Dr. Ronald Brian Etskovitz

Arrogant, uses so-called "expertise" by slapping demo foot inserts on table in front of pt., b.s terminology, e.g "30 step algorhythm"..absolutely to be avoided, unless you like bowing down to one beneath his service--you're gonna get what you deserve!

I've been seen by diff. dr's over past 15 years at this practice. I wonder,IF Dr. Octo (sp) was using his"allgoryhtmic learning over 30 years" (his words) to beat me with his medical affectation aka"covid?who cares,retiring soon, taking all seeking help over the Bounty's plank". It might have been helpful, in a weird way, if he'd a neutral way of presenting "expert power"like a captain before launching a nuke strike on pts. Or even if he had a sense of humor, like Cap'nCrunch in milk-parched in soggies,after dousing $1000's in ortho Dr.do-little inserts/Seimens sonic-and experimental"therapy". He wrote down shoes he almost demanded I buy (from various 'ortho-stiff"mfrs)..and then yelled"first u say this, then u say that" like a duck in Make Way For Suckerlings or Chris Walken Weapon Of Choice! He even violently hand-smashed his own orthotic insert sev. x on table, aka"I'm stiffer!" Yes, he is, and compensating for zero compassion/listening.Avoid, avoid, avoid

Probably one of the most knowledgeable but unfortunately far too combative with whom to have a conversation and as stated by someone previously, interprets (and interrupts) every question you ask as an attack on him personally. Far too defensive - imagines your questioning his ability or know how instead of realizing the patient is just innocently asking a question for clarification. Really a shame since he's so capable. Probably part of that comes from knowing he really does have the answers, which is highly ironic. Also seems annoyed if you don't buy all the overpriced items he recommends or very annoyed if you want to 'think about it first.'

I have been seeing Dr. Etskovitz for 20 years. His care and orthotics have made a huge improvement in my quality of life. He is knowledgeable and explains everything clearly.

Knowledgeable, friendly and thorough. ALWAYS on time, too, which I appreciate greatly.

Yeah, so the doc is the kind of guy who doesn't like it if you ask a question. He takes it as an insult, like you're questioning his judgment when maybe you just don't know if something is working the way it should. Really not what you want in a doctor. Then the thing that really made me mad was that they messed up in submitting a claim to my insurance and when I called them and asked them nicely to correct it they said they wouldn't do it unless I was sure it would solve the problem then hung up on me. So far I've been on the phone with my insurance for an hour trying to get help and I know health care pretty well. I won't go there again. On the other hand, when he stopped yelling at me he was right about my foot. Yeah, so the doc is the kind of guy who doesn't like it if you ask a question.

He is knowledgeable, explains in detail what's going on with your foot, explains a range of procedures from low-level to surgery, takes as much time as you need, and is quite personable.
