Dr. David Gitlin, DPM

The absolute best foot doctor to go to! The most professional and knowledgeable!

I could not have asked for a better surgeon than Dr. Gitlin. I had a major reconstructive surgery where he lengthened my Achilles tendon, moved my posterior tibial tendon to the side that was not working anymore, and did a fusion to help stabilize my foot. The knowledge he has is endless, and he really takes the time to ask questions about your issues and gives all possible outcomes very honestly without sugar coating anything. He was ALWAYS available whenever I needed any reassurance or to talk through anything I was nervous about. I have more stability in my foot, and for the first time in my life I am walking heel toe how a normal person should. Him and his receptionist Jennifer are two of the most caring, hardworking, and honest people I have ever been lucky enough to work with in my health journey. I cannot thank him enough for all he has done for me, and I will always be grateful for of the care he showed before, during, and after my surgery.

I have recommended him and will again .

The front line tells me a lot. His office manager, Alexandra, was knowledgeable, helpful and prepared me for an exceptional consultation with Dr. Gitlin a week prior. I was not disappointed. Dr. Gitlin fires on all cylinders whether he's mapping out the medical strategy or getting to the heart of the matter with his patient. I am confident that this surgery and recovery is in good hands with Dr. Gitlin and his team.

Dr Gitlin is one of the best doctors I have ever had. He is genuinely concerned about his patients well being. He performed my surgery to repair a torn lisfranc ligament. He was amazing from pre op, to the day of the surgery, and thru the follow up appointments. Having offices on Long Island and in the City also made seeing him very convenient. I would 100% recommend Dr Gitlin to anyone! I wish there were more doctors like Dr Gitlin.

Dr. Gitlin is the best Foot Doctor out there ,his only concern is to help his patients get well and he is great at that he is honest and direct never make outrageous promises ,He is a awesome person....

He is just wonderful. He is caring and very reassuring. He knows his specialty.

Dr. Gitlin is truly a amazing surgeon. I recently suffered a catastrophic leg break. He was able to get me in to take x-rays and consult with him personally. We were able to do major surgery last week and I suffering no pain. The care and attention which Dr. Gitlin, his staff and his residents took with my case will stay with me for the rest of my life. I would not hesitate to recommend to Dr. Gitlin to anyone who wants the best care and the best surgeon.

Dr Gitlin is a highy rated surgeon but I have no idea why. I went to meet with him and he never examined me. I met with a resident and a med student. The resident didn't feel it was necessary to discuss anything with me and after a 5 minute convo with him and no x-ray, just listening to my complaints he said I should have a highly complicated surgery. There was no explanation of what it would entail, and the resident was shocked when I wouldn't schedule the surgery right there and they

Need serious, complex foot/ankle surgery?He's your man!!!!

Dr. Gitlin is an excellent doctor . Very knowledgeable and his bedside manner is perfect. He goes above and beyond for his patients . He did surgery on my foot and though the whole recovery I had full access to him and everything he said happened. Dr. Gitlin also explained my surgery to me and also my father at the hospital. He is also now treating my husband . There should be more doctors like him .
