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.

I had a tailors bunion removed and repair to two toes. I find Dr. Boccio to be an excellent surgeon. He is professional and courteous. His staff is also very competent and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Boccio.

I had reconstructive surgery on my right foot, that had been messed up by another surgeon. Dr. Boccio repaired the damage to three toes including the bunion The surgery was extensive. I already see an improvement and I am happy with my recovery to this point. He and his staff were very attentive and efficient. Thank you Dr. Boccio. LL

After a repair for a torn tendon in my ankle 4 months ago I have been to the ER twice with an infected incision, my ankle is so swollen I can wear socks or shoes, I walk with a limp and I am in constant pain. Dr. Boccio asked me “what do you want me to do about it” at my last visit. He told me to seek another opinion and feel 1 year is normal healing time , something that he failed to mention before surgery when he said it was a simple fix. He is thin skinned and you insult his ability. AVIOD

I had bunion/hammertoe surgery a few years ago by podiatrist.When the problem reoccured,I went to Dr.Boccio.He'd do foot reconstruction surgery(3 days in hospital),five weeks in a rehabilitation center.Followed instructions to the letter,plus bought a chairlift,plus rented a ramp,and never missed an appointment.The problem is back,and his response was he would do some tweaking.Also had surgery on Rt/foot,after which Xray showed a little toe fracture while foot in the cast!That surgery bad too.
