Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

The most insulting patient unfriendly doctor ever, if he actually is one

repaired calcaneus
Would highly recommend. He can come off at times as a little grouchy but who cares if he is great at what he does.

I did not have a positive experience. He performed surgery on my foot that resulted in permanent nerve damage which he never told me ahead of time. Because he took 1/2 inch off my calcaneus bone, I lean backwards, cannot walk barefoot, put orthotics in every shoe, wear shoes all the time, even in the shower. My subtalar joint has suffered and made my foot unstable. Because of this I fell resulting in an injury that required cervical spine surgery. This doctor has answer for everything, goes back on what he told you in the first place and doesn't seem concerned about your welfare. Many of my visits included trainees that he spoke to like I wasn't there. My foot problem has led to lower back and hip problems. When choosing a doctor, hopefully you can trust them, unfortunately they can ruin your life as you once knew it. After all this, I requested his signature on a form so I could get a disabled person parking permit because walking causes too much pain. He wouldn't sign it!!!!

No, No and NO! He never showed up to even look at me in the hospital until I was bieng discharged without a trauma surgery that was recommended by another physician. when he did show up- he refused to go over a CT scan that "he alledgedly ordered" that was ready while I was an inpatient, he stated that I would have to wait to discuss the plan until I went to his office, which is in another county an hour from my home. ( I obviously could not drive) - so that posed a serious issue for me , he then stated my social issues were not his problem. He insisted he couldnt discuss my CT results in the hospital ?. confusing becasue everything was ready and right there at his disposal , but instead he made me find a ride the next day after discharge- in extreme pain, and come to his private office to discuss the fact I had a serious broken ankle 3 bones down ,and I could not have surgery for 3 more weeks? . Found another surgeon - feeling great! (MYMOSTAwful experience. 2busy2care)

I would never recommend this Dr. to anyone. He is extremely condescending when answering questions. Such as when I asked him what the surgery would entail he answered stuff lots of stuff. It's only when I continued to push for a more specific answer he rambled some long name and didn't even write it down for me. I could go on and on. Just go to someone else!!!!!!!

This man completely screwed up and botched a left ankle and leg surgery on me. Caused permanent nerve damage inserting screws directly into my perineal and superficial nerves. I had ripped myofascial tissue that had to be fixed and finally had to have a new dr remove the plates and screws. I was forced to drop a malpractice suit against him and to this day it infuriates me he never once checked to see how the situation was. Avoid at all costs, he is absolute trash.

Dr. Herscovici is the WORST. He is dismissive, rude, grumpy, and condescending. He refused to acknowledge my pain and ordered extraneous xrays (that I'll be charged for extensively I'm sure). I would not recommend this place.

Thank you KC Newman!

Dr. Herscovici was very good and quickly diagnosed and corrected the foot pain I had been experiencing for over 6 months. During my visit it was especially busy and I had to wait over two hours to be seen for my appointment. This was the only problem I had with them and it could have been a one time issue but it is the only reason I did not score them higher. Once I was back with the Dr. and his team things went smoothly.
