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.

Dr Kosofsky was very professional, personable, easy to engage with and patient, with attention to detail and excellent clinical skills.

It was my first time there. I have been to several podiatrists throughout the years and I can honestly say that Dr. Kosofsky was the first to make me feel so comfortable. He was soft-spoken and took the time to explain everything to me. The women in the office were professional and friendly. I would, without hesitation, recommend Dr. Kosofsky to anyone with foot care needs!

I am/was a new patient and was greeted promptly and with a smile. After finishing up with paperwork I was near immediately brought back, with very minimal wait time. The woman in the office who I believe is the OM and the MA were very friendly and welcoming! I have always feared going and finally buckled down and went and I was amazed by Dr. Kosofsky’s work! I am very happy I made that phone call to his office! I am looking forward to my next appointment!

Dr. Kosofsky performed my bunionectomy in 2018. I let him know that I am a runner and he assured me that this was a straight forward procedure and that I would be back on my feet and start running again within 2 months. The surgery went well and I followed all recovery instructions for the next several months. When it came time for me to come out of the surgical boot into a normal sneaker, I noticed sharp pain in the ball of my foot with every step. I brought this to Dr. Kosofsky’s attention numerous times during follow-up visits however, he just discounted the pain as nothing serious and as something that would go away with time. The months that followed were extremely frustrating and painful. I could not run, walking was painful, could not wear normal shoes (even sneakers hurt), and walking barefoot also hurt. A year passed and I still could not run or walk without extreme pain. I finally sought out the opinion of several other doctors and to my dismay it was confirmed that the pai

The office is very profesional the service is excellent exceptional and supporting staff. Dr. Kosofsky spends a great amount of time answering all my question to help me deal with severe pain in both feet an toes due to severe idiopathic neuropathy. He offers a wealth of knowledge and information to help my condition. The pain laser is like a blessing improving the circulation in my feet and blood flow to extremities in my toes.

I had a great experience. The quality and professionalism of any Group really shines or fails when it has to tell a patient that they have an injury or condition that may need treatment. This Group is highly professional, lets the patient explain his/her problems in detail, and listens to the patient. In this fast paced world, we see many people rushing to get the work done. Not here, they do what is right and necessary to achieve the best possible outcome. The staff is courteous and kind. I am sure you will have a great experience if you choose this group to help you with any issues you may have with your feet. I am an Attorney who practices Law in Hartford.
