I had the best experience here yesterday. The office staff, medical assistant, and Dr. Siegel treated me like royalty. The office even had the cutest service dog that helped ease my fear of getting my toenail removed. I had a previous traumatic experience with another podiatrist so needless to say, when I came into the office, I was already panicking. Dr. Siegel and her MA were so kind and compassionate and made sure to make me feel comfortable before starting the procedure. The procedure went so well and not as bad as I thought it would go. I live in the Bronx and work in LI until the next two weeks. This place is so great that even after my resignation I will be continuing my podiatry follow up here. I highly recommend Dr. Siegel for all your podiatry issues. read more

Dr. Siegel is a special kind of doctor. She is very knowledgeable and thorough with explaining the problem. I would highly recommend her.

My last appointment with Dr. Siegel was very disappointing. She was yelling at her secretary (who had always been so sweet) about over booking her. I was sitting right there in the waiting room as she went on a rant...Than came in and barely said two words to me. I will never go back to someone who speaks to their employees like that. read more

I had a great experience at Dr. Siegel's! She spent a lot of time with me, giving me a thorough exam and educating me on what my toenail fungus meant and how to treat it. Her warm demeanor and thoroughness made me feel very comfortable and made me feel I could trust her within the first appointment. Even though I had previously visited two other podiatrists who both told me the fungus was untreatable and insignificant, Dr. Siegel prescribed me a topical medication which totally cured my fungus. She also offered me alternative treatments if the topical one didn't work. On top of that, her staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and efficient. They squeezed me in at the last minute and the doctor still took me in right when I got there. read more

I went to Dr. Siegel for toenail fungus on one of my toenails. It wasn't a bad case at all, really just an aesthetic problem but I still wanted to have a doctor look at it. My experience there was wonderful; Dr. Siegel was very attentive and thorough. She even shaved down some calluses on my feet. I thought, wow, she is great! I was wondering, however, why I had x-rays done, which had nothing to do with nail fungus, however I didn't ask at the time. (Which I should have.) Even though my case was very slight, she recommended laser treatment for it, if the topical treatment didn't work. Laser treatment would cost me, I believe $500-600. At the time, I didn't know my case was hardly anything; I only found that out when I got a second opinion from another podiatrist. So, I contemplated getting it done. Well, all of that came to a halt when I received my bill! She charged my insurance company over $800, which left me a bill of $114!!!! JUST FOR LOOKING AT TOENAIL FUNGUS!!!! It turns out that she charged $200 for the new patient consultation, about $150 each for 2 x-rays of my foot and 2 x-rays of my ankle. (Again, NOT NECESSARY AT ALL!) Then $55 for nail debridement, (Removal of unwanted tissue around the toenail.) $88 for the calluses, and then a whopping $170 to biopsy the nail with the fungus! (Again, not nescessary.) She did not mention once through all of this "special treatment" that she would be charging me for it. She did say that she was going to biopsy the nail but I had no idea it would be so costly, and again, at the time, I did not know that my case was nothing major. I was appalled when I got the bill. How dare she? I called to complain and the receptionist there said they would deduct the money I owed for the x-rays, proving that the doctor knew it was ridiculous. But why should she care? She already received the bulk of the money from my insurance company. When I went to get a second opinion at the other podiatrist, (who was wonderful, by the way) all I had to pay was a $15 copay. When I told her about my experience with Dr. Siegel, she told me she had other patients that came from her with similar complaints. BEWARE! If you do not have the extra money to spend, DO NOT go to Dr. Siegel! She is a swindler read more
