For a foot injury that was a few months old and causing some relatively minor discomfort, received an in office Xray then sent to get a CAT scan. $500 in out of pocket costs later with no follow up on the results. Not helpful at all. Tried to sell me a walking boot that cost 50% more than identical ones on Amazon too.

This man over palpated my foot. I’m in a pain the following day that I don’t even get after excessive exercise. Avoid this clown at all cost. Over glorified salesman taking advantage of Medicaid recipients. Probably wouldn’t be able to run a functional practice without it.

I had a severe infected & ingrown toenail that was bothering me for a few days. I was calling around the area and elsewhere to find someone who can squeeze me in for a brief consultation. Luckily for me on a Saturday afternoon Dr. Kapadwala was able to see me. It was the first time ever where I had an on time doctors appointment (12:30 pm & not a second sooner!) Punctuality is a huge deal for me, especially when I needed relief. Dr. Kapadwala gave me two options in treating the toenail & even tended to some warts that have been treated in the past. He also gave me an honest answer regarding my bunions; I asked for his opinion on whether surgery for my two bunions was adequate and he said no. Only about 5% of the bunions he sees require surgery. He recommended I wear stretchy mesh sneakers for comfort. He is the first podiatrist that didn’t recommended surgery; others I’ve seen seemed to be eager in grabbing their scalpel. Upon administering anesthesia I started feeling nauseous and sick. He laid me down and elevated my legs to help relieve the sickness. He kept me lying down through the procedure so I felt at ease. He also turned the fan on in the office. Overall, Dr. Kapadwala was super informative, honest and professional. I go back to him in a few weeks for a follow up regarding my warts. I couldn’t thank him and his staff enough for being so accommodating in such an urgent time. Thank you Dr. and I look forward to my next visit !

Dr. Kapadwala is an extremely knowledgable podiatrist. I have visited him for two separate injuries, and he provided information for both on how to recover. He is direct, and appointments have usually lasted five minutes. However, even though he is knowledgeable, that does not mean he has been helpful. The first time I went to him was after I had an onset of sharp pain and sensitivity after running. I had gone to a local hospital which stated I had plantar fasciitis. I told Dr. Kapadwala this during the first time to which he replied "what, did you diagnose it yourself". To his credit, I do believe the hospital gave me an improper diagnosis, but how arrogant is it to assume that I had WebMD-ed myself before seeking professional help. He did this again to my brother, who came in with an ankle sprain "Did you just find that out on Google" That part is a bit funny because no, I actually advised him to come in after sitting through your entire PowerPoint presentation on ankle sprains. Anyways here is my complaint, I went to Dr. Kapadwala a few weeks after my ankle sprain (which is my fault), and he did do an assessment. I'm not sure why he did not request further imaging, perhaps I was past the time where something could be found on xray, and the areas which he palpated I did not have pain during that time. But I told him that that pain comes back frequently and I had arrived just after resting it. I came back a month later and he stated my ankle had improperly healed, I had used an improper brace. I had told him I got a brace from CVS, he could have at least shown me an image of a proper one. That was the last meeting I had, during which he said "I do not even know the timeline of when you should begin physical therapy exercises now that it is incorrectly healed." But after the sprain continued to feel unstable after 4 months, I decided to get a second opinion, since I knew Dr. Kapadwala would provide no further insight. The second clinic not only provided me a brace which I did have to pay for out of pocket, they told me I could still get an MRI and wrote me a script, as well as recommended an imaging center where I could get it done in addition to the one I had already chosen. After I left, they even called back to say that they would request a reimbursement through my insurance for the brace and refund me the money if it was approved. They went above and beyond for my care. They said my ankle would heal within three weeks of using this brace, I have now had it on for a week and I truly do feel significant improvement. At the age of 25, I was very worried that I would now have to deal with chronic ankle pain from the information provided by Dr. Kapadwala, but that is not the case. Dr. Kapadwala, you work in an area where most patients are at an economic disadvantage, they go to you trusting your expertise. I have no reservations that you are a well-educated podiatrist, but your knowledge does nothing if it does not resolve the issue at hand. I have only gone back because of the proximity and due to how difficult it is to find providers through my insurance, but I will not be coming back. I won't even state the complaints I have during the care you provided my brother, I believe my own experiences are enough. This is not to deter you from visiting this clinic, I feel he is a receptive provider, and hope this information can be used to better your practice in the future.

We are very happy with Dr. Kapadwala. He has very good bed side manners. This appointment was for my 16 year old son for some annoying ingrown toenails. Dr. Kapadwala did a great job with explaining what he was going to do to resolve this occurring issue. We will continue to see Dr. Kapadwala…I’m looking to recommend my family and friends.

