I called them to be seen in reference to a foot issue. The receptionist stated that my insurance…read morewas accepted but she needed to verify and would call me the next day. She never called, any business that treats a potential customer this way shouldn't be doing business. I really was desperate to be seen and I was hoping they would have called back. I called another podiatrist and I was seen two days later. In a way I'm glad it worked out this as this podiatrist is great and has helped me with my issue.

I would be careful when it comes to giving payment. Ask them to check your insurance coverage or…read moreeven call insurance to confirm coverage. I came here and they over charged me $450 plus charged my insurance $895.00 as well. I was in pain so I decided to pay but when I questioned the receptionist she said because my insurance did not cover any procedures. - it was a 2 ingrown nails, it took the doctor max 7 min for both toes, but I never had one so it was painful for me. Few days later I receive claim detail letter from insurance and it clearly shows that I was only responsible for $150.00. I been calling the office manager from the Arlington location and no response and will not return my calls regarding my overcharge . In fact insurance has claimed that they have access to the data base to check proper payment but offices will try to collect cash from patients since it's fast payout. So be cautious when paying out of pocket Read the rest of the reviews!!

I highly recommend Empire Foot and Ankle. Dr. Abraham has treated me for several issues, including…read moreplantar warts, a foot sprain, and a problem with my toes rubbing together. Throughout every visit, he has been kind, professional, and genuinely caring. When treating my plantar warts, he never made me feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, which meant a great deal to me. He took the time to listen, explain everything clearly, and made sure I felt comfortable with my treatment. The office staff is wonderful as well. They have always been friendly, helpful, and patient when assisting me with my insurance and making sure I received everything I needed. It's clear that everyone in the office truly cares about their patients. If you're looking for a knowledgeable podiatrist and a caring team, I would absolutely recommend Empire Foot and Ankle.

Extremely disappointing experience with Empire Foot and Ankle. The front desk staff was…read moreincompetent, rude, and completely unprofessional. I was repeatedly left on hold for 10+ minutes, and getting a simple question answered felt unnecessarily difficult. The communication was a mess from start to finish. There was miscommunication between the doctor and the patient, as well as between the doctor and the office staff. I was given conflicting information and had to deal with the consequences of their lack of communication. A medical office should be organized, professional, and respectful of patients' time. Unfortunately, this office fell far short on all three. I do not recommend Empire Foot and Ankle.

Where do I begin. I arrived 10 minutes early since this was my first visit and knew I would have…read morepaperwork to fill out. I signed in and waited to be called and nothing, so at 10:30 I got up to let them know I was there for an appointment. The girl put her phone down and then proceeded to assist me. I was taken to a room. A doctor saw me after a nurse assisted with the basics I did schedule another appointment on my way out, knowing that I wouldn't show up and would be looking for a new podiatrist. First impressions are important and when someone walks through the door, especially a customer they should be greeted in assisted you should get on your personal cell phones on your personal time not during business because of this this doctor lost a customer.

DISHONEST and UNETHICAL. And the front staff hostile and don't know or won't do their jobs…read more First, The Dr wanted an MRI, that was in the initial authorization. The staff REFUSED TO READ THE AUTH. They had to go back to the VA which took months. Diagnostics are preauthorized. The staff refused to look for it and in the end got several letters telling them it was preauthorized. This was early OCTOBER! End result, I did not get the MRI until Feb or March! WTF! So their being lazy denied me care for five to six months. The Dr. requested PRT plasma rich therapy. It was aproved. AWESOME! Again their staff didn't have it, I had to download my records and send it to them and call the VA to resend it. No problem right? WRONG! I can hardly walk by then and its only gotten worse now. The Dr only gives me steroid injections that no longer work. Whats the point? Last visit, I say good news, and ask, "So what is the treatment plan?" \ She begins ranting, when I bring up the PRT, "The VA authorized it, but they won't pay it...they won't pay what its worth." WTF? You have an auth and a contract. She now says, "Amniotic therapy is what I want to do, but you have to pay for it. Because the VA won't!" WTF! She had an auth that was aproved and now she doesn't want to do it and wants to do something that is not and that insurance won't cover to be paid under the table. That is highly questionable. I again ask, "What is the treatment plan." Again she rants, "I ordered braces and that which you will have to pay for....thats the plan." To date there have been no requests for braces and no request for additional care. At the conclusion of that apt, I ask, "So how long before a followup" she replies, "As needed" that is not an answer. Since steroids no longer work and there are no requests for braces or other care. So she is doing unethical practices in my book. Buyer Beware! I have reported them to the inspector general and they are now very interested.

