dr talarico is amazing! he helped me through a broken ankle from a trampoline accident! his office was quick to book appointments for me, was supportive the entire time and he made surgery and the whole experience feel positive even though it was one of the hardest experiences ive gone through! thank you again dr talarico :) highly recommend read more

Dr Talarico tended to my child's sports injury, an ankle ligament tear and micro fractures, with alot of care by quickly stabilizing the injury in a cast and advised in a clear and respectful manner for the following weeks. She is turning out to heal a bit faster than usual. Dr Talarico explained everything in office and with the Radiologists medical explanations for greatest clarity. I was thankful to have him on the case and would highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of an Orthopedist. He works in multiple areas around the Bay Area so you're bound to be near one of his office. read more

Dr. Ross Talarico who does ankles and foot is the rudest most condescending doctor i have ever experienced. Speaking to me as if i'm an idiot. Saying "i don't know how many ways to tell you this, its obvious....." Excuse me?! If you're that irritable, get out of the field, Jesus! Rushes through your appt also. DOES NOT CARE ABOUT HIS PATIENTS! Respect me as I've respected you. It is because of patients that you are employed. Get over yourself! Condescending and nasty attitude. Thoroughly disgusted. read more

Worst doctor I've ever seen. Why? 1. Mis-diagnosed me with stress fractures in my foot. I even said I don't see it on the x-ray, and he jabbed his finger on it, saying right there, as if it were terribly obvious. MRI then showed no fracture. 2. Practice did not take my health history and information about the pain. Maybe it's because I had been to this practice before, but that was for a different issue at a different time. 3. Doctor said I was "being stupid" for not using crutches (note that he had not told me to use crutches). 4. Asked hardly any questions, didn't listen, didn't seem interested in figuring out what was going on with my feet. 5. Told me I must have severe osteoporosis and to get a wheelchair because I was likely to fall and break a hip or worse. (Later bone density test showed perfectly normal.) He made me so scared to move. He put both my feet in "boots" and I was bedridden for weeks. That took forever to recover from. 6. I mentioned a medical issue during a follow-up appointment, and he exclaimed that I should have told him before! My jaw dropped and I was speechless -- not only had I told him, I had handed him a paper that said so in black-and-white! 7. After I was being treated for extreme pain in one foot, I called his office when the other foot started having extreme pain and left a message for him with his assistant. According to his assistant, he said it was "probably the same thing". I asked what to do, and there was no interest in seeing me, evaluating it, or having me tested. Basically I was told not to walk. 8. When the MRI revealed his misdiagnosis, he said he couldn't help me and rattled off a list of scary-sounding specialists I should see for a list of debilitating conditions I might have. I didn't have any of them. I ended up seeing a different podiatrist who listened and asked questions, correctly diagnosed (and tested to be sure), treated, and now I'm better. This doctor not only didn't help me, he made me worse physically through misdiagnosis. And even worse than that, he made me afraid and think that I'd be disabled for the second half of my life. read more

I had a freak accident where time was of the essence Dr. Talarico's candor knowledge And expertise is blended together perfectly? He might be. Kurt with you because he's a very busy man and he's helped thousands. He doesn't have time physical time to explain every little nuance that most people don't understand I looked at him right away and could see not only was he confident he was connected. He's just a professional and most people can't see outside of what they want when you have a professional like that working for you, you have to respect it. I sure did. It took all of 60 seconds to know he was my man in Amsterdam so to speak. He and his team were able to diagnose my problem. Give me a prognosis and then off to surgery within 2 days. The man literally saved my life I'm a 54-Year-Old single father with two young kids. He understood how important it is for me to get back to work and take care of my children he made me feel cared for Yolanda went up and beyond what she had to do to make this happen as well. So for all you critics Out there who have nothing to do but complain about a man who has helped thousands think again before you criticize this man has fought in the arena for years while you sit in the stands and do nothing and criticize realize that it's the flesh and everything can't be fixed. I guarantee this man does his best every single time. Sincerely, Gary reposa read more