I decided to make an appointment to see Dr Kapadwala due to the convenience of living in the neighborhood and for a simple ingrown toe nail. My appointment was at 415pm and I decided to come early because I was a new patient. After waiting for almost 2 hours his secretary tells me Dr. Kapadwala will not see me until they verify my insurance. Apparently my primary insurance is out of network and when I told them to use my secondary insurance. His secretary tells me they don't take secondary insurance. After I explained to his secretary that's the reason for a secondary is to fulfill whatever my primary insurance won't cover. They finally ran my secondary insurance which the visit will cover. Dr Kapadwala STILL REFUSED TO TREAT ME OR SEE ME UNTIL HE VERIFIED MY SECONDARY INSURANCE. ON TOP OF THAT I EXPLAINED THE REASON FOR ME SIGNING THE GUARANTOR IS THAT I WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING MY INSURANCE WON'T PAY AND HE STILL REFUSED TO SEE OR TREAT ME. HIS PRACTICE IS UNPROFESSIONAL WITH VERY POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. THIS GOES TO SHOW THAT HE DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HIS PATIENT'S ALL HE CARES ABOUT IS HIS MONEY!!!!!

Dr. Kapadwala and his team are a great combination, he is an excellent doctor with wonderful bedside manners.

I went to Dr. Kapadwala, and he was at first effective and would cut to the chase about getting things done, which was fine. He had really great reviews, and so I just looked past the unprofessionalism about the clinic (front desk people eating full meals while speaking with me; Dr. Kapadwala taking a 5 minute business call while I was in my appointment with him; arriving for my appointment, only to have to sign in like the other walk-ins and wait my turn in line; etc). However, after I while I wanted to see a second opinion and asked for my medical records, and he said that first I would need to come in to get them myself (he couldn't email/fax them) and that it would also cost money (around $30 I think) -- on the basis that they were understaffed and would need to have someone there to print the papers, and that it would cost a certain amount to print per page. Overall it seemed like he took it very personally that I was asking for my medical records -- which is ENTIRELY in my right to do, they are my records -- and tried to take advantage of me in this scenario. I ended up canceling my follow-up appointment with him and seeing somebody else because of how he acted in this situation. ***Response to Dr. Kapadwala's comment: I was only trying to point out a few mistakes that you made during my time seeing you so that you could take the comments and learn from them. All you have done since then is make these excuses, call me with excuses, offer me free care if I want it, ask me to take the review down, etc. I believe that you are an overall good doctor, but I was just hoping for an acknowledgment that you made a few mistakes that made me very uncomfortable at times. I was trying to seek a second opinion, and you said that the only way to get my records was to have them printed. I asked you multiple times, and you gave me this same answer. You never said there was an online portal or any other way to get them over email until after the fact (months later), and so because of this I was unable to get my records because I didn’t want to come into the clinic and pay for hard copies. Yes, this made me feel very uncomfortable and taken advantage of that you did not inform me about a free way to get my records online. (Btw, I'm not disputing the 75cent/pg law, and I never have. The problem is that you never said there was a different way to get my records other than this, until months later.) I have also never had a doctor take a call about another patient as I am in the doctor’s chair with my foot up to be examined. It doesn’t matter what the call is about — interrupting my scheduled appointment to deal with another matter is unprofessional and did not make me feel like I was a priority to you. Maybe these were simple mistakes and they might not have been intentional, but honestly all you needed to do was acknowledge these actions or apologize and you still haven’t done so.

Highly recommended. Great service, very informative.

Very Helpful and Nice doctor. Explained what problem I'm having clearly.

Went to the Foot Doctor there with my Brother who has diabeties. He had a cut on his toe. The doctor was very nice and informative. Very clean office. Great service from the girls in the front desk also.

Dr, Kapadwala is a well known doctor. I totally recommend him to anyone who suffers from any foot issues. He has treated my family members for foot pain and ingrown toenails. Every time I come to his clinic, I always walk away pain free!

Dr Kapadwala is a fantastic foot and ankle specialist! I highly recommend him!

My experience with Dr. Kapadwala was a very positive one. He was very clear about options and success rates. The procedure that he performed went quickly and without incident. He was very accommodating. Thank you for making my foot surgery as painless as possible.

Dr. Kapadwala's presence is warm, kind and genuine. I had to get four shots in my foot over a period of few weeks and I hardly felt any pain. I find him very comforting and gentle. I also found his secretary to be polite and kind.

Great experience at the office of Dr Kapadwala. Highly recommended

Dr Kapadwala is a fantastic foot and ankle specialist! ! Been going to him for many years and can only say that my entire family loves him! I highly recommend him! Really happy I found this office.
