Dr. Cain was very friendly and took the time to explain everything. He answered all my questions in a thoughtful and easily understood manner. Great experience for something I was not looking forward to doing.

You have a treasure with Dr. Cain. I have seen numerous podiatrists in the past with a problem that no one could provide a diagnosis with each visit. Dr. Cain spent a great amount of time with me and was able to explain just what the problem was based on my symptoms and x-rays. I was so happy that finally I have an answer and options for treatment. I am writing this as a retired RN and I consider myself so lucky to have chosen him for my care.

Dr.Cain performed a total ankle replacement for me six months ago. He has been incredible through the entire process, from explaining X Rays and finding me websites to view the surgery, to helping me through the recovery and rehab. I have complete trust in him as my doctor, and am thankful that he was available for me at McFarland. His skills and knowledge of the foot and ankle have allowed me to fully walk without pain or anxiety. The best!

Dr. Cain was caring and informative. I have seen Dr. Cain once before. Both times I have been impressed with his ability to share information. I’m elderly, some practitioners dismiss elderly patients ability to comprehend and interact. Dr. Cain treats me as if I’m his most important patient of the day. I will be following his excellent advice. Thank you for having caring practitioners to care for Story County residents
