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 been to another podiatrist and my condition did not improve . Dr Pontarelli correctly diagnosed and treated my problem . I am forever grateful.

My Savior
Dr. P absolutely saved me! I was signed up for a marathon and came to him thinking I wouldn’t be able to complete the marathon due to foot pain. He was able to make me the perfect orthotics and completely healed the pain! I was able to PR the race!

Dr. Pontarelli is an awesome doctor. He spends the time you need to hear your concerns and he makes sure that he does everything to keep you comfortable. I have been going to see him for many years for many issues. I make sure all my family and friends go there. It’s the only dr.s office I don’t mind going. Top notch!

Very cavalier. Performed surgery on an injury that was far more extensive than anticipated. Repair was incomplete and inadequate causing further problems. Have now gone to a HIGHLY RECOMMENDED orthopedic surgeon to have the sloppy and incomplete job done correctly. Office staff a bit off- putting and rude. Very long waits to be seen.

Slow to diagnose a very serious injury and the repair was not adequate or complete. In other words the repair needed to be more extensive. After a year and a half must now go to another more qualified surgeon to have a “redo” and more extensive repair. Long waits to be seen.
