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.

Do not Recommend.
Sould NOT recommend the office or Dr.Toback. Office is poorly run, not organized and has ZERO customer service skills.People waiting for over an hour for appts.NO call backs for MONTHS on results - but treated and billed prior to diagnosis or results.Seems he has a history of this. Save yourself the headache and the battles with insurance.

Pleasant doctor, but the results were not in keeping with promises and assurances, and there was some, let's call it, fudging of symptoms and results of treatment that made me stop seeing him. He used a laser treatment which was expensive and ineffectual, but instead of simply owning the failure of the treatment he went to some length to gaslight me on the effectiveness (not) of his expensive treatment. I suspect he is a competent doctor, but in my case he lost my trust.

If you’re in need of a foot doctor look no further... Dr Toback and his staff are wonderful. I drive over an hour to see him. I was referred to him by another foot doctor who couldn’t solve my problem.

Dr Toback is certainly a competent doctor with a friendly manor. His Staff is helpful and accommodating. I've usually been taken in to my appointments within twenty minutes of the scheduled time and had less then a ten minute wait in the examination room. My only complaint is that he needs to update or replace some of his equipment in the office rather then the "fixes" that he has made to keep them going. It doesn't seem to hinder his practicing of Podiatry ..... It's more of a visual thing to see things that need replacing not get replaced but instead "Repaired". I judge him on his results not the condition of his equipment and he is able to make do with what he has pretty well. If he were to invest in some new equipment, I would easily up him to 5 stars.

During Covid times - easy to get an appointment, comfort during office visit, and on time. I would highly recommend Dr Toback! I saw him 20 years ago for my hammertoe and bunionectomies!

Dr. and staff were well organized. Dr. answered all my questions and made an immediate plan for treatment. The office visit was over an hour; whereas, other doctors may have pushed me out the door after 15 minutes.

After developing Plantar Fasciitis I went to Dr. Toback. Seemed a little arrogant to me and I found his approach aggressive. Rather than trying to trouble-shoot and find a non-invasive way to remediate my PF, he injected my ankle with a PAINFUL cortisone shot on the first visit, directed me to return for additional shots & had me sign an agreement to pay $800.00 for orthopedic inserts, if my insurance denied. I stopped seeing him. I now have permanent discomfort in my ankle b/c of the cortisone

Dr. Tracey Toback is an excellent podiatrist and podiatric surgeon. He did bunion surgery on both of my feet and I am so very happy with the results! The aftercare was excellent. I knew exactly what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by the ease with which I healed. There was not as much pain as one would expect. His staff is friendly and professional-I would highly recommend this office to anyone in need of excellent foot care!
