Andrew E. Lowy, DPM, FACFAS

This was my second visit to Dr. Lowy, this time to treat an ingrown toenail. I really like Dr. Lowy and the procedure went very smoothly. My only complaint: I had the procedure right before a long weekend, and got an infection. Dr. Lowy had no emergency backup, and hadn’t given me any preemptive antibiotic Rx, and I ended up having to go to urgent care. He would get 5 stars except for that.

Dr. Lowry was awesome. Great bedsides manner and more than willing to answer any question I had. He worked wonders with my foot Spurs. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else!

I was referred to Dr. Lowy by my primary care physician and a family member. I made an appt. with Dr. Lowy’s office and was greeted very kindly as a new patient.
It took some deep thought and consideration to make my decision, to go through with the recommended joint replacement surgery on my big toe. It would be a 4 – 6 week recovery. I am so very happy I went through with the surgery on Sept. 28^th, 2012.
I was very nervous prior to surgery, and at each office appointment. Dr. Lowy was extremely kind, reassuring and patient in answering all my many questions. He demonstrated total commitment and excellent communication in caring for me.
During my post-​op appt. Dr. Lowy gave me the encouragement and support I needed
for a healthy recovery. Once again, being very patient in addressing my concerns and questions. I am in my 5^th week of recovery and extremely happy with the results.
I would also like to mention the helpful, friendly, positive staff who work with Dr. Lowy.
I will always highly recommend Dr. Andrew Lowy to anyone who is having foot and ankle problems.

After airing ToeGate on facebook, my sister the nurse insisted I see a doctor for my big toe injury. Tripped. At home. Wish it was a more exciting story. Like I was a salsa dancing on a cruise ship when it hit an iceberg and I stubbed my toe. Or I was helping an old lady who fell on a moving sidewalk but just as I saved her from tumbling and surely sustaining a hip injury, I rammed my toe as the sidewalk ended. Or I was auditioning for the all male version of the Phoenix Rocketts and I wasn’t as graceful in heels as I once was…
Anyhoo…my visit got off to a dicey start as they had me in for Thursday and had Wednesday written down. So I waited in the swanky waiting room, big leather chairs, good magazines… no TV however and I was forced to listen to really slow music and it was quite hot in the waiting room so I was drifting in and out of sleep. Doctor came out said they would see me. My toe smiled.
The entire staff was helpful and friendly. I was in and out, including x rays in about 30 minutes. Toe not broken. Just a contusion. My toe smiled.
Thank you Unilocal.Thank you Gabi. For this foot friendly find!

Have you ever had major foot and/​or ankle pain? I have and it is not fun at all! As a matter of fact, it can be pretty miserable. Especially if you have an ingrown toenail and you have to put that puppy in a high heel… this was me when I moved to AZ a couple of years ago.
As you can imagine, I wanted to get this taken care of asap. So, I asked around for a podiatrist referral, but no one I asked had anyone to recommend. I took it into my own hands and consulted the Phoenix Magazine ‘Best Doctors’ edition… low and behold, there was an article there about Dr. Andrew Lowy. I was apprehensive about taking advice from a magazine, but it worked.
I hate doctors offices and hospitals as much or more than anybody I know. I hate giving blood, getting shots, taking medicine, etc… and I pass out pretty easily too. The experience of going to the doctor is never fun, but if you have to go, Dr. Lowy and his staff will make it as painless as possible…
From the initial phone call to set the appointment, the staff was actually friendly and prepared me for the visit. They made sure that I knew where the office was and that I had all of the paperwork that i needed to complete in advance. They called to confirm my appointment as well. (Unfortunately, this is not always the case I’ve found with other doctors, etc.).
Dr. Lowy has a great bedside manner. He is personable, sincere, and does not rush the visit… On top of that, he was able to get rid of my ingrown toenail and I haven’t had any problems since!
So, for anyone out there looking for a podiatrist, suffer no more… call Dr. Lowy today!
