Dr. Zane was such a breath of fresh air. He was so thoughtful, present and seeing him felt like dealing with a real human being. He deserves 5 stars, or more, if that were allowed. Will definitely keep coming back to him! read more

YUP im coping, pasting and fixing my errors from google review - this doctor and his staff deserve another 5 star review, so here goes Dr. Robert Zane is an exceptional doctor not only does he have excellent beside manner he goes out of his way to speak our native language - Spanish - to my mother even those she understands English - he is very patient, and has such a soothing demeanor - he communicated clearly and softly throughout the minor procedure he performed on my mother. Staff is great as well calling immediately after making appointment to let me know of a deductible. The office is spacious - it can use a remodel or touch up but that definitely WILL NOT deter me from coming back - I will continue my care with Dr. Zane! read more

I called Doctor Zane's office on a Friday afternoon hoping he could fit me in on Saturday morning and they did! The front desk associate was kind and a clear communicator. Made things very easy. Dr Zane was warm, welcoming and effective. He explained my situation and my options. I really appreciate him and the pain relief. Would recommend! I strive to keep my business local and with small businesses, so I am thrilled to recommend this office. read more

Dr Zane is a wonderful and warm human being. He resolved an issue that had been plaguing me for some time in a single visit. Kind of like the old school type of doctor you almost never find anymore. He might want to spruce up his office ... or not. A rare positive experience with the medical profession read more

Dr Zane is very kind and patient. He takes his time, explains things well and is exceptionally friendly. He put me at ease, his service was affordable and thorough and he got my toe all fixed up. Will definitely be back. read more

I feel very fortunate to have Dr Zane as my podiatrist and I do mean that in a professional manner which is why I didn't just say foot doctor. Dr Zane is very knowledgeable in his profession and he takes time to explain your foot problems and share his expertise with you. He makes you feel very comfortable and has a wonderful bedside manner. If he feels you need any outside of his practice assistance he doesn't hesitate to refer you. I have seen other foot doctors but during the twenty years or so he is my go to podiatrist. I highly recommend Dr Zane and just to mention he has a generous sense of humor that makes you feel just like family. GOD BLESS HIM. read more

Dr. Zane is the best of the best. Wonderful man, extremely knowledgeable. I came in with an awful situation and he saved my toe. I am forever grateful... he is the BEST!!!! read more

Dr. Zane is a Champ! He has a wonderful caring personality. I highly recommend him. Oh yes and the lady who works with him, I think her name was Lou is so pleasant and welcoming. Thank you guys for making my experience a great one! read more

The manners and customer service is a complete joke. I called to find out if booking an appointment was advisable and the office admin who answered made me feel worse and more stressed, me on hold multiple times, and in the end was the opposite of helpful. A complete joke in customer service and patient care. read more

Dr. Zane is a very knowledgeable and witty guy. He has a great bed side manner! His staff is very professional and accommodating. I highly recommend! Don't listen to these Karens! I'm sure nothing you can do will ever please them. read more

Dr Zane saw me for a same day appointment. Am super busy & had been putting off a foot pain that I kindof thought was an embedded something, until I absolutely could not take it one more minute. Yelped local podiatrists and landed in Dr Zane's office. Super nice and knowledgeable, I feel so much better and got good advice. Had a vibe of small town doctor an urban setting, have no doubt he cares genuinely about people and his work. Would definitely recommend. read more

Fantastic service and very funny guy! I would definitely recommend him to my friends and f

Highly recommend this place! Doctor was amazing ! Shared his knowledge about my issue and walked me through the entire procedure. Absolutely amazing friendly and professional. Front desk lady was amazing!! Polite friendly and kind. Thank you again!! read more

A true hidden gem of Brooklyn. This doctor is very skillful, highly experienced (30 years) and very generous with his compassionate and positive energy. Very good people-skills. Front desk is also very helpful and efficient - in person and over the phone. Sometimes, the best docs are the ones that aren't part of the luxury clinic/hospital with mint amenities/facilities but their true value is really their genuine interest of serving and curing their patients effectively. This is one of that case. He will be my go-to podiatrist for my whole family from now on. Thumbs up. Don't believe the negative reviews. read more

