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.

Late!
I’m not even sure how the doctor is but I have waited well over an hour to be seen. I expected a wait but they have pulled back 2 other people and have forgotten 2 people that have had to go to the window to remind the office that they are here! I am one of those people.. I bet they still gonna charge me my copays etc!

I scheduled three appointments for cortisone injections. For each appointment he was over an hour late. I'd say he is an average podiatrist that you will have to be prepared to wait a long time to seem

Dr. Tesoro has worked 2 miracles for me. Way back in 1995 my CRPS had me in terrible pain and barely able to walk due to plantar fasciitis. 3 or 4 injections and I could walk. Later, after breaking my right ankle and it going undetected, he found my problem and did surgery and I could walk again without terrible pain. I need him now, and I know he will cure me again. He is the BEST I've ever had.
