Dr. Gary Briskin, DPM, Podiatrist Patient Reviews

As I was on a blood thinner or even if I were not on the blood thinner, I have a few requests for future care:
1. I would have liked to have had a much more absorbent bandage on my foot to absorb the blood that ended up bleeding through my sock and all over the inside of my shoe. The mess left for me to clean up when my foot huringt was disappointing & very disconcerting if also a bit scary & unexpected since I could not see the bottom of my foot.
2. A sheet of information on the care of my wound and injection site would have been extremely helpful. My foot swelled so quickly and was so painful I called the office immediately when I arrived home. I was given a waiver to sign with the possible side effects and was not given a copy to take home. Plus, there were no aftercare recommendations on that sheet that I can remember after my brief look.
3. The question I asked Dr Briskin about my 2nd toe on my right foot was extremely well explained. I appreciate the detailed information on the possible fix & recovery.

Disappointed there are not more options for aging toenails with fungus that works. I’m thinking of going to another podiatrist that may offer laser treatment for toenail fungus or if you offered that, though expensive, a payment schedule that would be more affordable.

Dr Briskin is the best. When my husband broke a bone in his foot he was not a happy camper. But from the initial office visit (great that Dr Briskin has some office hours in the south bay) to the surgery and followup visits the foot is healing nicely. Appreciate that Dr Briskin has done several x-rays to make sure the bone is healing properly. Wouldn*t hesitate to refer him to family and friends

My orthodics are much improved. The staff members who helped me were SO
patient and kind. Dr. Briskin has improved the condition of my feet on many
occasions in the eleven years that I have been his patient. With sincere
appreciation,

After toenails were cut, staff member sanded down nails and rough spots. I bled on a toe and underneath foot. I left with 2 bandages to stop the bleeding. I don't want to get anyone in trouble, or lose a job, but just need to remind staff to be more gentle.

I think x-rays should be shown & explained in greater depth with the patient to allow for us asking more questions. Instead of doc just talking with intern/shadow doc about it like the patient isn't there.

The only problem: the person who booked me in should have been told to take an X ray of my foot. Dr. Briskin was 45 minutes late and when he came to examining room - no XRay. Back to Square One. I was so delayed that day I missed a subsequent appointment. Two hours for a fifteen minute appointment.
I am NOT criticizing the care.
