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.

He left me disabled
I have pain and disability now that I never had before my hammertoe surgery. And because he omitted my testimony in his follow up reports, there is no record that I told him that I was still in pain and could no longer hike or work at my pre-surgery ability. My foot is deformed, and I live with pain now. Beware.

Dr. Kerzner is fantastic! I drive 4 hours each way to get to his office and would never consider seeing anyone else! He is very friendly and very professional. He explains things in layman’s terms to make sure patients and family understand about procedures and treatments. I would recommend anyone that has feet problems to see him!
