Dr. Joseph Grillo

I'm a 70 year old female. I could barely walk when I came to Dr Grillo. My feet were in extreme pain. Dr Grillo is my all time favorite doctor! He is very kind, funny and super competent. He drew up a plan and was very cautious to cause no further harm to my already battered feet. He is straight forward which I love. He explains everything and gives you alternatives if possible. I am so lucky to have found him. My feet will never be 18 year old feet again but man oh man has he make a difference! Love & kisses Dr Grillo and your wonderful staff.

On 3-8 I had my first appointment with Dr. Grillo. The entire staff treated me warmly and with care. These are people happy to come to work. He also offers medical pedicures. Janet is the technician and gentle and kind. It’s nice to not be worried anymore about infections or rushed pedicures. To say he is extraordinary is not saying enough. His keen eyes were able to look at my feet and I felt my feet were in great hands. He is honest to a fault. He sugarcoats nothing. It was a relief to have someone care enough having just met me to let me know I am ok. I want directly to my primary physician as I had an appointment. I took all of Dr. Grillo’s information with me so he can start referring patients to someone who could be trusted. I have to bring up the characters he has on display. I for one loved looking at them and Frankenstein and others put a huge smile on my face. I understand there are different ones in different rooms. Well done Dr. Grillo!

This is the most professional, pleasant and honest provider that I have ever seen. I have had an office job for 10 years and now find myself as a floor nurse in a nursing home. I almost had to quit my job because of the pain in my feet. I found myself taking many medications with no relief. I went to the Good Feet Store and brought several hundreds of dollars on shoes for work. Again, no relief. I read the reviews of Dr. Grillo on line and gave his office a call. Dr. has been a God send. I have been able to keep my job, follow his suggestions and recommendations. Dr. did a complete analysis of my history, reviewed x-rays and recommended a few plans of care. I will continue to recommend this physician to any health care worker or to someone who is suffering with foot pain.

DR. GRILLO IS "EXTREMELY KNOWLEDGEABLE", COMPASSIONATE, AND VERY FRIENDLY. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY. DR GRILLLO'S "STAFF" IS EQUALLY KNOWLEDGEABLE, COMPASSIONATE, AND FRIENDLY. MY WIFE IS "EXTREMELY HAPPY" WITH THE FANTASTIC CARE AND RESULTS FROM THE "SPA" TREATMENTS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR GRILLO AND STAFF !!! 100% !!!!

Dr. Grillo is amazing. He is straightforward and tells it like it is. He is very caring and he really cares about his patients and his employees. His employees are very helpful and they make you feel at home. They are always smiling and you can tell that they love their job and who they work for. I recommend him to everyone who needs a podiatrist. Dr. Grillo is amazing. He is straightforward and tells it like it is. He is very caring and he really cares about his patients and his employees.

Doctor Grillo was very professional and thorough

When Dr started lecturing me about where I bought my shoes that he felt caused my problem and I responded, he pulled down his mask and told me that “if I wouldn’t listen to him I should leave his office”. He treated me with such complete lack of professionalism, such arrogance and rudeness, I will never return to his practice and will advise others to not go to him for “care”.

I e never been to a doctor that I feel genuinely cared and was totally honest in his assessment. I loved him!

Dr. Grillo and his staff are very attentive, knowlegable and wonderful to work with. I highly recommend him!

Somehow I got crosswise with the doctor about what I wanted and what he was willing to do. I got a long patronizing lecture on my honesty vs. HIS honesty which I didn't appreciate. This afternoon I ran across Diogenes and sent him to Dr. Grillo's address.

I don’t know if Dr Grillo woke up on the wrong side of the bed but I’ve never been treated so poorly by a doctor. He had a scowl the entire time. He seemed angry with any question I had. He made me feel unsafe. I walked out of the appointment. It was that bad. UPDATE: As you can see from his response. He’s got issues. I’m not the one who needs a psychiatrist I can assure you I don’t know if Dr Grillo woke up on the wrong side of the bed but I’ve never been treated so poorly by a doctor.

