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.

Kind and knowledgeable

This doctor has no interest in actually listening to the patient. I left there feeling frustrated and with no plan for my care. Don't waste your time and money seeing this man.

I am writing this to leave my feedback. I had an gastric recession last June 2017. That took care of my pain in my calf but for a YEAR after that I kept telling Doctor D that the pain was in my HEEL area and he kept sending me to PT and I wore the boot on and off for that period of time. Every time I mentioned my heel he told me it wasn't the heel and that it will take time. When questioned regarding the bone spur he said he wouldn't recommend or do that surgery (my husband was there to hear him

DO NOT TRUST YOUR CARE TO BENEDICT DIGIOVANNI - After two years of working with this doctor on an issue- multiple treatments were tried and it was decided that surgery would be the best option. In each of the visits the dr had a med student with him, all was well. He was polite, even kind and answered all questions. In the last visit 20 days out from my surgery, when he was supposed to be answering my questions, he was rude, told me to stop asking questions and then said he was not going to per

Similar situation as another patient’s review... Extremely rude and stated he was unable to help at all because he was a surgeon. Only recommended I see other practitioners and “suck it up”. No actual examination of my foot even took place. I asked what additional steps could be taken in treatment and he again said he couldn’t help, he was a surgeon. Would NEVER recommend him to anyone that is serious about rehabilitation.

My General Practitioner referred me to Dr. DiGiovanni. I saw him twice and totally unimpressed both times. If he can't perform surgery on you, he isn't interested in helping you ease your pain (I asked where I could go next). Never told me what he thought the cause might be. Just said I'm a surgeon and can't help you. Stop wasting your time and money.
