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.

The best foot doctor Caponigro for giving heel injections. Didn't even move or flinch or cry. He said I want you to lay down and close your eyes and don't look at the needle. Looking forward to my next heel injection on July 1 I reccomend any one to go to him.

Dr. Caponigro is very knowledgeable in this area and is extremely thorough during checkups. He did a fantastic job making me feel comfortable as the patient and also follows up to see how you are progressing. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable podiatrist; the staff was attendant and accommodating. The doctor’s diagnosis was clearly communicated.

Dr. Caponigro performed surgery on my left foot 10 years ago and I was totally satisfied with the results and treatment I received. This year had the same surgery on my right foot with the same satisfactory results. Could not be happier with his work. He is a professional and his office personnel are the same. I would recommend him to anyone. I actually moved from north Jersey to south Jersey and drove an hour and a half just to see him.