I wen to Dr Grillo at the recommendation of my Primary Care Physician about two years ago. He discussed with me what I could do to alleviate my issue. This year I decided to follow through on his recommended solution. Everything has turned out fine and I am walking and doing sports pain free. I would definitely return to Dr Grillo if I have any other podiatric issues. I wen to Dr Grillo at the recommendation of my Primary Care Physician about two years ago.

My experience with Dr Grillo and his entire staff was exceptional. I had foot pain for a long time and after taking X-rays Dr Grillo explained the problem and provided me with options. I had out patient surgery and follow up. The Dr and his staff are professional and caring. Dr Grillo has great credentials and seeing him was the best choice I could have made.

I went to see doctor Grillo yesterday. Honestly I couldn’t of had a better experience. The ladies up front were very personable and very sweet. Dr Grillo and his assistant went above and beyond for what I actually went in for. I went in to have a toe nail removed. He took my toe nail off and was kind enough to cut all my toe nails. He also saw a mole on my other foot and he really checked it out and didn’t like what he saw. He gave me an injection for the pain and removed the mole and sent it away to be looked at. I had just saw a dermatologist the week before and she just said she would keep an eye on it, even tho I told her it was getting bigger. He really took his time with me. Really a nice man. I loved the whole staff and dr Grillo is great. Highly recommend him. I went to see doctor Grillo yesterday. Honestly I couldn’t of had a better experience.

Dr. Grillo was honest, real, compassionate & funny. He encouraged me to lose weight by sharing his struggle with being overweight at times in his life, rather than making me feel bad. He had great, non-invasive solutions to my foot problems. Looking forward to taking his advice and attending my follow-up visit.

This is one of the best physicians I have ever been to see. Dr. Grillo is passionate about his field of expertise and truly cares about his patients. I appreciate his honesty and frankness. So many medical professionals avoid telling patients the truth about their medical condition and that helps no one. His staff are so friendly, nice and helpful. I highly recommend anyone with foot problems to go see Dr. Grillo. I immediately went out and purchased the shoes and socks he recommended for me and my feet already feel better. He truly wants his patients to avoid surgery, if possible. I wish there were more caring, knowledgeable physicians like him. I am blessed to have found him.

Everyone was so polite and friendly. Mr. Joseph Grillo was very kind, informative, and helpful. I would recommend to anyone in need of a podiatrist!! Thank you!

Everyone is always so nice and welcoming. I always felt like Dr.Grillo genuinely cared. I will be recommending him to my friends and family.

I absolutely love Dr. Grillo and his fabulous staff! He will take time to explain everything in detail and the entire office provides a warm and caring environment. You will not be disappointed in the care you receive!

Dr. Grillo and his incredible staff enough are simply outstanding! When I first visited their office I was almost embarrassed to show them the condition of my nails and feet, but not any more. I followed the treatment plan and recommendations of Dr. Grillo and am amazed by the drastic improvement of of the nails and bottoms of my feet...I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Grillo!

Staff extremely friendly. Dr Grillo was amazing. He told me the problem I was having with my foot; gave me recommendations & his advise.

DR. JOSEPH GRILLO IS A STRAIGHT SHOOTER, HE TELLS YOU LIKE IT IS, I LIKE A DOCTOR THAT DOSNT SUGAR COAT ISSUES. HE AND HIS STAFF ARE AWESOME. HIGHLY RECOMMEND DOCTOR GRILLO.

I unequivocally recommend Dr. Joseph Grillo, DPM and his marvelous staff to anyone and everyone who is in need of professional foot care and treatment. His diagnosis includes a comprehensive explanation of the cause and all of the options of treatment, along with his recommendation. He encourages questions and you never feel rushed. His patience, compassion, personality, and respect for his patients are exemplary. I, personally enjoy each visit, beginning with being greeted by name, from him and each member of his pleasant staff. I encourage you to contact his office at 239-931-3668, conveniently located at 14391 Metropolis Ave # 104, Fort Myers, FL 33912. You will happy you did!

