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 met Dr. LaCava and his staff today. I was very impressed the moment my husband and I walked in. We were greeted with smiles and hellos from the girls at the desk and got us registered right away. The waiting room was very clean, spacious, and pleasant. We didn’t have to wait long at all before we were called back. The nurse came in and she was also very professional and kind. After taking X-rays ect. it wasn’t long before Dr. LaCava made his presence. I was very impressed with him immediately. He explained the X-rays and his plans of attack! He answered all of our questions and gave me a steroid shot to ease the pain and we set up a follow up appointment. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a podiatrist. I have a bunionette (tailor’s bunion) by my little toe and Hallux Rigidus in both big toes.

Straight talking, does what he says
I had toe nail fungus, and Dr LaCava gave some options, with comments regarding the actual results to be expected. I went with having my big toe nails removed, and it was the best way to go (as he suggested). I'm pleased with the results.

New patient
Staff are pleasant & helpful. Wait was longer than most visits. X-rays are done in house which is a plus. Dr. Lacava was pleasant, professional and easy to talk with about my issue. I was fitted for a walking boot, given instructions and given a follow up appointment. Definitely would recommend.
