Dr. Joe is an amazing doctor. He took his time with me and actually listened to all of my (many, sorry!) issues. He explained everything he was doing to treat me and why he was recommending it. I've never had an experience like that with any doctor before. I recommend him very highly.

Dr. Distefano is very caring and providing care for my foot problem and took time to advise and care for my foot to get the best results.
Dr. Distefano is an excellent podiatrist and am very please with his knowledge and professional mannerism! Very happy with the level of customer service, which I feel like you do not see very often with doctors now a days.

Dr. DiStefano hands down has the best bedside manner for a doctor I have ever seen. My grandmother recommended him to me because she has been going to him for about a year now. I came in with foot pain and he explained to me that i have tendinitis and listed the ways to combat the pain and treat. He also showed me how I had callus build up under the sides of my nail bed which he fixed right on the spot which relieved a lot of pain instantly. The office itself is very clean and updated.

Dr. DiStefano is an amazing physician. His care of patients is top notch, not to mention his ability to analyze the foot with gentle accuracy. He took the time to get to know me as a patient, then spent the time needed to care for my podiatry issue. I would highly recommend Dr. DiStefano to anyone in need of a fantastic podiatrist.

Dr. D is thorough and knowledgeable. Very happy with the level of customer service, which I feel like you do not see very often with doctors now a days. His office was very clean which I really appreciated as well. He very thoroughly laid out my options for treatments so I felt like I had some control over which treatment method I wanted to go with.

Dr. DiStefano is by far the most personable doctor I have ever visited. He was extremely attentive as I described my pain. I ended up getting fitted for Orthotics, I had no clue what a huge difference it would make for me. Very thankful it was not more serious and my pain could be treated conservatively.

I took my daughter (12 years old) in to see Dr. Distefano for an ingrown toe nail. He did extremely well in communicating with her and making her feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation. He is extremely patient and made the over all experience at the practice better than anticipated. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Since being treated for plantar fasciitis by Dr. DiStefano, and following his advise for home treatments, my foot pain has been lessened to the point where I am able to walk without my cane. He is very personable and takes the time to answer your questions thoroughly. I am looking forward to my next visit.
