"My family has seen Dr. Holcomb for nearly 8 years. My 2 daughters and I have had everything from minor procedures to major surgeries and he has always taken great care of us. Dr. Holcomb is the only person we trust with our foot care!"
Nancy B.
I have been a patient of Dr. Timothy Holcomb for over 5 years. His care has made me feel that I was a member of his family and that he truly cares about how I feel and my care plan. His bedside manner and approachability take all of the stress and anxiety out of the appointment. He goes above and beyond for you as a patient and will work to find the solution that works best for you.
