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 went to Dr. Weisenfeld for new orthotics for flat feet. When the orthotics were done they were not what I'd asked for: 3/4 length instead of full length. They also did not fit well and caused more discomfort than my old orthotics. I returned to Dr. Weisenfeld to have the orthotics adjusted but you cannot turn a 3/4 orthotic into full length, and the changes made the orthotics basically useless, providing no support. Rather than admit she had done a poor job and hadn't provided what we had discussed during the initial consult, Dr. Weisenfeld acted like my concerns were superfluous. Dr. Weisenfeld's "bedside manner" is very poor, she is impatient and condescending, and made disparaging comments about a nervous tic I have (gee, I wonder why I was nervous!). In the end, I was left with completely useless orthotics and no desire to deal with Dr. Weisenfeld further to get new ones. I ended up visiting my old podiatrist out of town instead, and now happily use off-the-shelf inserts.

Not only is Dr W friendly, compassionate and willing to listen, she is brilliant, a great doctor and wise. She was able to get me back on my feet and she saved me from terrific pain. I only wish that I could go to Dr W for all my medical needs! I was able to get a same day appointment and was in and out! No waiting time. Her staff is awesome too!!

Dr. Weisenfeld has treated everything from ingrown toenails to shockwave therapy for plantar fasciitis to surgery for Morton's Neuroma. I would not trust my feet to anyone else.

I travel a long way to see her because she is the best! I have had 4 ingrown toenails permanently fixed and orthotics made. She is terrific at making sure they fit properly and redoing till they are right! I highly recommend this health care professional. Plus she is a genuinely very nice person.

Dr Weisenfeld staff is very incompetent. They had me scheduled at a surgery center that was out of my network & if I didn't do my own research & found out that the Dr does surgery at other centers that are within my network, then I would've ended up paying $300 out of pocket & an additional 30% of the cost of the surgery. With the info I found now I'm paying zero $$$...everything is 100% covered by my insurance. When I pointed this all out to the Drs assistant she was very nonchalant about it

While Dr. Weisenfeld herself is an excellent doctor, she unfortunately has a very disorganized and highly unprofessional staff. That poor staffing will end up costing patients extra money due to their incompetence. Also, I was recommended to see a surgeon by the doctor. Unbeknownst to me, that doctor was out of my network, and he felt I did not even need his consultation. A waste of my time and money.
