unethical billing and deceitful practices for the practice in general, moving someone to an upstairs room called the "surgery center" and not explaining a 600 a toe cost for use of the room, billing 1200.00 after the fact and good luck if you have to talk to someone at the office, they place you on hold for 30-60 minutes. Do yourself a favor and do not use this practice for any foot related items. they will overbill, under explain and leave you with a huge portion of the costs. The doctor got 115, the surgery center 600 a toe.... what the ???

Absolutely horrible, the doctor was ok, but we shady practices but the "surgery center" and I would never use this facility again, Use caution when dealing with the fees on the surgery center, they numbed my daughters toes, moved he upstairs to the "surgery center" then came in with a demand for 526.00 or they would not continue (we had to pay that for the doctor to start, should have known something was not right at this point to have a demand at an in network facility before services rendered.) After paying the dr, the "surgery center bills another 600 a toe =1200 for use of the room, what an unethical way to handle the process, no one explained the additional fees associated with using the upstairs room before we went up there, this practice will be reported to the AMA for billing issues and unethical behavior.

I have a 6 yr. old, I called a couple offices, and I was told that they do not see children patients. I called this office, and they were able to schedule an appt for my daughter the very next day. We went to the appt and were welcomed warmly by the staff members. When Dr. Mustico came to see my daughter, she did everything in her power to make my daughter feel so comfortable through the whole procedure. Overall, everyone was compassionate, professional and made it such a great experience.

Cortez Foot & Ankle Specialists employees are all helpful and create a comfortable environment. I have been having chronic nerve pain top left foot pain for many months. Dr. Badell diagnosed and recommended surgery. Two weeks after Dr. Badell performed surgery on my foot, I'm already back to working out without any nerve pain in my foot. Thank You!

I have now had 2 bad experiences with Dr. Berkun. I have seen a few others there and been satisfied with the care.

Dr. Badell was delightful when I saw her. She definitely helped me and I would love to see her again. But I've now tried calling the office, leaving a phone message, sending an email and leaving a text message to schedule another appointment. This has been going on for a month. Still, to this moment, I have never talked to another person in the office...no return phone calls, no responses to email or text message. And nobody ever answers the phone. It's a shame, she was really great. But this is ridiculous. Guess I'll have to look for another office. Not sure what else to do. The website says there is no reason to live with foot pain...unless you can't get anyone to see you.

Beginning at my check-in with Lexi and intake with Leix, I was treated respectfully, listened to and was impressed positively with how well informed and courteous Melanie, Dr. Katz's assistant, was. Dr. Katz is an amazing podiatrist. He treated the porokeratosis on the left side of my left foot with the skill of an olympic swordsman. After Dr. Katz finished his culling of the callous-like spot above my cuboid bone and taped it until I see him in a week, I left the examination room walking pain free for the first time in 3 months. I checked out with Yoli. She too, was professional and efficient. If you are reading this review and are considering Cortez Foot and Ankle, hesitate not. The treatment I received embodies the PRIDE motto in the exam room. I was positively impressed by the reviews I read. They all gave CFAA five stars.

Very nice, enjoyed her visit with me. Sounds like I will live. I do have a complaint and I like the the old way when we put our foot in the bucket and completely soaked. Then do my nails. This is for Charles & JoAnn Fulks long time clients
