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.

Permanent damage
Had a neuroma removed. Prescribed amoxicillin even thought I told him I need a stronger antibiotic. So he gave me three more rounds of it. Then, bacterium . The overuse of antibiotics gave me methane SIBO and I have a hole in my foot that won’t heal. It has destroyed my quality of life. My foot flares up and four year later he offers to give me muprocin which is a topical ointment. Would have been great if I had been given this to begin with. Now I’m left to suffer and he can’t do anything to help me. Won’t even prescribe a callous softener to prevent skin buildup. Feels like I’m walking on a rock.

I cancelled my second surgery with him.
I wish I would have never let him touch me.

Unprofessional
7 mins late for an appointment and he canceled. I have waited over half an hour for him. My time is just as valuable. Rude and Uncaring staff. Has an infected ingrown toenail nail and this would have been my third such appointment to address this. It should have been a one-time treatment but he wanted to be conservative . I think he just wanted to collect insurance payments. Left me in pain for six months...

Staff is rude and when an issue arises after surgery your concerns are not addressed just because he’s not in that day. Horrible experiences

Dr. was highly recommended by hospital and other health care providers. I had a severe broken foot, I broke 3 metatarsal bones and dislocated 4 toes. I was in very bad shape and required surgery. Dr. Corcoran made immediate adjustments to his schedule to do my surgery. Prior to doing the surgery he said I may require multiple surgeries and or a fusion. After the first surgery he was confident that I would not need more surgeries. He did such a great job I could not be happier. Very professional, friendly and likeable doctor and follows up with his patients. I am so happy I found him I highly recommend Dr. Corcoran if you have a foot problem, or need surgery. Joan his nurse was wonderful as well friendly and very compassionate to my needs. I don't think I'd be walking today if not for your expertise. Thank you Dr. Corcoran!

I can't believe he has a license to practice medicine! He left my foot deformed, I limp and I'm in pain all the time. It has been confirmed by other physicians, he performed an unnecessary, aggressive and outdated surgery on me. It shouldn't be legal!!!

I had one big toe ingrown nail procedure back in November by another doctor and yesterday, the other big toe done by Dr. Corcoran. OMG what a difference. My latest experience was night and day different. Awesome staff, awesome everything. No pain in the numbing of the toe. No pain in the procedure. Day one better than before.. I cannot say enough good things!!!

At first things went well. Great first surgery. Then the second was kind of ok then went south. My foot had reoccurrence and he said there was nothing else I could do. Real quick and short answer. I moved to the city and I’ve been trying to get my records for continuing care. I am walking on a dislocated toe and btw there is another option to help me. I’ve gotten a second and third opinion and there again is other options. Staff is being short and after two and three calls staff is still rude

Expected more attention and pre and post surgical information. Was surprised that recovery supplies or support splint was not provided after the surgery. Felt that I was alone in the process. Not confident on the results. Physician and staff have a warm demeanor.

When discussing my surgucal options, Dr.Corcoran drilled in the following ways: He asked if I had diabetes YET? I am overweight so he condescendingly asked me that. He then went on to talk, with great emphasisn about how he only will give me a two week supply if oxytocin after surgery. I have chronic pain due to both of my knees (and now my ankle) deteriorating. This is a genetic condition. He was stressing this as iwif he thought I am an addict. Go elsewhere.
