Dr Maker and his assistant, Krysten, took great care of me when I came in with extreme foot pain. I found them through a Google search and was able to schedule a same day appointment!! They were pleasant, efficient and thorough. I left feeling satisfied with good care and by evening, my pain had subsided significantly! Highly recommend this practice.

Dr Maker and Krysten are fantastic! He is very knowledgeable and has great bedside manner. I’ve been given the run around trying to figure out an ankle problem for 2 years and he immediately knew what the problem was. Highly recommend!

Dr. Maker is a superb clinician and a surgeon. I had a pleasure of being his colleague and having my children treated by him for their foot issues. He had a great bedside manner, deep knowledge of disease process and uses cutting edge treatments. His surgical outcomes are superior to his peers. You will be in great hands with Dr. Maker! The Pittsburgh community just gained a phenomenal doctor with lots of experience!

Dr. Maker took amazing care of me during a very difficult time when I broke my foot. It was a severe break and dislocation that he put back together and it healed quicker than expected. He was very thorough and explained everything for me to understand. He went so far as to make arrangements to see me during his busiest times as need d. He listened and treated me like a family member. He is a good hearted guy and I am forever thankful for the care I received. Thanks again Dr. Maker!