Waited over an hour to be seen for less than 8 minutes, talked rushed and condescending. Their computers were down, clearly didn't remember me or anything about me. Mentioned " given my history of ankle injuries I should know to do x" I've never had an ankle injury before, never needed a brace or physical therapy. Left wanting to cry. Felt rushed and like he didn't want to be there. Also found away to bring up that I'm on a pain management plan with another doctor even though I never asked for meds. Demoralized. Do not recommend Ross Talarico. I would have been better off just not winging it. Oh and the assistant fitting my brace Told me I have " surprisingly large ankles" and not in a good way. read more

This is an update since my initial review of Dr Ross! Finally, after a month since my achilles rupture/surgery, Dr Ross removed my cast! I can see now the incision is less than 1in long and completely healed! Also, no swelling! Basically, he used the same minimum invasive technique as what's being performed on Aaron Rodgers, and the results are nothing less than amazing! Only a few days after the cast removal I can already stand without crutches/help (although I was being advised to be extremely careful). I also want to give shout outs to Veronica! While all the people at the Oakland office were very nice throughout the whole process, I need to single out Veronica, who patiently (and always with a big smile!) changed my cast multiple times. It was just unbearable for me to have the same cast for so long, but all I had to do is show up at the office, even without an appointment, and she would always help me! Thank you! The pictures are before, after the cast removal, and the incision which is a little bit less than 1in in length. read more

Dr. Talarico is an outstanding surgeon. I broke my ankle skiing last winter, and Dr. Talarico fixed me up as good as new. I was back on my feet without a boot in 6 weeks, and I can't wait to get back to the slopes later this winter! Through the whole process He kept me informed of what was about to happen every step of the way and made me feel comfortable and confident in him and his staff. I don't plan on breaking any more bones, but when I do, I'm definitely giving Dr. Talarico a call read more

Ross H. Talarico, DPM - 3.8 mm fracture. Bionic now. - Orthopedists Near Me - Oakland, California

Do NOT waste your time with Dr. Talarico. Dr. Talarico not only misdiagnosed my toe pain, which I learned was a not a result of being fractured but rather was caused by a bunion, he prescribed a boot to immobilize my toe, followed by two additional visits and X-rays. It wasn't until I saw an MD/podiatrist/food surgeon for a second opinion, I learned that nothing that Dr. Talarcio said was accurate and with that neither was his prognosis (PT and slow healing). As a result, six weeks were not only wasted, a fractured shoulder resulted because of a fall in the boot (which was not needed). Stay away from this person. read more

I was involved in a work accident and crushed my foot awhile back and fell under the care of workcomp. As difficult as it is to manage a care plan when being involved with workcomp Dr. Talarico and his team fought back and forth for me to get the care I needed to get back on my feet. Not only was he a FANTASTIC doctor and surgeon, He was ultimately the best advocate for me when it felt like no one else was on my side. If you deal with any foot injury, he is hands down the best choice! read more

In short: Mansplainer with a fragile ego. Ladies especially, find a different doctor. In my first visit, Dr. Talarico seemed not to listen much to what I had to say about my symptoms and, in fact, didn't really let me get much of a word in edge-wise. He gave me some handouts with possible explanations for my foot pain and, when handing them to me, said, "I know this is a lot of information, and it's probably not very interesting to you." Just wow. As it turns out, I'm an MD but hadn't told him that yet, so lol. I returned a week later because the boot he'd given me for my foot actually made my pain worse. He did not believe me and again just kind of kept talking over me and not listening to what I had to say. I wasn't upset at him about the boot making me worse, but he seemed to take it as an attack, got very defensive, and blamed me for my worsening pain. He said I should get a second opinion from another doctor because I had a lot of "theories" about what's going on and he couldn't help me. At that point I did tell him that I'm an MD and he was mansplaining, and then he stormed out of the room. What a dude. This personality type is not uncommon in the world of orthopedic surgeons, but this guy takes the cake! Probably no coincidence that his positive reviews are primarily from men, and his negative reviews are primarily from women. As a doctor, I recommend going to UCSF for any serious medical needs. You have a world-class healthcare organization on your doorstep. Use it. (Disclosure: I don't work there, nor do I practice medicine any more, but I did get my MD at UCSF.) read more

