    My only feedback is for the doctor (Bob) to not ask a patient’s race or ethnicity- found it inappropriate and made me uncomfortable in a closed door room full of men ( I am female).

    Dr Briskin has been a pleasure. He’s very calming & professional.
    He never keeps you waiting and I never feel rushed during our appointments. He is thorough, easy going & caring. As a bonus, his staff is outstanding.

    Although the doctor was understandably busy and spent little time with me, his associate was excellent and the woman who scanned my feet and adjust my orthotics was great! Overall, very happy with my visit.

    Being able to visualize my rigid right big toe via seeing the x-ray was very helpful for me. I could see what the doctor had told me and agree immediately with his assessment Viewing the other x-rays gave me a better understanding of the whole structure of my foot and knowledge of it. This appointment was stress reducing for me and very helpful. I highly recommend the doctor

    This is my one comment. I wish the doctor would have recommended I wear a tennis shoe. I figured this out on my own after wearing an open back shoe for 10 days. It’s hard to get it on but the support is so much better- this was never ever mentioned.

    I am waiting for my insurance to approve MRI. Your office does not accept my insurance, so this is why I'm delayed in going back.

    I had an unexpected foot "challenge" this week. I called the office & was able to get an appointment with Dr. Briskin on Tues. Even though I hadn't been to the office since the last foot incident of 4 years ago, I was treated very professionally by the staff. Fortunately, the X-rsys didn't show a break or fracture. My right ankle is discolored with some swelling & discomfort. Dr. Briskin suggested that I continue icing the area for 15 minutes several times a day until the swelling decreases. He said that if there is an increase in the pain, to be sure to call the office. I also have a follow up visit next week.I'm very impressed with Dr. Briskin's professionalism, concern, & care. I had peace of mind after the visit.All in all, a reassuring & good visit with Dr. Briskin & the staff.

    I had a new doctor - Dr. Abimbola Johnson who was very personable and down to earth. He also explained to me the importance of keeping the callus clean and smoothed down. I am pleased to have him as my doctor.

    We’ll, since u asked. I was treated by Dr Briskin for an ingrown toenail and was pleased. However a few days later, I was in NY, my toe was red around the nail and very tender. I called the office and was told to email
    The Dr . I did that, along with a picture. I included the name and phone number of a NY pharmacy in case I needed a prescription. I did not hear back from the Dr or any staff. I was aggravated after 2 days and hoped that using Neosporin daily would help the inflammation. I think you need to review your e mail response policy.