Dr. Grillo was so wonderful and professional. I knew I was in knowledgeable hands. His staff is excellent not to mention his office! He has incredible memorabilia from concerts to Super Heroes! Very impressed.

Everyone was super nice and the office was clean. Loved his office decor....really cool Figurines. Dr. Grillo was very knowledgeable....like a jedi....a Jedi master for feet. He knew right away what was wrong with my feet..gave me everything needed to fix me up. I am very grateful and I will definitely recommend him.

I can not praise Dr.Grillo enough and i can never repay him his kindness and genuine compassion for his patients. I came to Dr. Joe about 15 plus years ago after being treated by several other podiatrist who could not help me.Dr. Joe treated my foot conditions and improved my foot care immensely. He then corrected a few other problems with surgery and he was and always is meticulous, caring, and the best doctor i have ever had the pleasure of seeing.Thanks. Dr.Joe and all your staff. The girls are great to work with too and always helpful and fun..I give them all 10 shiney stars.

I had an amazing experience with Dr Grillo, he was extremely compassionate & very knowledgeable. Made me feel very at ease and comfortable. My whole experience was very enjoyable. His staff is super welcoming & compassionate as well. I will definitely be recommending my family & friends to his practice! I highly recommend:)

Too often, people are quick with their criticism, and slow with their compliments about a service or product. In catching up, I want to extend an overdue appreciation to Dr. Joseph Grillo. Dr. Grillo takes a personal interest in getting to know his patients, and explaining a route to his assistance to his patients. He is a good listener, displays attention to detail, is conscientious, and has a high energy level. Where there is a sense of urgency, he explains this to his patient. His entire office staff is also outstanding. Dr. Grillo sets the tone. During my last visit, I had the opportunity to also be initially seen by Melody. She has been with Dr. Grillo for 29-30 years, and was exceptional for my prep with Dr.Grillo. Dr. Grillo and Office Staff are the best.

Dr. Grillo and his staff were amazing! Dr. Grillo listen to my problem and took time to explained what the cause of my pain and how to eliminate the pain. I highly recommend Dr. Grillo.

I first consulted with Dr Grillo last year when my foot pain was becoming unbearable. I really liked how he was straight forward and didn't beat around the bush about what I would be facing. He gave me the cold, hard facts with no sugar coating and advised me to take my time to think about it before committing to corrective surgery. Several months later, I had decided to move forward with the surgery and returned to discuss it further. He advised that there was a new procedure that could greatly reduce my recovery time but admitted that he had only done it one time previously. I decided to trust him and I went through with the surgery. I have never regretted my decision. Dr Grillo's follow up and genuine concern has been nothing short of amazing. He even called me at home to inquire how I was doing. He has continued to follow up every few weeks with an x-ray to make sure things are progressing as anticipated. If you're looking for straight forward honesty with no "fluff", genuine concern, professionalism and a fabulous office staff, I highly recommend Dr Grillo.

Exceptional treatment from both Dr.Grillo and his staff. He explained everything in a way I could understand and provided solutions without unnecessary procedures.

I went to Dr. Grillo for an ingrown toenail and I was very nervous but he made me feel so comfortable and the assistant was honestly so sweet and I asked her a bunch of questions and she answered them all. I really appreciate Dr. Grillo and his office. Thank you!

Dr. Grillos office is very clean and well kept. The ladies at the front desk and his assistant are very nice and proficient . Dr. Grillo is very honest, straight forward, meticulous, and knowledgeable. I would recommend him to anyone I know.

I recently had the pleasure of receiving a deluxe pedicure at the Natural Aesthetic Spa (located within the practice of Dr. Joseph Grillo, DPM) from Janet Kwilasz, a compassionate and meticulous nail tech. I felt like a king sitting in her luxurious black leather pedicure throne with a very comfortable, cushy, oversize foot rest as she patiently took care of me. Janet's professional demeanor reflected the hospital grade sanitation she employs to promote a safe, holistic experience that was well worth the $40 investment. I left feeling confident with a spring in my step. It is easy to see what an asset she truly is to her team and the community she so lovingly and selflessly serves.

