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.

Feel Dr Lasday is more interested in making money than taking care of his patients. Why would a Doctor not tell you what your diagnosis is?

Knowledgeable, Open and Great Communicator
Dr. Lasday knows his field, uses analogies and AV support to make important points and is warm and friendly. I would send family members to him if they needed podiatry services.

My experience with Dr. Lasday was exceptional. Dr. Lasday focused on my specific issues, was thorough in the examination, provided excellent advice, guidance, and economical solutions that work for me. I have seen many DPM's and Lasday is superior.

Definitely would NOT recommend this practice. Staff is unpleasant. Dr. Keeps patients waiting, and makes no apology. Dr. had orthotics made for me (using an app) which he moved around my feet. The orthotics I received didn’t fit properly, and also hurt my feet, and leg. The doctor has his staff do his “dirty work.” Staff, especially the woman at the sign-out desk, was very rude when I returned the orthotics. She showed me that I had signed a paper on the day foot measurements were taken (3 months earlier) which certified that I had received the orthotics that day. I thought I was signing something approving the order for orthotics. Never would I knowingly sign a false statement saying I received them that day. I didn’t receive them until 3 months, and one refitting, later. I would never go back, and don’t understand how staff get away with such obnoxious behavior. I lost money and got nothing, but bad treatment. The dr. Made money, but less than if the orthotics had worked.

I can't walk more than a few blocks before my foot becomes too painful to continue. I was told by other podiatrists that I would need surgery. Dr. Lasday determined a different source of the pain, explained it clearly and thoroughly and suggested a non-surgical solution. Dr. Lasday is in a completely different league from the others! He has my endorsement 100%. Also the office follows the necessary Covid-19 health precautions and the staff are professional, friendly and efficient.

I visited Dr. Lasday’s Floyd St office; it’s convenient & clean. Helpful staff, prompt & organized. His knowledge of foot & ankle mechanics & gait inspires confidence. He explains things well & is a good listener. I trust his judgement & advice. He helps me feel more comfortable. He’s calm & confident & seems to truly enjoy helping people understand their condition & available treatment options.

I had a hiking accident a few years back and deal with multiple injuries to my foot including a plantar fascial tear & a neuroma. Dr Lasday & his staff have gone out of their way to work me into his schedule on multiple occasions when it flared up. He spent the time necessary to properly diagnose & treat this evolving injury and helped me avoid unnecessary surgery. He is kind, patient, empathetic, friendly, and has an impressive depth of knowledge in his field. I give him highest recommendation.
