i'd been having escalating foot pain over the course of 2+ years, which finally reached a point of…read more"ouch lol guess this won't resolve on its own" status. dr. ciment was 1 of 3 doctors i saw, and he made the final cut ^___^. if you're untrusting like me (i prefer the term "openly skeptical while suspending judgment"), dr. ciment will surely acquiesce your doubts. i liked that he takes a very logical approach to treatment and diagnosis formation, while not overconfidently doling out surefire diagnoses after the first visit. i feel like that's a red flag when docs do that. also, if it would help anyone, i brought my collection of most worn shoes in to most recent visit. like an archeologist, dr. ciment studied the scuffed insoles of my tennis shoes, like hieroglyphics on an ancient stone wall. like a farmer reading the weather's future by way of the feel of her bones. like a tarot card reader, painting a story of what's to come (lol jk whatta scam). anyway, yeah, would highly recommend. also super responsive via digital communications, which is huge plus IMHO.

This review is for Dr. Evans and his staff -…read more I visited Dr. Evans because I was limping around with foot/ heel pain for the past 3 months. I couldn't take it anymore and realized it was getting worse so I said screw it - time to go to the doctor. First off, the ladies in the front office area are such sweethearts, very pleasant and are welcoming. Dr. Evans is pleasant himself and actually had a soft but witty personality. So I was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and a heel spur (greeaattt). He rendered his plan of action, told me to come back in 2 weeks and sent me home with "at-home" things to follow. 2 weeks later the pain was a little lessened and sporadic instead of everyday. I was honest that I didn't follow his at-home regimen the way I should have and he gave me the suggestion/ option to get a cortisone shot. I agreed to move forward if it was going to help me....3 minutes later he was back in the office prepping me for the shot in my heel. I took a deep breath, and although he was trying his best to be gentle - that thing HURT LIKE HELL!!! 2 days later - I was able to walk normally again, hop out of bed in the morning, run up and down the steps and dancing like Ginger Rogers :-) !!! So I returned 2 more weeks after that and still have not suffered the debilitating pain and really hope it doesn't return!! If it does - of course I will be more than happy to see Dr. Evans and his team again.

Two part review: one part for Dr. Evans himself and one for the office staff…read more Office Staff: One of the front desk staff is nice, the rest are queens of curtness and incompetence. One might think that helping others is a precondition to working in the health field, but not these ladies. For example, I can forgive the office manager her perpetually sour expression and maybe even her harsh way of speaking to patients. Harder to swallow is that she doesn't know how to handle billing. She tells you your insurance doesn't cover something, then you call your company and find out it does in fact cover the treatment but that the office submitted the wrong diagnostic code. You call the office manager back to give her the correct code and she acts defensive. Ultimately you have to call the doctor in and he quickly sorts everything out. She has a talent for making everything unpleasant and take longer then it needs to. I won't be going back as long as she works there. Dr. Evans: An affable if somewhat distracted guy. He glides in and out of the exam room pretty quickly so have your questions ready. Four stars for him if not for the train wreck of an office manager.

I was referred to this podiatrist for foot pain that I initially thought was a splinter. Imaging…read more(X-ray and MRI) did not show a foreign body, and I was told there was nothing to be done. However, the issue continued to grow and became more painful. A dermatologist later diagnosed it as a plantar wart and began treatment. When I attempted to follow up with the podiatrist, I was told by the office (on the day of my appointment) not to come in and to instead see my primary care doctor. My primary care doctor also examined it and agreed that it appeared to be a plantar wart and proceeded with treatment, and was confused why podiatry would not evaluate it. I was surprised by the lack of reassessment and the decision not to evaluate an ongoing and painful foot condition. I would have appreciated a more thorough follow-up or willingness to reconsider the diagnosis.

After l was told that she may not cut off my toe nails, l asked her nurse assign me to other podiatris. One nail was really causing me pain 8/10 level. But she had refused my petition. She came in to my room with a bossy attitude! High pitch voice, straight upset face. What scares me the most was her rushy hands movements on handling her cutting toes tools!!! I really wanted to say STOP YOUR SCARY NASTY RUSHY cutting process!!! But I stayed on the chair for there was her nurse. I thought she won't hurt me??? There's a witness. ASA she saw me, She stated: I dont have to cut your toe nails but I do it out of courtesy!!! These words really hurt me! I reminded myself that she's WRONG! She's saying for She's upset with me!!! This visit will be over SOON! But she didn't stop her mouth!!! She kept putting me down! She made me feel that I was pushing for care? She didn't care or she forgot I was in Pain!!! Sadly I had to ask her look on one nail that was dark. I thought it needed an Rx of her choice But she refused to offer any Rx!!! She stated that I must go to a pharmacy!!! Gosh I said to her ?what Rx i must for ? That I was seen in the past for this bad nail. I felt neglected of proper care. I still feel very hurt by Dr. Jasmine M. Catallano' s negative attitude and her refusal for offering me RX or referral for my bad toe nail.

I was scheduled for an appointment and arrived 15 minutes early to a very hot, crowded, small…read morewaiting room. The only available chair was blocked by someone in a wheelchair. I asked the receptionist how long a wait there would be (as I had a painful foot issue) and after checking she said about 45 minutes. I couldn't imagine standing in a hot waiting room for that amount of time. The very nice gentleman in the wheelchair offered to try to maneuver his wheelchair so I could get to the blocked seat. Anyhow, when I decided to leave I was asked if I wanted to reschedule??? What? I was scheduled. Don't schedule so many appointments near the same time to try to avoid this issue. At least offer me some room to sit in instead of having me stand for a long amount of time. I did like the doctor, but it is not worth it if I have to stand in a hot room for with an aching foot/ankle.

Located at a pretty convenient spot near the 6 train…read more I'm always super nervous when I see a doctor in the US, since there are just way too many things that could go wrong (especially insurance issues...The last time I visited another podiatrist, the receptionist tried to charge me over $250 for a quick consult!), but this was a great visit! The receptionist was SUPER friendly and nice (though I think the office manager was out sick that day...so not sure who was there, but it was the same person that took my blood), and I got to see the doctor within 20 minutes of being there. Dr. Isaacson makes you feel really comfortable and makes sure that all of your concerns are addressed. He also keeps the conversation light, so you kind of forget about being nervous :) When they took my blood, it was also super fast and painless, even though I don't have the easiest veins haha (props to the nurse!). There was no fuss about how much my copay was, which was a relief! Glad they took the time to really check out my insurance and make sure everything was OK.

He listens to your concerns and makes sure you don't leave until all your questions have been answered. This was my first time visiting a Podiatrist and I couldn't have asked for a better visit (except for me showing up late due to train problems that they were super nice about!) I work in Grand Central so with a combination of unsupportive sneakers and hard marble floors, I developed constant foot pain. During my visit, I found out it was plantar fasciitis. Dr. Collins explained to me what the disorder was and went over several options to treat it. After a cortisone shot, a split and some more knowledge on helpful morning and evening exercises for my foot, I felt confident leaving the office and knowing I won't have to struggle with foot pain much longer. Dr. Collins also ordered my customized shoe sole inserts for my shoes. These arrived in a couple weeks and I went back to the office for a follow up visit. Since then I have referred like everyone from my job to him! I will definitely continue going to Chelsea Foot & Ankle

The office is also very clean and forms are on the more concise side which is nice.