All I can say is OMG. I'm not a fanatic on Yelp as I believe you either have a shitty experience and give a horrible review or you simply loved it and you give it 5 stars. I found Dr. Zane by reading the comments on yelp. My mom is 90 years old and although she has Dementia, she vividly remembers her shitty experience with a neighborhood podiatrist who accidentally cut her. I left a message after hours asking about insurance coverage and an appointment for my mom. To my surprise my call was returned the very next morning with an appointment for 10:30. Although I got there quite early, the receptionist/assistant whom I wished I would have asked for her name greeted me and mom took our information and get this........not even 10 minutes later took us into Dr. Zanes office. This man is amazing! While he worked on moms feet we spoke about animal cruelty, the chicken place on Moore street, monkey brains and neighborhood doctors who have since left. He was so amazing that once he was done with mom I asked if he took my insurance which is Cigna. If this hasn't grasped your attention keep reading.... once he said yes I quickly jumped in that chair right behind my mom, who although will forget her awesome experience by tonight, right now believes he is the God of all feet! Dr. Zane took care of my feet as gentle as he did moms. I was sitting there wondering why I paid for a pedicure the day before when he did a better job (minus the nail painting). Hey, like I said, I'm not into Yelp and reviews but I found him and tried him because of all the good stuff I read. And now here I sit at the IHOP with my 90 year old mom raving on how good our feet feel! He and his assistant are the kindest most incredible people I have ever encountered in the medical field. You MUST try him if you are looking for a podiatrist. He is my new BFF and I will continue to see him for both me and mom! A very satisfied patient Diane :) read more

Robert Zane, DPM - Happy Feet - Podiatrists Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Dr Zane is the best! I've had recurring toenail problems for years and had a bad experience with my previous podiatrist. Dr. Zane is very knowledgeable and experienced, he took care of the problem right away. He's very personable and down to earth and his office staff are extremely kind and professional. Great experience all around! read more

Had an excellent experience from start to finish with Dr. Zane. Friendly man, calm and really takes his time. Explains every step of the process and will answer all questions thoroughly. He saw my 12 yr old daughter for an infection and explained all possibilities and offered his recommendation on what to do. Guided us on even which shoes to buy because she is a runner. The procedure was smooth and handled well. Very kind man. He even offered to walk us to the pharmacy next door to make sure the dosage was right. Was so relieved to find him and extra points for being open on a Saturday! read more

One of the nicest receptionists I've ever encountered. I had a 10am appointment with Dr. Zane at 1030 the receptionist apologized for the wait and asked me if I needed anything. Most medical offices wouldn't have cared less. Dr. Zane has great bedside manner and explained everything to me, what I was doing wrong, and how to prevent further damage to my feet. He is very professional and treats his patients with respect. read more

Dr. Zane was great. I'm usually scared of visiting the doctor but he made the experience pleasant. Very professional and caring!

Dr. Zane, podiatrist, is a champ. I'm not going to go into detail about what was wrong with my feet. You should just picture two amazingly sexy feet, size 10.5, with all 10 toes. I won't share the things the good doctor did to make them even more astoundingly glamorous - hard to believe considering they're practically foot model-grade shape. I will say it was affordable at $65 for the visit (the uninsured like me and those paying out of pocket take note), accessible (it's just a walk-in clinic with bank-like hours), and the interaction from the folks at the front desk to the waiting room (I think everybody on staff is bilingual Spanish/English) was pleasant. What made my first experience truly awesome was the good doctor playing drum solos on YouTube during my little minor surgery. After he found out I was a drummer, Dr. Zane immediately found a live version of Edgar Winter's Frankenstein he thought I had to see. Whatever blinding pain I should have been feeling vanished. Perhaps that was just the local anesthetic. The office itself, shared with another primary care physician with whom I've also had good experiences, is somewhat less modernized than the other walk-in facilities in the surrounding areas, like Greenpoint's Manhattan Medical (at $120 a visit) or the Duane Reades (at $220 and up per visit). There's less hand-holding and fewer lollipops to make your boo-boos go bye-bye. This and the moderate interior decorating let's the office pass the savings on to you! That rate for a visit matters a lot when costs of medical care prohibit people from getting care. This part of Williamsburg isn't filled with condos. It doesn't have the artisinal mayonaise shops - at least not yet. This is still old-school Williamsburg, East Willy B. Dr. Zane's office lets folks from the old neighborhood actually afford care. I think young people moving to the neighborhood, the ones in that gap between coverage by their parents' insurance and finding a job that supplies it, ought to know about this too. read more

Terrific doctor! Friendly, fun, fast, and effective. Helped me with a vexing foot issue which was cured within a month. Highly recommend.