I went to this practice with 2 fractures: wrist and foot. The wrist surgeon Dr Pitcher was excellent although he neglected to tell me l needed a third follow up visit. I discovered this by looking up other online orthopedic surgeons. But l am writing to mention Dr Ross Talarico and the general practice. I fractured my foot the same day l fractured my wrist, yet no one mentioned foot treatment and l didn't see Dr Talarico until 5 and a half weeks after my fall. I was then X-rayed and put in a CAM boot. I returned to see him a few weeks later. The waiting room was jammed. I waited almost 3 hours to receive an X-ray and see the Dr Talarico. (The X-ray techs were eating their lunch while 4 of us waited just outside the X-ray room.) Finally saw Dr Talarico examined the X-ray, said it was the same and basically talked to me for 5 minutes. But stuck to his original opinion that 3.66 mm was too large a fracture and surgery was probably imminent. I asked him if l had been put in a boot immediately after the fracture and received medical advice, if the fracture would be smaller and surgery unnecessary. His answer was at best unclear and he looked abashed. Finally the office staff was unhelpful and disorganized except for one woman, a receptionist who did the work of ten. The others just sat Behind their computers while she registered patients and made time to talk to the people who had been waiting forever and apologize. I will finish my treatment with Dr Pitcher, although l dread the office, but I will not see Dr Talarico again. read more

Let me start by saying, Dr. Talarico is top-of-the-line. I am thoroughly impressed with his care and haven't had a better medical experience in a long time. I suffered a Lisfranc fracture in my left foot from a fall. When came in, Dr. Talarico cut to the chase and took the time to talk me through not only the nature of the injury, but the procedure to fix it and the recovery process, a quality which is increasingly difficult to find in medical professionals. Dr. Talarico gets to the point, which is what I like about him, so people who need special attention and are sensitive like Stacey B. (Who left a very rude review), shouldn't come see this doctor, and should consider a pediatrician, as it sounds like she would like to be treated as a child. read more

In February I fractured 2 metatarsals. My foot hurt, but I could tolerate it, so I thought it was more likely a sprain and treated it as such. At the end of February I went on a week long backpacking trip. Over the week my pain and swelling increased and I saw my doctor the day after my return. Did my activity make my situation worse? Of course. Do I need a doctor who simply wants to blame me for my condition? Of course not! Dr. Talarico had no interest in me as a patient. I believe he looked at me and saw a 68 year old woman whose life would not be greatly impacted by this injury, anyway. He asked me no questions about my health history, my activities, my hope for treatment. When I attempted to talk to him, he cut me off. When I asked for a prognosis, he became defensive and said, "This isn't my fault". He then told me I should see a physician with more experience and he had one of the women in the office hand me a printout of another doctor's bio. I'm a retired RN, CRRN, Nsg. Manager. I'm not an MD, but I worked with many of them over my 30 year career. A physician that treats patients like this is in the wrong line of work. Medicine isn't simply tests, treatments and payments. The practice of Medicine is an art, and practitioners need to remember that their focus is supposed to be the PATIENT. Dr. Talarico either never learned this or has forgotten it along his way. read more

