The only negative was the long wait time. My husband wanted to leave several times, but I persuaded him to stay. To be fair, he had a bad experience years ago with a doctor who hurt him, so he was afraid that it would hurt again. I can't count how many times he said, " I can't believe she didn't hurt me!" It was getting so tiring already. He was so pleased with Dr. McAloon. I'm glad we waited. I didn't rate 5 stars precisely because of the wait.

I would recommend confirming all charges and payment records before leaving the office so there are no surprises later.

On the…read moresixth year anniversary of his death I just wanted to warn others that after a year or two of caring for him at the UCSF Limb Preservation Clinic, this doctor directed him to go to Eden hospital for wound treatment on a Friday. He was supposed to attend to him but never showed up. He got a sepsis infection and two days passed away. The office didn't even know when I requested his records. Looking back, I realized how blatantly obvious substandard his quality of care was but once an infection becomes septic it is very hard to prove. This doctor is not the "holy god" that some make him out to be.

Dr. Alexander Reyzelman saved my feet from unnecessary surgery…read more Over 10 years ago, I had severe pain in both feet. I went to 2-3 podiatrists and they all recommended surgery and did not offer any other option. Something didn't feel right. Years before this, I had been warned by a close relative that is a highly respected doctor to always be wary of any doctor that pushes you into surgery without also offering other options. He said the financial incentive to encourage surgery is too great of a temptation for some doctors. He also recommended that I find a doctor that is very active in his field, is a prolific writer for medical publications, and is often a guest speaker for medical events focused on new developments in the field. I could not move forward on the surgeries without doing my due diligence and find one more doctor that came as close to meeting the above mentioned recommended requirements. I did some digging and Dr. Reyzelman was the best match I could find in the area. If he also suggested surgery with his wealth of experience of new advancement in podiatry, I would give in and book the surgeries. His office staff were very nice and he has a very pleasant demeanor. He looked over my feet, he looked at the scans, and put some equipment on my legs and had me walk so the equipment would record what the issue might be. After reviewing the recording of my walking, he said the issues were due to a structural problem. Getting custom made inserts that would correct the issues was an option that would provide me relief. I decided to give the custom made insert a try and boy was he was right. After using them, my feet felt terrific. I did tell end up telling Dr Reyzelman of my experience and he seemed surprised that surgery had been pushed on me so hard without remarking on other options. Although, I was relieved to find Dr Reyzelman, I was extremely disappointed that the other podiatrists I went to did not go over the issue with the way I walked! Even if I had gone through the surgeries with any of the prior doctors, without question the same issues would come back! To potentially put a patient through this, in unconscionable. Over 10 years later, my feet our doing great. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Reyzelman for being honest and forthright about my options. The field needs more doctors like him. He gets my highest, highest recommendation.

The entire team there is so friendly and committed to their work - you can clearly see it in their great attitudes. Kevin was my primary Physio and Julio and Kevin aided him very nicely. I also had a few sessions with France - and she's super! France has a knack to uncover root causes and how to overcome them. Kevin and France set me up with a a good set of exercises and routines that got my achy shoulder back into shape. The surgeon who recommended PT for me was amazed at the rapid improvement in just a couple of months of PT and told me that I no longer needed the surgery that would otherwise be needed. So a huge THANKS to France, the Kevins, Julio and a couple others whose names I didnt catch. Maria from the front desk made making appointments so easy - including via text - and did a great job of reminding me of upcoming sessions. Highly recommend this team for any physio needs!
