my questions...very happy with their service!!
May 01, 2024
Dr. Vest and his staff were wonderful. I felt like they really cared and wanted to help find a resolution to my concerns. I was extremely impressed with the staff and provider.
April 30, 2024
I was very happy with the experience with the foot and ankle clinic and the x-ray. They did a marvelous job. I'm already healing and feeling much, much better. If I could give you more than a 10, I would. Excellent in every respect. Everybody that I dealt with was phenomenal. Thank you so much.
April 29, 2024
It was nice
April 29, 2024
It was a great customer service, our receptionist, and I was seeing my baby was in a timely manner and all my questions were answered and the provider listened to me really well and also they were able to help my baby with what we went in for.
April 24, 2024
All individuals were excellent
April 23, 2024
She treated and gave me good options, I was happy.
April 23, 2024
I was disappointed because I thought my appointment was with my normal provider, Dr Vest. I saw Amy Tuzson and she was nice and knowledgeable. She identified that my insert was not made correctly. She told me she was going to go talk to Dr Vest and get the guy who works with the inserts. I thought Dr Vest would step in to confirm what she thought was wrong. I didn't see her again or Dr Vest. I didn't find out what was actually wrong with my foot (like strained ligament or muscle) or what to do to help it feel better. The insert guy (sorry I don't know his name) came and adjusted my insert and then my visit was over. I got home frustrated that I didn't know what exactly was wrong, how long it'll take to heal or what to do to help it. So I emailed. She did respond quickly. I followed up with questions and I'm waiting to hear back on what's physically wrong with me. I'm sure she'll respond quickly. She responded within an hour yesterday. I just wish she would've told me these things. I thought Dr Vest was coming in the room so I didn't think to ask her the rest of my questions.
April 22, 2024
Very efficient
April 17, 2024
I saw Dr. Vest, Joshua Vest, and talked about my foot fungus. I would like to know how to get a hold of him sometime to ask him about a prescription that I didn't get to fill with a topical ointment that I got the perspiration control stuff at CVS, but I did not get the fungal treatment solution. And I'm wondering if it got forgotten or if it was something to do with insurance and I would like
April 16, 2024
entire staff was very patient, respectful and professional.
April 15, 2024
Good experience!
April 10, 2024
I am glad that my ankle is being taken care of. Finally God bless your service.
April 10, 2024
Very informative, great bed side matter, fantastic nurse, & receptionist!
April 10, 2024
Don't put in your Notes that you told me things you did not mention. Not important, but Kearney & Holdrege are south central NE not western.
April 09, 2024
This was my first time seeing a podiatrist. I felt like everything was explained well including the benefits of the recommendations that were given to me. I plan on coming back to continue to make sure my feet are in the best condition possible. Thank you.
April 08, 2024
Got in and got out in a timely fashion. Thanks.
April 03, 2024
I've needed this done for years and I've been so anxious about it for weeks, but everyone from the second I walked in the door until I was making the check up appointment was world class in soothing those fears and helping me start the process of healing. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area who needs work done with their feet.
April 01, 2024
Long process, check in 15 before appointment time. Saw 4 diff employees through the process. Didn't see the Dr. till an hour after my scheduled appointment time. Was there hour and half total time. Be nice to know it's a lengthy process.
March 19, 2024
I really like Dr Vest. He has listened to me and given me good recommendations. The last visit I had my only dilemma was the wait. Was taken back within a couple of minutes of arriving. But waited just over 20 mins in the room.
March 19, 2024
Terrific! Had questions the next day , called, they called back in a timely fashion and answered my queries. Highly recommend.
March 13, 2024
I loved my nurse she was very kind and sweet and did the best job possible with my stubborn toe
March 13, 2024
No waiting and excellent care
March 12, 2024
From being greeted by Darla at the front desk to being treated by Angie I was very pleased.
March 06, 2024
Everyone in this office was so friendly and welcoming. It is what I have come to expect from Bryan Healthcare and they did not disappoint.
March 05, 2024
Was glad the issue of the toenails with serious fungus issues could be taken care of the day of our first visit.
March 04, 2024
I was to have a call back by mid afternoon. I called 2x and sent a message via one chart w/ no response. My MRI was to addressed a d I drove 1:45 minutes for absolutely nothing useful. Very upset with how this was handled.
February 28, 2024
Everyone from front desk, CNA, APRN and Doctor were very friendly, knowledgeable and kind through the process of my first visit??
February 20, 2024
Dr. Vest is the best. He's the goodest guy. I know he definitely knows what he's doing. Thank you for the recognition from Dr. Boehart to Dr. Vest, and thank him, and God bless you, and bless him, Dr. Vest is good. Thank you, and have a blessed day.
