I had a pretty pleasant experience here. Dr. Brian Kissel really took the time to explain to me my condition in a way I could understand it. Its nice to have a doctor that takes time with us old folks!

Ive tried 3 different podiatrists here - all of them terrible . I believe the last one caused infections in my big toes that did not exist before . Personally , I dont remember the cutting instruments being sterilized before the doctor cut my toenails . And I have Diabetes . The staff at the front desk is snotty . I counted 6 just standing around chatting . I tend to not be critical of doctors and their offices as they are usually top notch . Clean certainly . I can not recommend this place at all !

Dr. Charles Kissel is entertaining and very professional. My ingrown toenails had been causing me a lot of pain over many years and a relatively pain-free procedure and about two week recovery and theyre perfect. The staff is friendly and professional as well. Amazing!

Finally have relief! Dr. Shay is very skilled and patient friendly. He even worked with me to ensure I would not have to pay an arm and a leg for his prescription. It was 70% cheaper where he sent me than my normal pharmacy, and they even shipped it to me at my apartment with no extra charge. Highly recommend this practice.
