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.

Dr Barbella , was thorough very professional and very focused. He discussed every option to rectify the problem with my foot and he discussed each option in detail . I found him not only be extremely bright but had great beside manor . I would not hesitate to refer any of my friends to him , he was that impressive . Coming from the optical field I tend to be very judgmental when it comes to doctors but this guy knocked it out the park.

Be mindful!!
Barbella was my foot doctor for the past 2 years,he started off being fast and efficient in his services and treatments of various conditions with my feet. That quickly grew into a complacentattitude of lets just get it out of my hair! Then when he made a pair of shoes for me to correct a problem from a previous injury he did not follow up and then after they failed he more or less just said he was not going to accept my updated insurance carrier. He quit on me.Then for my final appointment to return shoes that were worn twice and did not work! He was not even interested in seeing me. My insurance was the same as always ,funded by Medicare and Medicaid. After being ignored while waiting for my appointment that they confirmed twice by phone,I found him and returned my shoes. I told him all he had to do was tell me he could not fix my problem and I would have to go elsewhere. Instead I was completely ignored! Very disappointing after I really thought I had a qualified Podiatrist.

Aren't your feet worth it?
This doctor is so caring. I have been going to him for years. The staff is always pleasant and friendly. They have a store and plenty of parking. Plenty of restaurants nearby to treat yourself when you leave the office. Give your feet the best care and visit this office.
