Dr. Gary Briskin, DPM, Podiatrist Patient Reviews

I would appreciate you not posting this. I like Dr. Briskin and would recommend him with some reservations to friends. He seems to be good at his job; helped me avoid surgery for a torn Achilles tendon, and operated on an ingrown toenail which is still healing. He is not very communicative about what he intends to do to fix your problem or what you need to do afterward to prevent a re-occurrence, so you have to ask a lot of questions both before and after treatment. Again, he is a nice guy and personable and so far has helped with each of my foot problems.

For new/first time patients, offer to email them the patient forms so they can print them at home, fill them out and bring them already completed. It's easier to provide some of that info ( name of medications being taken, dosage, etc.) if you can access the bottles. Hard to know some of that info by heart when completing the forms in your waiting area. Also, I wasn't called in for about 30 minutes after my appt. time - that shouldn't happen.

Dr. Brisken was great, he was able to locate the cause of my symptoms and even showed me that my concerns of tearing ligaments/muscles in my foot were unfounded with a few simple tests.

The exercises provided to me were beneficial in relieving the plantar fasciitis pain in my foot.

Hello there !
*all was great-except for automatically being directed to get an X-ray of my foot. I knew I didn’t need one because it can only read “bones”- I knew it had to do more with a nerve/tendon...It would have been unnecessary radiations ! +possible out of pocket expense.