I fully ruptured my Achilles 8/23 and I had no clue what all went into dealing with a ruptured Achilles. Somehow and luckily I hobbled, (pun intended lol) across Dr. Talarico. He explained all that I was going through and all that I was about to go through with this type of injury. He showed the upmost care leading up to my surgery and during my recovery. My surgery seemed like a walk in the park and the scar was minimal. My appointments during recovery were scheduled with ease at Golden State Orthopedic. Dr. Talarico was reassuring that I was healing nicely and would explain the ultrasounds to me. All in all he made a life altering event seem not so hopeless. It is now 3/24 I have been doing PT and I am walking down stairs and taking long walks. It has not been a full year yet, but I feel good about Dr. Talaricos guidance and my progress this far. I'm getting my dancing shoes ready for the year mark of my surgery. Lol Thanks Doc!!! read more

I saw Dr. Talarico for foot and ankle pain. After a series of MRI testing, he recommended surgery to get me, literally, back on my feet. Dr. Talarico is a very knowledgeable and skilled physician and surgeon. The processes and procedures he recommended were right on point which, in the end, got my foot and ankle feeling like new. Dr. Talarico is a very kind and caring doctor who takes the time to talk about whatever is happening without being rushed. If you're looking for a podiatric surgeon, I highly recommend Dr. Ross Talarico. Helen Vallejo, CA read more

First let me say that I am a Dog trainer for aggressive dogs. protection dogs as well a horse person. We don't hurt but injuries are our life. The latest injury had me going in circles with mediocre Doctors (whom I do not respect to begin with as they just seem to hand out drugs and not higher levels of alternative care). But then I was in Dr. Ross Talarico's office. He KNEW exactly the injury and how to care for it. STRAIGHT up care. I do not need someone to hold my hand but I do need someone to pinpoint the issue and his exact words were "We will get you through this". That man helped me when I have been stressed for a full 4 weeks. Yup I will now listen. K9JS read more

Office Experience - Dublin is a more positive experience. Appointments keep moving and the wait is typically short. - Oakland - the sign said a 45 min wait. I waited for 2 hours despite my scheduled appointment - On one of my visits, the office cancelled my appointment the day prior to my visit due to his vacation schedule. I asked to see another provider within the Dublin clinic the staff and they said it was not part of the policy so had to wait another 2 weeks. If the situation were reversed I'm pretty sure I would have gotten charged a late fee. Care Quality - Strong experience and provides great detail. - Gave appropriate feedback and answered questions - Does not provide follow up notes via paper and I did not see things in the app. - Can come off as condescending and insincere. - Staff are smart and attentive but with the overbooking - you can tell they are stressed. Type of Care - Fractured my foot read more

1st time meet Dr Talarico few days ago for fractured foot, with worry about what life will be the next few months, he show true care about my issues, he's professional & friendly, after the initial consultation i was sent to x-ray for him to re-evaluate the most current conditions post ER visit, I was told that i can get away from cast but needed wear walking boots with none weight-bearing for 4 weeks...entire visit was smooth and cool, yes i sure recommend Dr. Talarico. 10/1 I saw Dr. Talarico in Dublin, he patiently explain my conditions, I received 3 Xray again and I again rate this office a 5 stars. read more

Please read Julie G's feedback below. She has perfectly captured the experience that I had today. Since Julie's feedback was last year, it is obvious that nothing has changed in the doctor's manner. I called Dr. Talarico's office with specific questions about a procedure for my ankle that was recommended by another doctor. I was given an appt. I have never had an experience with a doctor as I had today with Dr. Talarico. He was a pompous ass. He did not want to listen to what I had to say. He cut me off mid sentence. When I told him I had the same amount of pain as I did 5 weeks ago, he said, "I find that hard to believe." He told me that this procedure was only for surgical patients but no one had told me that when I asked questions and told them what was wrong when I made the appointment. He was condescending, impatient, and really liked to hear himself talk. I had no problem with hearing that this procedure was not right for me. It was the rude manner in which it was explained. Please do yourself a favor and consult with another medical group such as Muir Orthopedic. Since I was in pain and didn't want to drive to Walnut Creek (it's my right ankle), I chose a doctor who was closer to me in Dublin. What a mistake! I have had several surgeries and several non surgical consults with different doctors at Muir Ortho, and I have always been treated with respect. This was a complete waste of my time and money. read more

