Dr. Ratcliff’s Must-Have Shoes
OOFOS recovery footwear are my go-to! Made with revolutionary OOfoam technology, they reduce pressure on your feet and joints, and leave you feeling recharged. With remote work here to stay, I recommend buying a dedicated pair for inside, too.

I had a corn, and Dr. Ratcliff shaved it off and recommended some cream I could buy on Amazon. That was it! In and out. I waited a year to get this done because I was afraid it would hurt, but it didn't.Carolyn T.
Both the receptionist and Dr. Ratcliff are personable and professional and provide services that are above and beyond the norm! His receptionist was so helpful providing me with a sample RX that I was unable to refill over the Thanksgiving holiday!Peter Z.
After two weeks of home care on an angry toe, I called Dr. Ratcliff's office and was fortunate to get an appointment that afternoon. Doctor diagnosed a localized fungus that had lifted the nail and had caused an infection, and that surgery was necessary to restore health to the toe. Thirty minutes later I left the office with no pain, surgery complete, and a prescription for a topical fungus medication. Two days later, I'm back to wearing closed shoes. I'm very grateful for the results, the timely care, and the diagnoses and skill of a great practitioner.Linda M.
Dr. Ratcliff is a very nice and knowledgeable doctor. He's a good listener and he's very thorough. He addressed what I should do to alleviate my foot pain. Proper shoes, and padding and taping of my foot and toe to help the issue. I would highly recommend him.
