10 out of 10. Dr. Sheedy was excellent. I highly recommend.
I was able to get a same day appointment for an urgent problem with my 4 week old infant. The problem with my daughter’s toe was resolved within 2 days, which brought me great relief. I am extremely grateful for the gentle, yet expert care that we received. The doctors are top notch. Highly recommend this practice. Thank you!
I am so thankful to have found Dr. Szypczak after months of pain and infection from a botched ingrown toenail procedure in Florida!
The result was night and day! I was so pleased. Dr. Szypczak has a calm, patient and reassuring manner. She removed the part of the toenail the first podiatrist had left behind (nearly a third of the ingrown edge) including the part beyond the lower cuticle!
The whole procedure was painless, as was my toe a day later. This time it hasn’t bled since the first bandage was replaced, not has it hurt in the 6 days since the procedure! She was wonderful! I even went dancing before the first week was up!
I would recommend Dr. Szypczak to anyone. She is very skilled and wonderful!!

After a week of of having pain on my pinky toe ,Dr Rehm treated my toe and gave me advice on what to do to continue the healing process. After just an hour of leaving his office the pain in my toe was gone. Thank you Dr Rehm ! You and your staff where outstanding!
Dr Rehm did a very thorough and effective job, explaining everything to me, and listened to what I had to say. His assistant, Allie, is very capable and skilled, as well as warm and easy to interact with. Good experience all the way through, from scheduling to checkout.
Excellent experience. Dr Rehm is very understanding and takes the time to explain all remedies and procedures. The front office staff and assistants are extremely nice and personable. They all run a great office.
Excellent experience…staff was professional and very concerned about our welfare. Excellent follow-up. From the staff who book your appointments to the nurses to the doctor there was a true desire to get you better with no future problems. Gave you as much time as you needed and they never gave you the feeling of being rushed.
I highly recommend this practice. The staff was very friendly, fast and efficient. The office is in a good location with easy parking. Dr. Tom Rehm took the time to throughly explain the issues that have been causing my foot pain and gave me good instructions on the actions to help correct it.
My experience with Dr Sheedy was a godsend. After seeing 2 other specialists and having foot pain so severe I could barely stand, let alone work. Dr Sheedy not only diagnosed my condition but offered a plan of treatment that had me up and walking in 2 days! I also wanted to shout out to Melissa for following through on the processing of my orthotics. It was not her role but she took the initiative to solve my problem. One happy camper.
After spending thousands of dollars since 2015 to address pain in my big toes, I finally found a podiatrist who has the skills to permanently remove my nail plates/matrices. Previous doctors tried removing portions of the nails and used phenol to make it a “permanent” thing, but none of them were successful. These procedures led to horribly dysfunctional nails that continued to grow in abnormal ways. Two podiatrists denied my pleas to remove the entire nail once and for all on both toes; they said I’d regret the aesthetic later on. Nope–no vanity here! Years of pain and the unpleasant/debilitating process of going through the surgeries (albeit minor in the grand scheme of medicine) will all be behind me, thanks to Dr. Jennifer R. Szypczak at Appalachian Foot & Ankle. I highly recommend visiting this practice if you want aggressive solutions to long-term issues.
Dr. Rehm is one of the most understanding and kind physicians I have ever had. Over the years he has been so helpful in my medical care and I would recommend his practice to anyone.
Dr. Rehm is excellent. After being misdiagnosed earlier this year by a Orhtodpedic Surgeon. Dr, Rehm “ listened” to my issues with my food and discovered that I had a torn tendon, “not” arthritis as previously diagnosed by another orthopedic foot specialists. Dr. Rehm has a wonderful bedside manner and I felt very confident and at peace with the decision to have surgery on my foot. In my research and feedback from multiple health professionals, I heard nothing but positive feedback about Dr Rehm’s skills. in addition the efficiency of the office staff from Payton, his assistant, to front desk check out person, Arlene, I can’t say enough about their kindness. I highly recommend Dr Rehm and his staff if you are looking for outstanding care.
After a terrible experience with a different Podiatrist, I went to Appalachian Foot and Ankle for a second opinion. Not only did Dr. Szypczak conduct herself in the most professional manner, her and her staff were cordial, understanding, accommodating, and were able to get me in the same day. I highly recommend this practice. I personally don’t read 5-star reviews for fear of the review being solicited, however this practice is certainly 5-star worthy and I look forward to seeing them in the future until my foot & ankle are healed.
Can’t say enough about Tom Rehm at Appalachian Foot & Ankle. He’s super knowledgeable, patient, thorough, and kind. He takes time to ask questions and listen, so he can discern what’s going on, then is extremely effective at communicating recommendations. We’ve always appreciated that he’s eager to try the least invasive approach first. Finally, if you need an expert in kids sports and dance injuries, Tom is absolutely the person. Can’t recommend him enough!
This practice is great! They got me in quickly, and all the front office staff are friendly and efficient. Alan and Dr. Constanzo are wonderful. They both take plenty of time to listen to my concerns and talk me through a treatment plan. I actually look forward to coming to see these folks!
After 6+ months of unsuccessfully trying to get help from 3 doctors in East Tennessee. And doctors not listening to me. I desided to search the web. I came across Appalachian Foot And Ankle. I called and Dr Matthew Sheedy was able to see me the next day. I had already had a MRI. I took it along with me. Along with 4 pages of notes of my personal history with my foot. Dr.Sheedy sat and listened and and spent time reviewing my MRI with me. He didn’t look it over in his office or in the hallway. He did it right there in the exam room. After asking me a few questions he had me diagnosed with Tarsel Tunnel Syndrome. He explained what TTS is and I could have been more relieved. I finally found MY doctor. He hit the nail on the head. I had 9/10 of the symptoms. I had been so discouraged the past year thinking I was never going to figure out what was wrong with my foot. Dr.Sheedy did my surgery and am now healing. The pain from surgery is no where near the pain I was having before the surgery. I am so thankful for Dr.Sheedy and his staff and office staff. They are all wonderful. They all make me feel so welcome. The wait times for my appointments have been very quick. I don’t think I ever waited 5 min in the waiting room or exam room. I have to drive 1 & half hours to get to their office, but I would drive 10. They are worth the drive.
The culture at every level of Appalachian Foot & Ankle Associates is outstanding with regard to friendliness, professionalism, and receptivity to patient concerns. Arlene took my call and arranged a prompt evaluation as a new patient. Nursing care was excellent. I was seen promptly by Dr. Szypczak who has an excellent bedside manner. Her history and physical examination were thorough. She is careful and gentle. The operative procedure was completely painless.Instructions for care and follow-up were clearly explained. My care was outstanding.