Dr. Grillo and his staff were very courteous and make me feel at ease with the procedure. BJ make sure I understood the whole financial situation. The Nurse was very pleasant to talk to and answered all my questions. I never had such a good experience with a foot doctor. Thank you Dr. Grillo

1st visit. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Grillo seems very open and honest. Time will tell. UPDATE: After my second appointment, I am still impressed with Dr. Grillo. One of his suggestions was to give me a shot for pain, but he recommended holding off until I had an MRI. His reason, “I don’t want to do an injection until I am sure it is the right thing to do.” Too many doctors are too quick to do something even if it may or may not help. I would rather live with the pain a few more weeks and then have Dr. Grillo figure out what is the RIGHT THING TO DO. Thank you Dr. Grillo Also, Dr. Grillo is VERY up front in dealing with me.

Dr. Grillo is terrific -- he had a "less is more" approach that I really appreciated. I went in believing my toenail would have to be removed. He said "let's try cutting it back first and then keep an eye on it." He cut the nail very slowly, a bit at a time, always asking "Is it okay if I cut it some more?" His staff are also excellent.

Had my first visit with Dr. Grillo today. Saw he was highly rated on Google and this was my first time ever considering seeing a podiatrist. The staff was very friendly. Dr. Grillo spent more time with me than any doctor ever has. Usually others give you five minutes and their staff does the rest. You may have read some negative reviews on here. Dr. Grillo is going to give it to you straight forward. If you’re not good with hearing things that are hard to swallow you’re going to have a hard time. I personally like that he didn’t try to baby me and got real with me about my weight (which he didn’t have to be concerned about and give me a suggestion for who to see but took the time to do so) and my bad shoes affecting my condition. The hard truth is what you’re gonna get and honestly that’s what most people need for a wake up call! I recommend if you want a doctor that’s real. Had my first visit with Dr. Grillo today.

I was very apprehensive about my visit, but everyone in the office was so friendly & professional.

The doctor and the staff were extremely knowledgeable, professional and my experience was wonderful, considering the circumstances. The reception staff were very friendly and answered all my questions. The office is top notch, clean and professional looking. Enjoyed the classic rock concert posters with old concert tickets and memorabilia. My ingrown toenail procedure went smoothly as they explained every part of the process before and even during my care. My after care instructions were very clear and I was scheduled a 2 week follow up appointment and was made aware that I could contact the office at any time if I had any questions or concerns.

Dr. Grillo and his staff are the best you will find in Fort Myers for foot care. I had to take my teenage son for an ingrown toenail that was very bad, as an emergency. His staff was the best patient care I have ever seen. All the nurses were very helpful and kind in caring for my son. Dr. Grillo was very professional and patient, he exceeded my expectations by far.

Dr. Grillo was most excellent with surgical skill in saving a toe from amputation. I am so grateful for his expertise and as a caring doctor.

Dr. Grillo treated me with genuine concern while being conservative in the approach for the appropriate treatment that I needed. He and staff are professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic.

Dr. Grillo and staff are professional, knowledgeable, and caring. The office is clean and I never waited longer than 5 minutes. My case was taken seriously with empathy along with a conservative approach both medically and financially. I cannot say enough great things about my experience under the circumstances. And I can honestly say that I’m going to miss seeing them regularly now that I am healed! So thank you all so much!

I would recommend Dr. Grillo to anyone needing foot care. He is very honest about what your best options are to solve your problem. The entire staff was very friendly and makes one feel at ease. i am very happy I chose this office to take care of my issues.

Didn't listen; cut my toe while cutting my nails; did unnecessary x-rays when all I needed was toenail cutting then was curt when I questioned him about it; weird office & staff with toys (Darth Vader etc) everywhere.

