Dr. Joseph Grillo, DPM

Dr G was very helpful at curing my gout issues and also gave me great life advice he motivated me to loose weight and was very helpful in my life Thank you Dr G you have changed the outlook on my life !

Dr. Grillo provides professional care and counsel. I have been visiting with him over the past five years and every encounter leads to a successful health outcome. Most outstanding in my mind is when I went in recently to have a troublesome nail removed and he told me he would not do it because he could not find a pulse in my ankle. He immediately referred me to a radiologist where it was revealed that I had a 90% blockage in my left leg. An angioplasty two weeks later solved the issue. Dr. Grillo’s diagnosis and subsequent referrals to both the radiologist and surgeon probably saved me from massive complications on down the line. I will always be grateful for his care and I am glad he is on my personal health team.

Firm in his advice 8 months ago, I followed it all for great results. Pain is minimal and only occasional and I can double favorite activities while adding weight bearing exercise. His nurse is well informed and office staff easy to work with.

I would highly recommend Dr. Grillo. He removed a ingrown toenail for me. One injection, removed ingrown and 4 weeks later good as new.Dr. Grillo is extremely knowledgeable. The staff is amazing, extremely kind and very helpful. If you or anyone you know is having foot and or toe problems go see Dr. Grillo. Golfing, walking, shopping has never been this wonderful. Thank you - Dr. Grillo

Dr Grillo was available for a next day appointment and was able to resolve my foot problem immediately. His staff was professional, friendly and efficient.

Having had surgery on both feet in prior years I've come to recognize the importance of the initial pain and lack of mobility. Recently I couldn't exert any pressure on my heel. I went to see DR. Joseph Grillo, Fort Myers. WOW! This is my kind of doctor. Straight to the point, described the issue and treatment. (I had a strained Achilles tendon). Simple and direct advice, get rid of the ‘so-called’ support sneakers, wear a compression sock and get the recommended shoe/sneaker to support the foot properly. The result, 3 weeks later I was back to normal! No shots, no try this, or try that! All it took was the one visit and follow-up. And the staff were just as helpful. Thank you!

Doctor Grillo removed a tumor from the bottom of my Left foot That became very painful and made it difficult for me to walk. To make things worse, my leg kept jumping All through the procedure. This is due to some underlying neurological issues. Their office staff and doctor are very organized. I never had to wait long to see the doctor.

Dr Grillo provided immediate relief to the foot pain I was experiencing. A cortisone shot took away the pain from neuroma. I know this will not last forever but it has been a month. Also, Dr Grillo did not try to push me toward a surgical solution.

I went to see Dr. Grillo after seeing 2 other podiatrists that did nothing to help my foot pain. I work 9+ hours/ day on my feet and could barely stand when I got out of my car at the end of the work day because of the pain in my heel. Same thing getting out of bed in the morning - the pain was intense and it was hard to walk. Dr. Grillo is great at educating patients and explained what was going on with my heel/foot. He laid out all the options I had to choose from, and was very conservative in his treatment plan. I appreciated that he didn't have me spend lots of money on devices and orthotics for my situation. He looks out for his patients and doesn't do unnecessary procedures. He tells it like it is and doesn't sugar coat things. I trusted his treatment plan and now after working 9+ hours/day I have no heel pain when I get out of the car or get out of bed in the morning! His staff are all very caring and were concerned about me, and treated me like I was part of the family!

As a teacher I am on my feet all day. For the past two years my foot pain has been increasingly worse. I thought it was just Plantar Fasciitis. Under Dr. Grillo's care he discovered a torn tendon in my ankle. After trying all non-invasive procedures, Dr. Grillo told me that surgery was my best option. I was beyond sad because I knew how difficult this would be during the school year. From the get go, Dr. Grillo was so helpful and accommodating. His main concern was for me, not my work or my insurance - me! He even came in two days after my surgery on a Saturday to change my bandages - on Christmas Eve! Dr. Grillo cares about the whole patient! His staff is so kind and friendly. I just can't say enough about how thankful I am to him! Yes, the recovery was long and every bit as inconvenient as he said it would be, but I am so thankful to him for guiding me through it every "step" of the way! Sherry S.

He is rude and full of himself. He didn't listen to me and used the technique of repeating the same inadequate answer in circles with all intentions of making me look foolish, while not listening and not at all answering my question, at the same time constantly rolling his eyes at his assistant. So uneducated and narrow-minded! A not very intelligent and very rude person.

I'm a 70 year old female. I could barely walk when I came to Dr Grillo. My feet were in extreme pain. Dr Grillo is my all time favorite doctor! He is very kind, funny and super competent. He drew up a plan and was very cautious to cause no further harm to my already battered feet. He is straight forward which I love. He explains everything and gives you alternatives if possible. I am so lucky to have found him. My feet will never be 18 year old feet again but man oh man has he make a difference! Love & kisses Dr Grillo and your wonderful staff.

On 3-8 I had my first appointment with Dr. Grillo. The entire staff treated me warmly and with care. These are people happy to come to work. He also offers medical pedicures. Janet is the technician and gentle and kind. It’s nice to not be worried anymore about infections or rushed pedicures. To say he is extraordinary is not saying enough. His keen eyes were able to look at my feet and I felt my feet were in great hands. He is honest to a fault. He sugarcoats nothing. It was a relief to have someone care enough having just met me to let me know I am ok. I want directly to my primary physician as I had an appointment. I took all of Dr. Grillo’s information with me so he can start referring patients to someone who could be trusted. I have to bring up the characters he has on display. I for one loved looking at them and Frankenstein and others put a huge smile on my face. I understand there are different ones in different rooms. Well done Dr. Grillo!

I've seen Dr Grillo 3 times this summer for diagnosis and treatment of plantar fasciitis. While I'm not "cured", I've made great progress. Dr Grillo 'says it like it is' - which I completely appreciate. His treatment was excellent. He explained all of the options for treatment as well as what to do to try to prevent it ever happening again! His staff is great - very friendly and welcoming. While I hope to never need him again, I wouldn't call any other podiatrist!!!!!

DR. GRILLO IS "EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE", COMPASSIONATE, AND VERY FRIENDLY. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY. DR GRILLLO'S "STAFF" IS EQUALLY KNOWLEDGEABLE, COMPASSIONATE, AND FRIENDLY. MY WIFE IS "EXTREMELY HAPPY" WITH THE FANTASTIC CARE AND RESULTS FROM THE "SPA" TREATMENTS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR GRILLO AND STAFF !!! 100% !!!!

Doctor Grillo was very professional and thorough

When Dr started lecturing me about where I bought my shoes that he felt caused my problem and I responded, he pulled down his mask and told me that “if I wouldn’t listen to him I should leave his office”. He treated me with such complete lack of professionalism, such arrogance and rudeness, I will never return to his practice and will advise others to not go to him for “care”.

I e never been to a doctor that I feel genuinely cared and was totally honest in his assessment. I loved him!

Somehow I got crosswise with the doctor about what I wanted and what he was willing to do. I got a long patronizing lecture on my honesty vs. HIS honesty which I didn't appreciate. This afternoon I ran across Diogenes and sent him to Dr. Grillo's address.

My experience with Dr Grillo and his entire staff was exceptional. I had foot pain for a long time and after taking X-rays Dr Grillo explained the problem and provided me with options. I had out patient surgery and follow up. The Dr and his staff are professional and caring. Dr Grillo has great credentials and seeing him was the best choice I could have made.
