Downstate Foot & Ankle Podiatry

This place is the worst doctors office I been to. I waited over an 1 hour and 30 minutes for an appointment and when I had enough of waiting I told them I was leaving the doctor said “ok bye”. Disgusting service and staff stay away. They have the elderly sitting there for hours just collecting copays.

I came in here for a 3:30 pm appointment and at 5:32, I still wasn’t seen. They said that 2 people were ahead of me and they lied. I was then gaslight into thinking I was being impatient. I won’t be coming back and if you value your time as a a New Yorker, don’t come here. They just here to get a check from your insurance.

Appointment was at 10:30am; it’s now 12:30pm and I’m still in the waiting room. My appointment time was 2 hours ago! Asked about how much longer it’ll take and was just told there’s a lot of patients to be seen with two people still in front of me. This office needs to book less appointments per day if they’re not able to stay on time. Be prepared to wait! Doctor was super sweet and apologized for the wait. Explained there was an emergency earlier and they haven’t been able to get back on time with appointments.

Dr Makower himself is very kind. Whomever the older woman working the phone today at the Linden Blvd office is was extremely rude. I went to this office 2 weeks ago and they prescribed me an MRI. They failed to submit pre-authorization to my insurance and because of this I have been waiting for 2 weeks to schedule my MRI. I can’t apply for short-term disability or get any reasonable accommodations at my job without the MRI results. I emailed dr. makower and he said he would get this to his team. They never sent it. Today I called and spoke to someone who said he would help me with this matter and get back to me. It’s now 3:40 pm and I didn’t receive any correspondence so I decided to call back and request an update. The woman on the phone kept denying this without asking for any informatio

Love the Doctor she has such a loving care. It’s rare to find. Dr that loves and cares about their patients. Looking forward to my next visit.