Awesome! I couldn't recommend Dr. Zane highly enough! Firstly, I was really happy that I got a Saturday appointment having called to schedule only two days before. When I arrived I filled in all of my new patient paperwork and I didn't even get a chance to sit down before they were ready for me. The receptionist was super friendly and happy to answer any questions I had. The decor is definitely 'no frills' but, echoing the sentiments of Nate B, I'm happy to forgo swank surroundings for the money saved. Without insurance I paid $60 for my consultation and their consultation costs include any injections you may need (I had two cortisone shots). I didn't need x-rays but Dr. Zane said they charge $40 if necessary and they charge $250 for orthotics. The price for orthotics has remained the same for the 20 years that they've been there! Dr. Zane himself was amazing. He is really kind, caring and attentive. Even though he had more patients waiting for him he took the time to explain everything and answer all of my questions. I had previously been to a podiatrist a few blocks away and had felt completely rushed by the doctor and the staff so it was a breath of fresh air to feel relaxed, at ease and like I was being listened to. At the other clinic I also got the feeling that I was trying to be sold additional services and products that I didn't need but Dr. Zane was the complete opposite. He was aware that I didn't have insurance so was intent on keeping costs at a minimum for me. I'm all fixed now but I look forward to the time I need to see Dr. Zane again! read more

If I could give Dr. Zane and his team 10 stars I would! I went to see Dr. Zane last week with problems with my ankle and toe. The first point of contact is his amazing receptionist Carmen. She is so incredibly helpful and polite which added to the whole pleasant experience. Dr. Zane himself spent about 30 minutes with me trying to fully understand my pain and the best ways to treat me. It's the first time I've ever been to the doctor and not felt rushed or like just another number. I'm not exaggerating when I say it has been the best experience I've ever had at a doctors office. Dr. Zane is so generous with his time and knowledge and has seriously helped me manage my pain. The next day Dr. Zane called me personally to check up and see how I was doing. Since my appointment I've had to phone the office to ask some questions I had about my medication and again both Carmen and Dr. Zane spent valuable time with me on the phone making sure I was listened to and got the answers I needed. If you're looking for the best doctor you can find look no further. Dr. Zane and his team are the best I've been to and will without a doubt be making it my primary care office from now on. Thank you so much Dr. Zane and Carmen!! - Nathan :) read more

Dr. Zane, podiatrist, the best! I went as a first time patient...and was seen right away! The staff is very nice and friendly! Dr . Zane took his time explaining my injury thoroughly. ..he's very professional and friendly. ..look no further I really recommend him! read more

Had an excellent experience at Dr Zane's office. The ladies at the front desk were friendly and warm. Dr Zane was also lovely. He took his time examining my feet and explained why I would be experiencing foot pain and didn't try to upsell expensive ad-ons. Very friendly and affordable. My consultation was only $100 and $40 for some excellent orthotics. I would highly recommend this doctor. read more

Dr. Zane is very pleasant and mild mannered. I didn't feel rushed out, he took the time to answer my questions and was very knowledgeable about my foot issue. I highly recommend Dr. Zane! read more

I was experiencing terrible pain in my foot, and saw another podiatrist about a week before Dr. Zane. The previous one didn't believe me and treated me incorrectly, making the symptoms worse. When I went in to see Dr. Zane however, he not only believed me but diagnosed me within seconds and was able to treat me! It turns out I had a Neuroma and all it required was some cortisone injections over the course of a few weeks. He's also super friendly and kind and makes you feel comfortable even when injecting your foot! Impressive. read more

Got an appointment same-day as I called, on a Saturday. Didn't have too long of a wait either. Apparently they take walk-ins too but it's better to make an appointment. Dr. Zane is a nice and funny guy. I found out what had been bothering me for so long (not at all what I thought it was!) and he treated it, very gently, and told me what I should do to maintain it. Going here is an easy, no-pressure way to see a nice podiatrist. If you're trying to get alcohol injections for neuromas though, he doesn't do that. read more

Super nice doc - kind, professional and reassuring! Within one visit my issue was resolved and I walked out of the office relieved. The receptionist is lovely and fit me in right away. Will definitely return for any podiatric needs! read more

Top notch doctor. I wish every medical professional cared as much as Dr. Zane. Squeezed me in last minute. Can't recommend enough!

