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 stopped going to Dr. Segalman because he was always trying to upsell me on products that weren't covered by my insurance. I switched to Dr. Dejesus in Naugatuck and have found a much better doctor. Every visit with Dr. Dejesus my feet are soaked in a whirlpool (not done at Segalman's office), he uses a toenail grinder which has a vacuum attachment on it (Dr. Segalman didn't have this when I last went there) and he doesn't try to sell me junk that I can't afford.

Dr. Segalman is the most incredible sport's medicine podiatrist in the world! No one else was able to cure my plantar fasciitis in both feet but him. He uses the same techniques that he would use on his pro players! He is so interesting and what a true nice guy with the best personality in the world! He is an absolute asset to the sport's medicine world!!!!!!!

Both doctors are great. Professional and thorough. However I am not fond of Cheryl and Erica ( both have bad attitudes) . I called a few times during office hours and lines where on service. Not good!!