I needed surgery for a very badly broken leg. My encounter with Dr. Talarico left me feeling uncared for. I found him to be arrogant and unkind. He was impatient and condescending, judging me for not being treated for osteoporosis without knowing any details of my decision. I have an idea that perhaps he has a better relationship with men and younger women. I am used to being respectful of and respected by the doctors I consult. This was NOT the case here. His staff was lovely. Since I have had the surgery, I am so glad that I have had a kind and generous rapport with the surgeon from UCSF who was with me every step of the way. read more

I don't have good experience with doctor Talarico, at all. Actually I describe my second visit to him as one of the worse doctor's visits in my life. Yes I did express the inconvenience to ware a boot or strap helper, and I failed to ware those as I felt not at all that I need it. I was expecting any sort of explanation or discussion on that matter, but I just got his harsh response (with the most robot-like tone): 'patient against my treatment so ...' I was hurt by his arrogance and diminishing any personal opionion from a patient. I see no kindness (at least that I can feel) during all time of my two visits. My ankle situation was not severe when I first visited the office after three weeks of slow recoverary and my pain was at level 1 at most. I wanted to be rest assured and know what to do to go back to my normal like, e.g. hiking and workout etc. I regret to accept his treatment more and more since the very first moment I entered his encounter. It took me 20 minutes after I arrived home staying inside my car to try to calm down. I was hurt that much so I decided to come here to let people know my experience. I'd admit that the doctor has nothing far wrong from a professional's point of view. I was hurt by his unforggetable emotionless, dismissive attitude towards me. It made me feel that I have no right to express any different opionion from his, otherwise it's unforgivable mistake and that would be taken as an offence against the doctor's authority. Update: I recevied a phone call and accepted a genuine apology from the doctor. And I feel very sorry about the doctor's personal going-through behind the scene. And I also got kind advices and explanations in the phone call, which I really appreciated. However, it's hard for me to revise the review and score because after re-reading the sentences, I feel everything still so true that if I change it, it's a lie to myself. Sorry, Dr. read more

I saw Dr. Talarico because of healing of toes from a hammer toe surgery - that had not healed in wo years. He didn't even lift my foot to see my toes - just handed me a document telling me to get a special shoe and it would heal itself. Well it has been a month and this tennis show has done nothing. He was not personable and i felt not interested in me at all. Perhaps he gets a kick back from this shoe. read more

Avoid this doctor at all costs. He pays little to no attention during visits and the office is a nightmare of incompetence and total lack of communication. My first appointment took a solid 90 minutes of additional waiting to actually see the doctor. He repeatedly forgot in which foot I was experiencing symptoms and what the symptoms even were. After my second appointment, I was supposed to be referred to a neurologist to treat my chronic pain. After waiting for a week for the referral and nothing happening, I started calling the office. Nobody at the office answers phones, calls are outsourced to some 3rd party that knows nothing about what is actually happening. Calls are not returned. After a week of spending hours on the phone, achieving nothing, I've had to resort to starting over at square one with a new doctor. Altogether I've wasted weeks of my time and a lot of money to get nowhere. read more

I saw Dr. Talarico after tearing my ATFL for the 3rd time. I've had 2 previous surgeries to correct this tear along with other ligament tears. Dr. Talarico came in and was very professional yet detached. I don't need a warm and fuzzy doctor, but Dr. Talarico brushed off my tear as if it was just a normal sprain and it would heal. Because this has happened a few times before, I knew this was something that shouldn't just be brushed off as a sprain. I am an active individual and love working out, so I needed a doctor who would help me get down to the bottom of why this kept happening and what we could do to permanently fix this. I feel like Dr. Talarico is wonderful for first-time sprains but not for re-occurring tears and ankle injuries like mine. Granted, this is just my first impression/opinion & only saw him once but was not impresssd. He was also very off-putting over the phone when I called him a few days after my appt with a concern regarding major pain associated with my tear. Granted, he could have been busy but the bedside manner was not ideal for someone who was in pain. read more

