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.

All I can say is, it’s not good, it’s the best
When you enter the office you are greeted by a friendly and warm helpful front desk. Dr. Dorfman is not a good doctor, he is a great doctor. I went there with a foot pain that I had for five days. Dr. Dorfman took one look made a suggestion, gave me a treatment, two hours later 95% of my pain was gone. I can’t thank him enough.

EMTT magnetic procedures
I went in to see DrDorfman for pain in my leg muscle after having a hip replacement. There seemed to be a bit of nerve damage. My pain was at a 8. After the first visit , I left with a 4 pain threshold. I would highly recommend this procedure if you are experiencing this type of pain

Excellence
Dr. Dorfman is a true professional, caring and knowledgeable. He has been treating me for plantar fasciitis and guess what???? It’s GONE! This is the second time he has treated me in a different foot and I feel very fortunate to have that severe pain disappear. The staff is top notch, especially Donna but everyone is super great. I just don’t know all their names. The office is immaculate and Dr. Dorfman runs on schedule. Very important. My thanks to Dr. Dorfman and staff!

Successful resolution of plantar fasciitis
I am an ultramarathon runner. After struggling for three months with plantar fasciitis, and trying most of the traditional approaches to solving the problem without success, two running friends independently told me about Dr. Dean Dorfman and that his treatment had gotten rid of their own "PF". I was skeptical at first, but after 4 weekly treatments--right on target--the pain went away. My skepticism is gone! Three weeks later I ran a 50-mile race. During and the day after the race, I felt a little discomfort, but not enough to prevent me from running normally, and the ache was gone on the second day. If you are suffering with plantar fasciitis, I highly recommend Dr. Dorfman and his "EPAT" shockwave therapy treatment. It is non-invasive. It really works.

I had been to a walk-in clinic, a massage therapist and another doctor looking for a diagnosis and solution to significant foot pain. Dr. Dorfman correctly diagnosed my foot pain (I could barely walk) in about 5 minutes. His recommend treatment resulted in pain relief in 2 days, walking in 4 and almost 100% full recovery in 2 weeks.

Instructed that orthotics would cost $450.00 (not covered by insurance)- at check out cost was $600.00 and told f/u visit included -as he was cutting orthotics to go in the shoe I asked if blue light would help a toenail ( as I had scheduled an appointment for blue light for her and was curious )- Dr. Dorfman said, "try this tolcylen" which I purchased. Now, I am being charge another $150.00. OMG!! When I called to explain to office staff that the visit was already paid for and it was a simple question they got nasty and hung the phone up. BEWARE of questionable billing practices. There were no cultures taken etc to justify a charge. Even worse the expensive liquid did't even work.

Dr. Dorfman is wonderful. Very caring patient and listens to your concerns. He is very knowledgeable and has a multitude of options based on your situation. The office staff is friendly and welcoming. Very different than most doctors offices. You feel like you’re not a number but a real person. Dr. Dorfman was open to answering my questions. This level of confidence along with great bedside manner is absent in most medical practices. Most doctors are arrogant and do not like patients who ask questions. Thank you For a great experience.