It has been awhile since I have seen Dr Grillo. I called to make an appointment and let’s just say after 7 minutes on the phone and still nothing set up, I decided to ask why this was taking so long, after being put on hold 3 times. She rudely told me she had other patients and that he was going on vacation. I cannot support a business that is rude for asking a simple question.

Great reception and assistance from office staff, along with medical procedure performed by Dr.Joseph Grillo and assistance. Dr.Grillo is very knowledgeable and provided me valuable information regarding my health.

My first and only appointment with this doctor was a terrible experience. I should have read the poor reviews. He was rude, arrogant, and has absolutely no "bedside manner." He became agitated when I questioned his treatment suggestions. When it became apparent this egotistical "Dr" was a bad choice, I had to tell him what I thought of his attitude and got up to leave. He literally screamed at me with vulgar expletives. I write this review for the benefit of others who are also looking for a podiatrist. Stay away from this one.

I am a retired physician, so I am pretty critical of physician care. Dr. Grillo takes a lot of time to examine and explain your foot issues. He answers all questions. His office is clean and efficient. I am extremely satisfied with my care. His technician staff is friendly and competent. I recommend him highly.

Dr Grillo and his staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I had this foot /ankle problem since July and after seeing many drs and having different tests and told it was nothing.It wasn't until my endocrinologist Dr Luna sent me to see Dr Grillo in December and he knew right away what was wrong with me . He knew I had a torn achilles tendon even before he sent me for an MRI. He did ever thing he could so I wouldn't have to have surgery, since I am a Type 1 diabetic. I had to wear a boot, then wear special sneakers, rest my foot and it healed beautifully. I am now playing Pickleball again with no problem. Thanks to Dr Grillo and his great staff. I would highly recommend him !!

Initially the toes was treated in the conservatively for several weeks. During this time Dr. Grillo told me that I may need surgery. I did have the surgery and it was basically painless. Dr. Grillo is professional and caring. He is a great educator for the patient to learn about the issues and surgery needed and post operative care. Dr Grillo gets right to the issues without sugar coated information. I like his no nonsense approach. I am very happy to have him as my podiatrist who is a foot surgeon as well.

Dr Grillo and his staff couldn't have been more friendly or responsive to my problem. They are efficient and very professional. I'm from out of state and feel very lucky to have been referred to Dr Grillo. I would definitely recommend Dr Grillo

Dr. Grillo and his staff were great. They listened to my problem and took time to explain how my injury happened and how to eliminate the pain. I highly recommend Dr. Grillo.

Dr. Grillo is the BEST!! After visiting may other podiatrists over my 60 years, I was very impressed on Dr. Grillo diagnosis of my problem. He "hit the nail on the head" and my issue was solved. His staff was also very efficient.

I went to Dr Grillo in late December, 2020 with extreme heel pain, after no luck with an orthpopedic doc. He spent as much time with me as needed, answering my questions, and trying to find the underlying problem. Not much was happening in the first month to relieve my pain, and I was growing more and more frustrated that I hadn't been able to walk without pain for 4 months. Even tho Dr Grillo could not pinpoint the problem immediately, he never gave up, constantly trying to find the culprit, and talking everything thru with me. Yesterday was a huge breakthru in my pain, as he was possibly able to finally figure it out, perform a small procedure/injection in the right spot, and all I know is that EVERY BIT of my pain went away almost immediately during my visit. His unending quest for the origin of my pain has truly helped in this difficult diagnosis. Now, I just pray we can fix it !!! And his office and staff are outstanding as well - highly recommend Dr Grillo. !

Exceptional treatment from both Dr. Grillo and his staff. He explained everything in a way I could understand and provided solutions without unnecessary procedures . He listens and is sincere about what he does. I thank him for all his input and helping me to get back on my feet again without pain, and his staff for being so welcoming and caring.

My first visit with Dr. Grillo and I am very pleased. Caring, courteous and efficient treatment from Dr. Grillo and his staff.