February 20, 2024
I saw 3 providers in this 2/20/24 visit. First Nadine who is wonderful. Next I saw Angie who was excellent. Lastly I briefly saw Terry who is always great.
February 20, 2024
Good visit.
February 20, 2024
I've already recommended the business to a friend.
February 19, 2024
Dr. Vest was very professional and listened to all of my concerns.
February 19, 2024
I left his office ? percent better
February 13, 2024
Dr. Vest and the entire staff were amazing!!! Great experience!
February 13, 2024
I know it's probably hard to keep on schedule. My appointment was 1:30 and I saw Dr at 2:20. Just giving some feedback. Otherwise very pleased with visit
February 12, 2024
It would be nice to have Insurance help with orthotics. Apparently, Medicare and Insurance have not heard that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Could the Foot And Ankle industry help in this way? Thank you. PS desk was very helpful in getting me admitted and explaining things
February 12, 2024
The worst ever. Doesn't remove my mom's callous. Lazy and irresponsible. I do not recommend this guy, at all.
February 07, 2024
Always well done Dr Vest
February 06, 2024
I left filled with great hope. Great bedside manners, friendly and knowledgeable.
January 31, 2024
Completely satisfied
January 29, 2024
Yeah, I had a really good experience. The doctors got me in and out of the office in a timely manner and my surgery is healing really well and they also had very good communication skills. And what would the other group be like?
January 29, 2024
Good people and very caring.
January 23, 2024
I was told that a prescription for Urea lotion for daily use on my calluses would be submitted to my pharmacy, but it's been over a week and the pharmacy has not received the order even though I have called Capital Foot and Ankle twice. Still no prescription or response from CF&A.
January 17, 2024
Dr. Vest provided good information and was outstanding in establishing rapport.
January 03, 2024
I appreciated the fact that Dr. Joshua M. Vest acted like he had all the time in the world to spend with me and that he explained everything to me and what had happened during my fall and that he also explained to me that because of the diabetes there was a doctor to see for shoes and I'm hoping that when I see him next time he'll refresh my memory on who that is. But anyway I was just thoroughly impressed with him and his manner and I appreciated everything he did for me. Thank you very much Dr. Vest.
December 27, 2023
The folks @ this clinic are very kind & helpful. Asking if I have any questions & answering any that I have. Love these people:))
December 20, 2023
I think there was an issue that day with a staff meeting that was going until 1:15 and appointments were supposed to be starting at that time. This means that patients are showing up at 1 pm as instructed to check-in. I do not have mobility problems, but I noticed other folks did and had no place to sit while they were waiting. I would just recommend moving the appointments back or holding the meeting sooner, or having someone on deck to check folks in. Not only is the provider's time important, but patients and those that will now be late for the day.
December 19, 2023
The office was very busy, which contributed to the delay. Multiple staff apologized for the delay.
December 18, 2023
We didn't actually see Dr. Vest. We saw a PA. She did a quick consult before we saw Terry. Terry did a great job explaining everything to us.
December 18, 2023
We were met with kindness and professionalism. The nurses and the receptionists were great to work with and all the technicians and the doctors treated us like we were the most important thing at that point in time for them to work with.
December 13, 2023
Yes, I didn't get to see Dr. Vest, but the nurse practitioner saw me and gave me some good options to think about. I rate her highly. She's good. And I had Sarah for doing the nail trimming, which was badly needed. And she did an excellent job. Just want to let you know that.
December 13, 2023
I always feel like Dr. Vest listens to me and that he offers alternatives which are more positive, rather than directly recommending surgery or something else. So, I appreciate that. And then having Terry as an orthotist has been amazing. He does a great job. So, Thank you.
December 12, 2023
Dr. Vest was very personable and seemed genuinely interested in my health concerns. He demonstrated understanding of my condition and the potential solutions. I do have a couple of follow-up questions.
December 06, 2023
They were professional and very friendly which I appreciated. Thank you
December 06, 2023
Made me completely comfortable,
December 05, 2023
Kind,courteous and professional
December 05, 2023
Dr. Vest was very professional in examining my foot issue and providing proper treatment to take care of it. He also did a thorough exam of my feet and told me that they were in really good shape. With me being a diabetic, that was important to hear. I would highly recommend Dr. Vest to anyone searching for a good "foot & ankle" doctor!!
December 05, 2023
Dr. Vest was super easy to talk to and didn't rush the appointment like other providers I've had. Also, Ashley, the nurse, was a good time. Keep her around :)
December 04, 2023
Dr. Vest was very attentive and caring . Everyone was very knowledgeable and respectful.
