Dr. Gary Briskin, DPM, Podiatrist Patient Reviews

Really bummed that I was emailed to come in and it was to early for my orthotics. Every two years is when I can get them and I was a few months early. So I wasted a day of work to come in. Really bummed I couldn’t get the email at the right time and I will have to make an appointment during Christmas break because I can’t afford to take another day off of work.

Need to clearly communicate to the patient how driving will be impacted and how much recovery time before driving again. It was not communicated before my surgery, and I didn't think to ask until one week prior, almost canceled for obvious reasons. Otherwise everyone has been great. Thanks!

It was a pretty basic visit, got a quick diagnosis, everything was fine. I did notice that the x-ray technician wasn't particularly engaged and was on a phone call while he was setting up my x-ray. I don't expect first class service or anything but it did seem like he could have paid more attention to what he was doing instead of being on the phone ;)

The evaluation of my foot condition was very helpful. DR. Briskin helped me to understand both the surgical options for treatment as well as the practical adjustments to make walking easier and less painful. I came to him for a 2nd opinion and will return to him for surgery when that becomes necessary.

Greeted professionally, taken to room a few ,injures after I arrived. Dr Briskin
Came in a few minutes later, performed procedure on my foot and I was on my way in 15 minutes. Unbelievable efficiency Love it

Dr.Briskin and the stafff are great! I love my new orthotics although I trimmed the tops of them too short to fit into some other shoes and an going to try to glue back what I trimmed. Will call the office to see if they can help me fix three!

I had a very good experience and the nurse/assistant was very kind and helpful. I have a balance issue and he was very kind towards my fearfulness on stepping on the scale for balance. And of course, Dr Briskin was great, Forgotbto write nurse name was Steven,

Questions I'd like answers to since I didn't get to ask:

Will I need crutches?
Will I be able to drive?
How long will I be on crutches or not able to bear weight on the foot?
When will be able to start walking?
How long will the surgery take?
What benefits does this surgery have, in terms of pain relief and function?
How long will the benefits last?
What risks are associated with this surgery?
What is the success rate for this surgery?
Will the surgery need to be repeated after a certain amount of time?
Will you do the surgery or will someone else?
What kind of anesthesia will be used?
Will the anesthesiologist know about my allergies?
Will I have pain following the surgery?
What pain relievers will I be given?

Thank you
