Kudos To The FOX LAKE Office

"NIF&AS is a very professional & pleasant practice. The range of experience is outstanding. I highly recommend visiting them the next time you need these services." Roland
"Excellent! The communication was smooth, friendly, and professional, from scheduling to reception. I cannot say enough about Dr. Bochat's professional competence, warmth, caring, and concern. I traveled a long distance to avail myself of her services."Chub
"5 stars!!!!! I thought I had an appointment with them because I had an appointment with another foot doctor, and it wasn’t the right place, so I was a walk-in. The receptionist was so kind, helpful, and very accommodating. I explained my situation, and they squeezed me in. The doctor was super nice and very professional. Love this place and recommend them highly."Diane
"If I could give Dr. Statkus(opens in a new tab) 10 stars I would. What a wonderful, caring, and attentive doctor. My son, who is an athlete and just starting his basketball season, was injured during a tournament and was devastated, thinking his season was over. Dr. Statkus spent time with us explaining his injury and prognosis, giving him hope during a very hard time. Truly thankful to have found this facility and doctor. I would recommend it to anyone!!"Emily
