I was switched to another OK doc who I saw in July in person for a physical. At the end of August, my rx ran out for routine maintenance meds I had been taking for more than 10 years--including a statin and a high blood pressure med. My new doc was unavailable--and the owner, Dr. Cardiello, refused to refill my meds without an inperson visit. I made an appointment for 2 weeks later--as soon as I could get off work and get to the office. I explained nicely my problem and that my meds would still run out before I could make my appointment...would they please refill anyway since I had been getting those meds prescribed by this practice for years already. He still refused and would rather leave me with no medicine than refill before I could see him. Again, even though I had been going there for years and my meds hadn't changed! No deal. I will not go off my meds or drastically jump thru hopes to get time off at work to get rx filled by a doc who wants to hold them hostage. I made a telemedicine apt elsewhere and my rx were refilled within the hour. And I will not be back to this rude, uncaring dump were patient health and safety is not a concern--they just want to charge you for visits and can't work with long term patients in times of need. Do yourself a favor and pick any other practice than this one. They don't care about you...you are just a $ in their accounting books. What a joke...

DO NOT TRUST YOUR FEET WITH THIS DOCTOR!…read more I visited Dr. Del Monte to have a few corns removed from my small toes on both feet. They weren't causing me any pain and it was only a cosmetic concern. At my consultation, he was quick to say I'd need surgery and given all the positive reviews I read on here I trusted him with all my heart and proceeded with the surgery. On the day of the surgery, a nurse asked me during pre-op if I was there for hammertoe surgery. This surprised me, as I had only asked Dr. Del monte to remove a few corns. When I brought it up with him, he explained, 'It's the same thing.' I trusted him and didn't question him any further. During our consultation, Dr. Del Monte had also convinced me to have my bunion removed. He explained that he would use a new procedure called lapiplasty, which involves inserting a metal plate to correct the deformity. He assured me that this technique was much simpler than a traditional bunionectomy and promised a three-month recovery time, with my feet looking great afterward. Fast forward to 8 months post-surgery, I realized that I can no longer curl up my toes like I used to. My toes can now only fan up and down in one direction (like a plastic doll's toes) and they were shortened too (something which I had do never asked him to do). Regarding the lapiplasty portion of the surgery, the recovery was far from the easy experience I was led to expect. It changed the way I walk, requiring me to undergo hours of physical therapy. I even had to have another surgery to remove the plate in hopes of finding relief and improving my gait, but unfortunately, that did not help. Dr. Del Monte downplayed the significance of the surgery and failed to adequately explain what it would entail. His poor clinical judgment has caused me immense pain and depression, to the point where I've been on antidepressant medication for over a year now. I'm only 30 years old and I've never faced as many issues as I have following the surgeries performed by Dr. Del Monte. I no longer enjoy doing yoga and pilates classes as I used to given how stiff and rigid my toes feel. My toes no longer feel natural and I constantly wear socks to avoid seeing the awful scars that have been left behind. I do not recommend getting surgery with Dr. Del Monte. He tried to make money of me and test a metal plate at the expense of costing me my mental and physical wellbeing. Once I addressed these issues with him, he only gaslit me by saying corn removal surgery and hammer toe surgery are the same thing and he constantly downplayed the situation by saying it will get better. I'm now almost 2 years post-surgery and things have not gotten better and I continue to struggle every single day. I even sought a second opinion from another qualified surgeon, who informed me that this surgery should never have been performed in the first place and there is no way to reverse any of it. If anyone is considering this type of bunion surgery, please do not let him talk you into it. I strongly urge you to join the "Lapiplasty before, during, after" Facebook group. There, you can read the experiences of hundreds of patients who, like me, were persuaded to undergo surgery by surgeons more interested in testing their devices than in the well-being of their patients. I have attached before-and-after pictures of my feet for reference. As you can see, I didn't even have a significant bunion; I sought this surgery solely for cosmetic reasons, but I ended up worse off. Doctors are supposed to be healers and take an oath to do no harm. Sadly this doctor did the opposite and I regret going to him with all my heart.

I went to Dr John Delmonte on November 2023 because of pain on bunion, right away he recommended a…read morenew procedure called Labplasty, he said recovery would only be 6 weeks, one year later I'm so much worse off than before, after 8 weeks I kept complaining of pain and he was dismissive, kept saying it was normal and just kept prescribing medication, after 5 months of pain and discomfort he decided to remove the hardware he had put into my foot, I still was not getting better so in June 2024 I decided to go see another doctor who proceeded to get me an MIR and a CT scan which Dr Delmonte never suggested to find out what was happening,the Ct revealed that two of my bones are not fused, the new doctor told me that in her opinion the surgery that he performed was to aggressive for such a simple problem. Now I have to deal with another operation, which would make it the third in less than a year, I'm in constant pain, my foot gets swollen if I walk more than an hour and I have numbness which new doctor said is irreversible, my life has changed so much, I can only wear sneakers, if I even wear flats my foot is swollen in less than an hour, please don't go to Dr Delmonte,when I used to go to him I started paying attention and realize that he would suggest surgery to so many of his patients,I am going to file a complaint against him, my life hasn't been the same.

I've been a patient of his since I was in high school, and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that he is one of the most exceptional people I've ever met. Finding a doctor you can be completely, 100% open with is rare. Dr. Festa has this incredible ability to be a supportive, caring friend while maintaining the highest level of professionalism. I feel comfortable enough to talk to him about absolutely anything, and I know I will be met with zero judgment. He is a safe space, and in the medical world, that is priceless. I trust him with my life. His level of knowledge is astounding. I am constantly amazed at how educated he is. There has never been a single topic, concern, or question I've brought to him that he didn't have extensive, thorough knowledge on. He is meticulous and thorough in everything he does, ensuring no stone is left unturned. But the real reason I am writing this review goes deeper. A little over two years ago, my life was in shambles. I was struggling with a history of substance abuse and felt like I was at rock bottom. I went back to Dr. Festa, and he has been an unwavering pillar in my life ever since. He didn't just treat my physical health; he supported my entire well-being. He has helped guide me to a place I truly never thought I would see. Today, I am happy, I am sober, and I am actively meeting goals that once seemed impossible. On top of the outstanding care, the entire practice is a dream to work with. The office is beautiful and always perfectly clean. The front desk workers are phenomenal--they are always on top of whatever I need, from prescriptions to scheduling. Speaking of which, I have never had an issue getting an appointment; Dr. Festa always has availability. And so never have to wait more than 10-15 minutes max! I've also never had a problem with my insurance, as they take many different providers. I am so profoundly grateful for Dr. Festa. I actually look forward to my monthly appointments. He is the gold standard for what a Primary Care Physician should be. I recommend him and his practice to everyone and anyone in search of a PCP or one of the many other specialties he offers.