Based on bad reviews, I was scared to come to this office, but I have been blown away at how…read moreawesome Dr. Boykins and his staff are. I really don't understand these other low reviews. I'm a harsh no nonsense reviewer and I've given more bad reviews than good. I've been here 3 times and would give them 10 stars if I could. Doctor: Have seen about 5 different podiatrist in the past 5 years. By a mile, Dr. Boykins is the best. He genuinely cares for his patients and it shows in his outstanding bedside manner. He loves his job and taking care of people, unlike the other jerk Doctor that I went to in Moreno Valley. Dr. Boykins is very thorough in examining you and getting a full medical history and doesn't mind spending extra time with you to listen to you, which is something you hardly see in any other doctors these days. He's very calm, relaxed, and makes you feel he values your opinion and welcomes questions. Dr. Boykins is also a surgeon and it's a rarity to find the expertise and kindness in a doctor. Staff: Staff are personal, very polite, and treat you like family. After putting you in the office, they come in a little later and ask if you need anything like water, etc. It's like going to a health spa and being pampered. Also a rarity, they help you put your socks and shoes back on which was a complete shock. Other doctor's just walk out of the office and let you fend for yourself. When you call they answer the phone politely and call you back to get you an answer to your question. Appointment scheduling: No issues with appointment scheduling 30 days out and they found an available slot the week after 1st appointment to come back in for further diagnostic tests. To give you perspective, when you go to McDonald's, you spend 10 minutes to order and eat. When you go to a 5 star Michelin rated restaurant, you're going to spend an hour enjoying the best services. Since the doctor and staff spends extra time taking care of patients, sometimes appointment time runs later and get pushed back. I have 1 other doctor that does this also and it's because they spend extra time with the patient because they are really good doctor also. When you book your appointment, keep this in mind that you may be leaving later and plan accordingly. Parking: The office entrance is facing the charter school not the taco bell. In front of the entrance the parking is more busy there but there's no handicap spots in front of the door. You have to go to the south side of the building where there's plenty of handicap spots all congregated together for the whole building. Billing: They take anthem blue cross PPO and have had no issues with billing. I read other reviews that say that you have to put a deposit for appointments but in the three visits so far, never have been asked for money or to book an appointment. As always, things might change and I'll update the review if needed.

I really felt like another number instead of a patient. Dr. Dzvonick is a great listener, is reasonable, and is clearly in this business to make a positive impact in his patients' lives. His services are worth every penny.

Bizarre First off,…read morewebsite is deceiving as it says $320 for a consult and lab tests. Only after I paid for my consult and the additional tests did the receptionist tell me the little "2" at the end of the description leads to a footnote where the tests are separate. So my bill was almost $900 for a 35 minute consult and one saliva hormone kit and a blood test. Make sure you read EVERYTHING on the website. My primary concern was dismissed by the doctor in the first 5 min. He asked to see my skin and told me he has the same type of moles on his skin, his moles were bigger, and that they aren't connected to anything hormonal, which was my concern. This is when I should have left, since he either didn't take me seriously or didn't know how to help me with that and just couldn't admit it. Then he took my pulse and literally accused me of trying to slow down my pulse. "It was normal but then you tried to slow it down." Uhh.. what??? It made me feel belittled, again. I ended up paying for the consult and tests, went home and realized I was pretty unhappy and this wasn't going to work out. I called the next day asking for a refund and to discontinue my journey with the doctor. Came into the office, was processed the refund for the tests only. Receptionist then hands me a letter from the doctor. It was like a bad break-up letter, lol. He states that he gives the same level of care to all other patients. If that's really so, then take your money elsewhere, where you won't be dismissed for something seemingly benign. He is happy to take a pretty hefty fee of $320 and not want to make it right if you're dissatisfied. Everyone has a right to post reviews. His tried to make his letter to me intimidating, so I perhaps wouldn't be honest about my experience on the internet. Well, people have a right to know. On a happier note, the receptionist was nice and prompt. Save yourself some time and choose any other doctor he listed on his letter. Dr. Dzvonick has a HUGE ego.