Dr Grillo is kind and patient and answered all my questions. He listens carefully and his manner is professional. He recommended solutions to my issues but did not attempt to change or fix anything that I did not request or ask him about, His staff is extremely friendly and helpful.

Very good and helpful visit. the receptionist, Melody, was helpful in getting me started and setup with my insurance and other paperwork. The assistant and Dr. Grillo were very excellent in taking care of my problem. professional, but also friendly and kept the appointment light and friendly.

Dr.Grillo and his staff made me feel very comfortable during my initial visit. Dr. Grillo spent quite a bit of time with me, and thoroughly explained my condition and treatment options. He was realistic but also very positive and supportive about my treatment and prognosis. He also gave me educational print outs to review. He is a very knowledgeable and professional physician. I would highly recommend him to others !

Great all around treatment

I wanted to take this time to reflect on my experience with Dr. Grillo and his staff. I suffered with a fractured toe for twenty years. I am an avid runner and cyclist. Dr. Grillo was my second opinion and was highly recommended by my neighbor who recovered so well. My first appointment was like a stage performance with Dr. Grillo’s office staff. Everyone had a part and all I could do is applaud them. They were very professional, friendly and experienced. Then I met Dr. Grillo who took his time answering my questions and explaining the pros and cons of surgery. He thoroughly explained my X-ray. I left his office with a feeling of relief and trust. He is extremely passionate about patient care. Expect him to take X-rays, suggest medical boots, medical shoes, compression socks, sneakers, provide his cell phone number for after hours, crack jokes, be serious and straight up. I am doing extremely well. No pain and back to my cycling. It is truly a miracle. Thank Dr. Grillo!

Not sure what all when on but my mother went yesterday to see Dr. Grillo and came home so upset. He said she talked too much ( she does talk a lot) and that she should never have gone to get the pedicure she got. He made all her toes bleed and cut the quick with no anesthetic. He continued to lecture her how bad nail salon workers are. She said she felt like she was being reprimanded the whole time. She got up and left. She is 82 years old. Not saying she’s an easy patient but most of her Doctors like her and she has had the same for years. Such a shame.

I had an appointment last week with Dr. Grillo. I am a nurse by trade so I know a bit about health issues and how to treat them. I must say I loved my treatment. Dr Grillo was straightforward, honest, funny and kind. He did not push any treatments but instead offered solid suggestions and gave me the opportunity to select what I wanted to do. The staff were also wonderful. You are in good hands when visiting them.

I came to my moms appointment because I felt the language barrier might be causing her problems. Dr. Grillo treated my mom like she was a dog. He was complaining about his challenges with her & I explain the languages barrier is the reason for the challenges. I explain that’s why i am here. He said its a common sense issue. I told him he was not going to treat my mom nor talk to my mom that way. He told me to get out. He was yelling by the way. He had a student with him. I don’t mind he was frustrated but be professional. Utilize me to minimize the challenges. I was shocked & wondered if that how he treated my mom the whole time. Make sure you go to your appt with your love one. These ppl are taking advantage of the elderly. I came to my moms appointment because I felt the language barrier might be causing her problems.

Dr.Grillo is NOT a passionate doctor that cares for people. He will embarrass you & belittle you because of lack of love. I definitely DONT recommend this doctor at all. RUN AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

My mother who has a language barrier was treated worse than an animal today and that’s with my sister being there. I can’t image how he treats my beloved mother when she’s on her own without one her children. Caring, passionate, and professionalism was thrown out the door. I wouldn’t recommend a single soul to go to his office. My sister was there to help with language barrier and try to make situations much easier. With how situations was settled didn’t seem to end well with kicking the patient and my sister out. I just hope it could be handled better.

The doctor was excellent. He and his assistant were very thorough, spent time with me, examined me thoroughly, and explained everything in a common sense understandable way. Stated that surgery should be a last resort, and provided alternatives.

Pre-appointment paper work done on line, office spotless, office staff very friendly and helpful, Dr Grillo concise and to the point . Foot note (no pun intended) Bring your shoes that you wear the most daily so he can inspect and make comments. I would recommend Dr. Grillo and his staff to anyone with podiatric needs!

