My impression of DR. Pulan is that he comes very highly recommended from my cardiologist my vascular doctor and my primary care physician. The minute I met him I knew he was the guy for me as I have been dealing with a different doctor at Frederick Foot And ankle who has just left me too, brought away on my right foot and my peripheral artery disease on my right leg. I have an appointment with him on Friday and I can’t wait to see what he has planned. I had catheterization and three stents placed on Wednesday. Since Dr Schulick❤️ provided that service for me three stents and a successful angiogram with ballooning from my groin to my ankle, the swelling has decreased. The night of the surgery date was very painful and my pain was managed through Surburban Hosp and around 3 AM. They finally got a handle on it. Today was very sore as I was encouraged to put a little weight on it and walk on it a little bit, but it is swollen up 1/3 larger than usual in the ankle and the top of the foot area. Also, the calves on both sides are burning as I believe peripheral artery disease is on both sides and I’m looking forward to seeing the good doctor on Friday to see if we can reduce some of this pain and swelling. Dr. Polun seems to be exactly the guy that I’m looking for with the experience that I need in a Podiaitrist as my last couple have an attitude like well put some honey on it and then cover it and I’ll see you in five weeks with no wound care or any other kind of care to treat my ulcerated toes and foot. Dr. Poland has my phone number and can leave me a message here at Surburban Hosp even if I don’t pick up he can leave a voicemail as I will get to it eventually, but I could be anywhere in the hospital for some sort of procedure or CT scan or procedure. I have full confidence that Dr. Poland will be my last podiatrist as I believe in him after only knowing him for a short while. But I do see the way other podiatrists put the Band-Aid on put the honey on cover it and tell you to go away for five weeks so they can tell the same thing to the next 50 patients. Don’t get me wrong. The doctor at Frederick Foot And ankle was awesome as far as his personality just too busy to see me on a regular basis or to even receive phone calls. He did the amputation of the fifth to couple years ago, but not before the skin infection deep thrombosis got under the 3rd toe and took it out and I had another procedure “amputation” to have the fourth to amputated now the 4th has gangrene halfway up the toe and I feel that I will probably lose it. to

I'd been to 2 other podiatrists earlier this year and they couldn't figure out why my Foot hurt. Dr. Polun sure did though. Such a smart and caring Dr. He treats you like a friendand not just another appointment. He also is really good at giving injections when needed. Barely felt a thing. So glad a friend referred me to him.

Dr. Dubon and staff were very kind. Dr. Dubon explained everything he was doing. This is my 6th time at this practice and I have seen 3 different doctors because of scheduling conflicts. This practice was recommended to me and I am happy to recommend them to others.

Dr. Franklin Polun has been our "beyond expectation/going that extra mile" kind of a foot doctor for my parents. Given my Dad's serious health condition, Dr. Polun always gave his best priority and attention to my Dad's foot care. Whether Dad was in ER, surgery, or struggling at home, we could always count on Dr. Polun to be there every step of the way. In addition, Dr. Polun's laser treatment for my Mom's toenail was excellent. We are extremely grateful to God that my parents had an opportunity to receive not only top notch foot care, but also a heartfelt and unrelenting dedication from Dr. Franklin Polun.

First Dr.Polun is the greatest. He listened to me and was very patient with all of my issues. The office is very nice. Open and clean. The staff are the best group of people I’ve seen in a Doctors office environment (and I’ve seen a lot). So if you’re looking for wonderful experiences for your foot and ankle care go see Dr. Franklin Polun. It’s the best thing you will ever do for yourself and your feet.

Dr. Polun and the staff at National Foot & Ankle are simply top notch. I had Lapiplasty and the Koutsogiannis (Kutz) calcaneal osteotomy performed on my right foot/ankle 5/31/24 and left foot/ankle 8/9/24. The surgery and recovery process was much easier than anticipated and I look forward to enjoying all of the physical activities I've been missing out on for the past 20 years. In addition to the surgery, I also had cold laser therapy MLS treatments which helped tremendously. I highly recommend the treatments to ANYONE recovering from an injury or dealing with pain. Dr. Polun and his staff are phenomenal. They are amazing, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Dr. Polun is one of the best Doctor's I've seen!

Dr. Polun performed the Lapiplasty 3-D procedure on both of my feet. He provided detailed explanations of the surgery, care plan, and aftercare instructions. Dr. Polun is attentive, always happy to address questions and concerns, and prompt in returning calls and emails. He truly goes above and beyond for his patients. The 3-hour trips to his office was absolutely worthwhile. I can’t recommend Dr. Polun enough!

Dr. Polun is the best Foot Doctor ever. He saved my husband's foot not once, not twice, but three times. My husband went to another hospital and they wanted to cut his foot off. We opted for a second opinion. We found Dr. Polun and he said I can save it! He not only saved it once, but three times. He truly cares for his patients and takes time from the beginning to the end to be there every step of the way! Dr. Polun was sent from God to save my husbands foot/feet. If you don't have him as your foot dr, you are in the wrong place. He cares about his patients, I know I said this before but he truly does. Some Doctors will treat you and send you on your way, not Dr. Polun, he will check up on your progress, he will recommend treatments/shoes he cares about your overall health. I can go on and on about how awesome Dr. Polun is. I am so greatful that he was the Doctor for my husband, he has both his feet and he is walking fine! Thank you Dr. Polun a patient for life if needed.
