Dr. Ovidio Joseph Falcone

Truly unprofessional, particularly in the area of speech. He uses profanity, and vulgar language. He is temperamental and explosive. He has an inferiority complex, regarding the hospitals he works for.

A highly skillful practitioner, a real doctor's soul without doubts, knows what he is doing based on the thousands of successful cases. Excellent sense of humor on top of all the medical skills.

Had a simple toe fracture that, in retrospect, I would have been better off avoiding this office for. First visit: Long wait time. Credit card machine "broken." Doc saw me for 3 minutes tops, during which he refused to look at the X-ray from the urgent care, relying on the radiology report which he deemed "all that he needed." Probably just wasn't comfortable opening an email attachment. Referred me for further X-ray after a weeks of healing. What happened to the X-ray machine in his office? Probably connected to the credit card machine. 2nd visit: Even longer wait time (1.5hrs). Credit card machine still "broken." It was obvious that the staff had triple or even quadruple booked the doc. Had to chase down the doc when the time on my parking meter was getting close. Confronted the doc about the wait time, which he stated was "just something that happens when you get to this level. It's not something consistent, at least." Get off your high horse, doc, and read the reviews here. Forced the doc to look at the X-rays this time, after it was clear that he just skimmed the radiology report. This time, he stated that "the radiology report and my interpretation are two different things." Asked that we do this again all over in 3 weeks. What a joke. Avoid this office at all cost. Very clearly just a racket. Had a simple toe fracture that, in retrospect, I would have been better off avoiding this office for. … More

This review is exclusively to Dr. Ovidio Falcone, this is the kind of podiatry everyone needs, professional, very kind, knowledgeable, he knows what he is doing. Very good doctor and that's why I'm giving him 5 stars. I had no problem with the staff BUT when I got into the office, no patients were there at all, however, after me, people began coming in, and were the first ones to be called, I waited for more than one hour to see the doctor. Waiting time was ridiculous. This review is exclusively to Dr. Ovidio Falcone, this is the kind of podiatry everyone needs, professional, very kind, knowledgeable, he knows what he is doing.

I never even got to meet him because his staff is so awful. I had a first appointment scheduled and no one called to confirm so the day of the appointment I called and was told all appointments had been canceled because he was held up from his trip overseas. I was upset no one called me but decided to reschedule in 2 weeks. The day before my appointment I get a call saying they had just called my insurance and that I didn’t have podiatry benefits so I would have to pay for my visit. I did have podiatry benefits, I think the woman was just incompetent and had no idea what she was doing. Very disappointed in how this was handled, I was told when I made the appointment my insurance eligibility was verified and that he was in network. They wasted weeks of my time, especially since I was going for foot pain. I would not recommend this place. I never even got to meet him because his staff is so awful.

Dr. Falcone has helped my son get back to doing what he loves! My son was misdiagnosed for years. He was told he had severs when he complained of heel pain. After spraining his ankle an X-ray was done and there was a benign bone tumor found that had eaten away at 1/3 of his heel. I saw several surgeons that would refer me elsewhere. We had gone to see Dr. Falcone in Astoria traveling to him over an hour. He explained what my son had, showed us pictures of the same surgery he had performed and he put us at ease. Being an ICU nurse I could tell he was a seasoned surgeon and that my son was in good hands. He fixed my son's sprain, removed the bone tumor and did a bone graft. Within 6 months my son was back playing basketball at an A division AAU level. I would recommend Dr. Falcone to anyone who needs a foot and ankle surgeon. Not only is he proficient in his field, but he has an amazing bedside manner. Dr. Falcone has helped my son get back to doing what he loves! My son was misdiagnosed for years.

Dr.Falcone is a nice guy and a good doctor, but his office staff is horrible. Very nasty, they keep you waiting, full of attitudes. I see it hasn't changed since the last review 4 years ago.
