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.

Great foot surgeon
Dr. Fein solved the problem I was having with my foot. He performed surgery on it, and it helped immensely! His follow up is very thorough! Never had to wait more than five minutes for any appointment. I highly recommend him!

Planter Faciitis
Dr. Fein has been treating my foot ailments for over 25 years. From plantar faciitis, to removing a plantar wart, to fallen arches (and prescribing orthotics which have helped immensely), to arthritis in my toes from too much running. I cannot recommend Dr. Fein and his staff any higher. Though I wish I had not had foot problems at all…having Dr. Fein and his practice available to treat me has made my issues more tolerable.

Great Foot Care
Dr. Fein is a practical Doctor, he knows his subject well and is frank and honest about your needs and treatment options. He's friendly and his staff is too! The most important thing for me as a diabetic is getting good treatment to keep my feet in top shape. I get that here at this practice. I would and do reccomend them to Friends for good foot care.

Superb
My experiences with Bethel Foot and Ankle have always been top notch. The front desk personnel are knowledgeable, efficient and very pleasant. Appointments are very flexible and accommodating. They strive to give the best service possible. I can't say enough about Dr. Fein. He is extremely personable and an expert in his field. He always greets me with a warm smile, a sincere "How are you doing today" and a genuine "What do I need to do to make you feel better". This is a far cry from the modern approach.... where you are greeted by the top of a doctors' head and the sound of fingers tapping on a laptop. To Dr. Fein, you are a human being in need of his expertise not a compilation of statistical data. Dr. Fein will not stop his search for proper treatment until the problem issue is fixed and you are completely satisfied and happy with the outcome. Bravo to Dr. Fein and his excellent staff!

Dr Fein, Becky, Lucy, Emily and Joyce are by far the best medical office I've ever been to. If it weren't for Dr Fein I would have lost my left foot. His bedside mannerisms are warm and nurturing. He understands his patents, his compassion and commitment to you is far beyond any Doctor I have been too. I would recommend him and office to everyone. Dr Jamie Otfinoski is also at Bethel Foot and Ankle. I've seen him twice and see in him a younger Dr Fein. If you have any foot and Ankle issues this is the group. They are located at 8 School St in Bethel, CT. I drive 40 miles from Fiahkill, NY to see this office passing several podiatrist to go there.

I had surgery by Dr. Fein decades ago for bunions both feet. I have not had a single issue since and it has allowed me to exercise, walk everywhere pain free and wear heels without a second thought. Absolutely delighted and the office has been accommodating and courteous every time I need a quick appointment.

I found the staff and Dr. Fein very accommodating, friendly and courteous. While I'm not always happy to hear what Dr. Fein has to say regarding aftercare (I hate having to alter my routine), I trust his experience and knowledge. In my experience, he has gone out of his way to explain the injury and treatment options. In regard to insurance billing, his office manager, Gina, has been a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend his services to anyone interested in truly professional office.

Dr Fein has been extremely attentive, knowledgeable and efficient. We have known him for over 30 years now when our youngster at the time, had flatfeet and needed attention. Now we return with other problems and he and his associate has also been amazing! My plantar fascities pain was an emergency and his associate took me in right away and I'm forever grateful. My husband lastest problem with his toenail, Dr Fein efficiently took care of him. I highly recommend him to my friends and family.

Not only is Dr. Fein amazing, but so is his staff. When my mother lost her original insurance, the office manager, Gina, went above and beyond to make it possible for my mother to still see him under her new plan as a non-participating provider. Not only did she keep us abreast of every phone call and fax she made, but she even took the time to email us on her own time. She took so much stress off of me and gave us the gift of piece of mind so my mother could continue her care. Fantastic woman!!