My experience with Dr. Grillo and his entire office has been great! Seems that doctors these days have a fear of giving you their opinion, not Dr. Grillo. He communicated clearly what he thought was wrong and equally as clearly what he expected from me. I apperciate his direct no nonsense approach spin that he puts into medicine. With that said he is still personable and had no problems making each visit enjoyable. Also Dr. Grillo runs a tight ship, be on time, pay attention, be respectful, and relax, they will take care of you! My experience with Dr. Grillo and his entire office has been great!

Dr. Grillo's office is amazing. My husband has been having some foot issue. They are the friendliest office, each of them. Whenever he needs to be seen they get us in immediately. One of the best doctors for genuine patient services.

I am always extremely satisfied with my visits to Dr.Grillo's office. I have had two ingrown toenail surgeries done by Dr. Grillo. While the procedure is slightly painful, Dr.Grillo does an amazing job with keeping it as painless and quick as possible. The entire office staff is absolutely amazing, and they all make sure you are as comfortable as possible during your visit. Dr.Grillo gets right to the point during appointments which makes for less time waiting around at the office. This is a fantastic office, and I cannot recommend it more! I am always extremely satisfied with my visits to Dr.Grillo's office. I have had two ingrown toenail surgeries done by Dr. Grillo. While the procedure is slightly painful, Dr.Grillo does an amazing job with keeping it as painless and quick … More

Dr Grillo (and all staff) are wonderful! They make a tremendous effort to ensure each patient receives the best possible care and undivided attention during the appointment. I am confident that I am receiving the best medical care for my needs after each visit with Dr. Grillo.

Love the staff excellent! Dr Grillo is straight up right to the point! Honest, If you want no pain listen to him my foot is so much better. couldn't hardly walk on it. Since I went to him and got the proper shoes and more already much better!

First visit yesterday. Very pleased with the results. Dr Grillo is the best! And his staff is wonderful, every last one of them.

I became a patient of Dr. Grillo in a season of life when I did not have insurance. Both then and now that I have insurance, I have experienced nothing but great care by Dr. Grillo and his team. They always treat me with respect and genuinely care. I have had several issues and they have provided me great steps toward treatment in every case. I can't recommend them enough. They shoot straight to the point and work to help you in your pursuit of health.

Starting with my initial visit, I found Dr. Grillo to be very professional, knowledgeable and caring about my foot issues. He also noticed a different symptom that could possibly be an underlying factor causing my foot pain. He is straight forward and took time to explain my condition and answered my questions. He also has a keen sense of humor that I can relate to. His office staff were polite and prompt with scheduling and appointment reminders. I would definitely recommend Dr. Grillo for any podiatry problems.

Dr. Grillo performed a fairly complex surgery on my foot in early October....a surgery that other doctors were hesitant to attempt. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Grillo's expert skill, kindness and ability to explain the surgery and recovery process to me in terms that I could easily understand. He and his staff were extremely professional, thorough and kind in all of my dealings with them. To put it simply...they are the BEST!!

Dr. Grillo spent a good amount of time with me explaining the cause of the issues I am experiencing and the prognosis of my condition. He was very straightforward and clear in his analysis and unusually good at patient communication (for a doctor). His staff is tremendously kind and knowledgeable as well, especially that Melody person. I felt very well taken care of!

I have been having foot pain for a month and was told by a local Dr. it was a foot infection. NOT! Dr. Grillo was able to immediately determine that was not the case and knew exactly what was wrong. He is very professional and explains things completely. His staff is also very professional and welcoming. One of the only times I can say it was a pleasant experience to go to the doctors!! Would highly recommend Dr. Grillo and his staff!

I have seen Dr's all over the world and on my first visit I realized Dr. Grillo and his staff were one of the best if not the best I've ever seen. He tells it like it is and with great confidence. He reminded me of me when I was younger. Just a note the staff was outstanding.

