Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I had made an appt with Dr Tievsky to get updated orthotics as a newer tailor bunion had been causing me walking discomfort. He also was able to trim some toenails carefully, that I couldn't. I found his " bedside manner" was compassionate, focused and attentive to my foot issues. The office was spotless & staging patients during COVID was done well. The new orthotics needed one adjustment which his lab performed. The tailor bunion diminished and disappeared within a few months of wearing my orthotics. I will definitely refer Dr Tievsky.

I required surgery for a fractured Fibula over a year ago. Dr Alex Tievsky was highly recommended and from the moment I walked into his office I knew I was in great hands. His demeanor and bed side manner is calm, positive, thorough, attentive and so on. Truly cares about his patients and is highly recommended.

After I fell chasing my toddler and broke my foot my husband knew I needed to see a doctor right away. We called a couple of places and they were only able to see me the next day or later in the week. Finally when I called Dr. Tievsky’s office he was kind enough to accommodate me and see me within 2 hours. The office is very clean and they don’t overbook patients. I was told that the doctor doesn’t want more than one patient waiting in the waiting room because of COVID. Sure enough I was the only one in the waiting room. He took me in the room right away and when he found out I was pregnant had to change his approach to diagnose and treat my injury. He was very gentle and explained everything I needed to know and answered all my questions. I was very impressed with Dr. Tievsky’s bedside manner, he was kind, gentle and I didn’t feel rushed. I was able to call him with any questions I had. Six weeks later I’m all healed and I’m grateful to Dr. Tievsky. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Tievsky designed inserts for my shoes to alleviate an excruciating bunion problem....worked like a charm and I have avoided surgery for several years now. He spends as much time as needed to explain everything. I highly recommend him.

If you want to have the Hyprocure procedure done for your flat feet you must see Dr. Tievsky. I Wouldn’t recommend anyone else. Not only does Dr. Tievsky have extensive experience but he provided guidance and support through the whole process. I had no complications from the procedure and have arches for the first time. It’s simply a miracle. Thanks Dr. Tievsky!
