Kathleen Marie Halat

Future patients should be warned. I had a poor outcome with Dr. Halat and she withheld the true extent of the poor surgical result by trying to be as charming and noncommittal as possible while buying time. Afterward, I found I was soft-blacklisted at PAMF and found that other doctors in town I went to see to try to get information about my poor outcome had been "backchannel" contacted to not give me a straight story about what happened and why. Apparently this is called the "white coat of silence." I learned the hard way that these people are very practiced in dealing with these situations in ways that minimize liability to them and their colleagues while further harming hurt patients and utilizing cheap temporary emotional currency instead of working to make things right. It is truly reprehensible behavior.

Made appointment in a timely fashion. Dr. Halet treated the heel pain by taking X-Rays to eliminate possibility of bone fracture, giving a steroid shot for the pain, giving advice and demonstration for massage and stretching techniques. Also, advised icing. I received written instructions. All questions answered and I left with a clear and detailed idea of what to do to heal myself. I feel like the pain issue was more than adequately addressed.

She really knows her stuff.. worked with me to try non surgical options and was realistic about what to expect... in the end far exceeded all my expectations! Here’s to being on my feet again! She is kind thoughtful and very responsive.

Yes would recommend every time! She has been so knowledgeable responsive and not quick to cut.... great doc... so glad to have found her!

Dr. Halat was PERFECT! I had Right 1st MTPJ Fusion surgery by Dr. Halat, and the entire experience was perfect, Surgery was great, I was able to walk out of the hospital with just the boot and didn’t need any cane or crutches. I had no pain during the first few days while on pain meds and no pain after quitting Norco. My foot has recovered faster than I expected. I highly recommend Dr. Halat.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Halat to anyone who asked me about a good podiatrist. She performs my yearly diabetes check ups, and also surgically removed a very large bunion that I had. Dr. Halat is very knowledgeable, professional, compassionate, and friendly. I never feel like "just another patient", because she is sensitive to my needs. My mom, sister, and brother-in-law also go to her and they don't have any complaints. I see a large variety of doctors, and she is my favorite.