I'm so glad I found Dr. Zane! He actually answered his own phone when I called and was able to see me the same day for an ingrown toenail. A very professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly, caring doctor. I very highly recommend Dr. Zane! read more

Dr. Zane is great. He took care of my Grand Mother for nearly 20 years. I went to him when I was very young and he's always been great. He's funny and keeps you calm and relaxed. Very professional. read more

Doctor Robert was very unprofessional and rude. I will never go back again. Pick different doctor

Dr Zane is great. He's friendly, funny, and most importantly an honest and helpful doctor. He called me back first thing in the morning after I had left a voice message for him the night before. I went into his office the same day where he diagnosed, treated, and prescribed further treatments for my condition. It was a very relaxed experience. It's obvious that he truly cares about people and takes his duties as a doctor seriously. I'm glad I went to see him and I would definitely recommend him. read more

He gave me a cortisone shot which made it bearable to walk and with some explanation proper arches and sneakers has gone down significantly now read more

I Highly recommend Dr. Zane. This is my second time going to Dr. Zane. He is very knowledgeable and has an excellent bedside manner. I read this review that Donna C gave and it has totally false information. A cardboard box ?!! That was hilarious. Oh and he does have a autoclave that sterilizes equipment. I didn't notice anything like she described the 2 times I have gone to Dr. Zane. That lady must have a bitter life. But then again she gave everyone she reviewed one star. I hope you read my review. Dr. Zane your awesome! read more

I found Dr. Zane because of these yelp reviews and so I have to pay it back. Everyone in that office (love you, Lucy!) is kind and patient. I was stressed about the needles and procedure and they literally held my hand, told me jokes, and fed me popcorn. The procedure was actually quite painless and the doc was a master at the injections for novocaine and I literally felt nothing which is a big difference from past experiences with other doctors. Additionally, this was my third doctor to deal with this issue and he was the only one able to properly handle everything. The doctor himself even called the next day to check on me. If only every medical experience were like this one... read more

Dr.Robert. Zane is the best podiatrist I ever came across. He is very friendly, very professional and makes you feel extemely comfortable . He takes his time, ask questions, listens to all your concerns and makes sure you're leaving his office happy and content with his service. I took my 80 year old mom and while Dr Zane is working on her extemely bad feet she told him that he was very light handed and that it didn't bother her feet. Waiting time the first time was 10 minutes and the second visit the Dr took her in right away with no wait time. Dr. Zane is one in a million doctors that genuinely cares about his patients. Did I mention that he was funny too. Almost forgot to add that his staff is very friendly and professional as well. She also helps you with any concerns you may have and does her best to solve it. read more

Dr. Zane is a pleasant man, but his facility is completely lacking in basic hygiene. The room looked unclean, and furniture broken. There was no foot bath to clean feet, or at least he did not bring one out. He pulled the instruments he used out of a cardboard box; they were not enclosed in plastic or any wrapping, and while working on my foot simply dropped them back in the same box. There was no obvious place to sterilize anything. The doctor cut my toenails but didn't soften the edges. I am diabetic and fortunately did not have any cuts at the time of my appointment because, if I had, I would have been seriously worried about infection. Honestly I have never been to a worse podiatrist office, here in the U.S. or in my home country of Uruguay. read more

Christyn B yelp should be taken out! If someone doesn't take my insurance it is not discriminatory or illegal. This lady obviously has some serious issues. The profanity not necessary. I've been seeing Dr. Zane for years his staff is courteous and he is a very kind and his prices are very reasonable. He is one of the most knowledgeable doctors I have met. I come all the way from Manhattan and if he doesn't participate in my insurance I would pay out of pocket and most of all I would still feel the same. read more