This was my first visit for a sprain to my right foot. I found the Doctor and his entire staff friendly and eager to help even to the extent of bringing the paperwork to register to me rather than me having to walk up to the desk which was greatly appreciated! I have a follow I two week to check my progress.

He and his staff treat me with respect and kindness. I never feel rushed by anyone. They answer any questions I may have.

Very unprofessional. Was very belligerent to me. After months of following his inaccurate assessment, I went to another great podiatrist. The new podiatrist gave me an accurate assessment and treatment. I was better in 2 days. I DO NOT recommend Grillo!

I didn’t even give them a chance because of how poorly the receptionists social skills were. I chose a different dr. Due to the rudeness of reception. I’m not going to go into detail with the entire conversation, but I was very polite & friendly when asking a couple of questions before deciding on making an appt. with dr Grillo. The response I received made me feel as if my health wasn’t of much importance to them & how soon I would be seen depended on how good of an insurance policy I had. That should not matter. Yes, I do have great insurance, but I will not be recommending this office. The dr. May be great but if I’m not recieving all around good service...I’d rather find an office that will.

I have never been treated so nasty by a doctor in my life. This doctor doesn't have any manners. Since the first visit he had an attitude. I had surgery on 1/25/19 and went to see him 3 days later. He had left my incision open so when I went to see him 3 days later he started squeezing it I was in scrusiating pain and he started screaming at me telling me that I he couldn't treat me if I was going to be histercla. Animals are treated better than the way this doctor has treated me. I have never been treated so nasty by a doctor in my life. This doctor doesn't have any manners.

Great doctor!

Knowledgeable, No nonsense, honest and caring Dr and staff

I would highly recommend Dr. Grillo. He and his staff were tremendous..I felt like I've been visiting the office for years and it was my first visit..

I went to Dr. Grillo with a Morton’s neuroma . He convinced me I didn’t need surgery , but to wear shoes that would would give me relief. I haven’t had any pain since . Thanks

Everybody there is very friendly. They create a comfortable environment and homey feel. I never have to wait long to get into a room or to see Dr. Grillo. Dr. Grillo is a very straight forward, no nonsense doctor. I appreciate this because he will not beat around the bush or sugar coat things. He was able to have a good idea of what was going on before any tests and when the tests came back they just confirmed his original diagnosis. He was able to explain things in a manner that it is easy to understand and took the time to answer any questions I had. He came up with a couple different routes I could take to help my condition and told me his recomendations as to the course we should take. He is the type of doctor that does not want to take extreme measures if unnecessary. I am very satisfied with my experience and will continue to follow the treatment course he gave me.

My young son is a patient of Dr. Grillo for flat feet and chronic pain. While clearly this office mostly sees adults, they took such care and delight in seeing a little boy. The ladies in the front were very kind, respectful and efficient. They got us in as soon as possible. Dr. Grillo is, yes, a serious and professional person. He is clear, direct and to the point. His honesty about my sons shoes initially was hard to hear but he is just a direct person. Dr. Grillo talked to my 8 year old, joked with him and asked him questions. He even talked to him about the book he was reading and encouraged his learning about science. It felt like he went out of his way to make sure my son had a good experience. He shared a practical joke with him which my son loved. I think he made a good and calming impression on my scared little man who was worried he would need foot surgery or injections. His recommendations were very precise and since we began following them, his pain has improved noticeably. I appreciate his candor. While some people may clash with Dr. Grillo, I appreciate his no nonsense, excellent medical care. Thank you! My young son is a patient of Dr. Grillo for flat feet and chronic pain.

I'd first want anyone who reads my review to know that Dr. Joseph Grillo and his wonderful staff was very professional, caring, and understanding. Even though I didnt have any insurance I was treated the same way as if i did. My Wife finding Dr. Grillo was the best find ever, because what he and his staff did for me in the one office visit. Dr. Grillo truly helped me any so many ways and what he done for me is worth a visit. Dr. Grillo is very passionate about helping others. James L, Cape Coral
