Palm Beach Foot & Ankle

I was not told to be prepared to wait at least an hour for my doctor’s appointment, which was frustrating enough. On my first visit, the doctor bent my foot as hard as he could, despite me explaining the pain and pressure I was feeling in my Achilles. The next day, it felt as though I had re-injured it. He had advised me to stay off it after pushing my foot to the limit. During my second visit, the focus was on MRI results. I had paid for the MRI and viewed the images immediately after the procedure, yet they couldn’t provide me with any details or a proper review.

Dr. Alan Hartstein and his staff are absolutely amazing. I came in for an ingrown toenail on my left foot that has been bothering me for quite some time. It’s caused me not to be able to wear sneakers to be able to go to the gym, it’s caused me not to wear my favorite shoes, It’s caused me not to enjoy a lot of activities because it’s so painful. Dr. Hartstein and his assistant Sarah made me feel so comfortable during the process of my ingrown toenail removal. They both are professionals and know what they’re doing! I highly recommend Dr. Hartstein to anyone who is having problems with an ingrown toenail he can fix it! It’s not painful at all, even after the anesthesia wears off. He gives clear after care instructions for you to have the best end result. Thank you Dr. Hartsein and Sarah! Y

After a closer look, however, it became clear that the information is framed in a way that could easily mislead patients who are specifically seeking fellowship-trained foot and ankle surgical care. There is a big difference between being a podiatrist and being a dedicated foot and ankle surgeon with advanced surgical training, and that distinction isn’t clearly communicated here. For patients making important medical decisions—especially surgical ones—clarity and transparency matter. If you’re a patient reading this, I’d strongly recommend asking very specific questions about training, su