If you have a podiatry issue that doesn't require surgery, do yourself a favor (honestly!) and in Dr. Tallarico's own words, don't "waste your time" consulting with him. It seems like folks with injuries that warrant surgery have a good experience with him, but his approach to our consultation was patronizing and I cannot recommend him. read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Talarico and his staff. I had fractured a toe which needed a pin in order to heal properly and also opted for corrective bunion surgery at the same time. A foot surgery and recovery is no joke and not easy and requires lots of patience but under the constant care of Dr. Talarico, I was in great hands. With explicit post op instructions, regular appointments to keep a close eye on my healing and now moving into physical therapy, I am beyond thrilled with the results and care along the way. Thank you Dr. Talarico for your skills and Tylia Nelson for all the support through a perfectly executed surgery and recovery. read more

Last March, my wife suffered a trimalleolar fracture in a roller skating accident. The emergency room doctor referred her to Webster Orthopedics and she was promptly placed under care of Dr. Talarico. Dr. T has been with her (and us) every step of the way and she's well on the road to full recovery. He's an expert, he's efficient and he's all business, which frankly, is what you want/need in a surgeon. I highly recommend him. Should you have any questions, feel free to send me a personal message. read more

Dr Talarico Rocks! He's right at that place in a Orthopedics career where he has decades of experience and still has fresh knowledge of what is the latest techniques and resources for addressing your situation. Dr Talarico gave me options that ten orthopedics might offer, he took the time to explain why each different approach to my problem may be a good choice,- Totally depending on my personal situation. He also offered up why another choice may be good for someone different than me. I felt informed, and in great hands. Highly recomend Dr Talarico for any lower extremity challenges. The staff were professional and delightful. I really got the sense that everyone at the Webster Orthopedic Medical group operated similar to Dr Talarico. They really want to see you on a journey to healing. - and best case, not see you again. I personally am very hard on my body and been doing activities all my 50 + years, I've seen a lot of healers and this group is looking out for you. read more

I pretty much broke everything I could in my right ankle when I fell rollerskating in February. The stars aligned for me when I randomly picked Dr. Talarico from my insurance website as my surgeon. I had three surgeries with Dr. Talarico -- yes, I pulverized my ankle! He is an excellent surgeon, very knowledgeable and transparent with me. It was a very complicated case...At every stage of the healing process, he explained clearly what was happening and what to expect. I'd highly recommend him. read more

Broke my 5th metatarsal. Dr. Talarico was Awesome. Straight and to the point. He made me feel comfortable with my decision with surgery, etc... I highly recommend him!!! read more

I've seen Dr. Talarico for two severe foot problems, and he treated me very well with both of them! I had a bad sprain and fractured left ankle, which he examined, advised against surgery, and fitted me with a snazzy boot. A few months later, I had a bone spur on the top of my right foot, for which he rightly recommended surgery and performed a flawless surgery. Now, about one year out, both of those problems are fully resolved. Thank you, Doc! read more

I just got back from my 9 week post fibula surgery appointment with Dr Talarico, and decided to leave him a Yelp review. It's my first ever time reviewing anything, so suffice to say I've had a wonderful experience with him as a surgeon and post-op doctor. He is skilled, and has a positive and encouraging attitude. It's a joy to chat with him at every visit. He's a no-nonsense guy, who quickly gets to the point, and gives one a realistic timeline of what to expect. He starts off with sharing your x-rays every time. Two thumbs up for Dr T (and for Webster Orthopedics as well!) I can walk without the boot now. Yay! read more

I had a small procedure needed done and was recommended Dr. Talarico from my primary doctor and my friends. Needless to say I was happy with the end results. Straight forward directions to keep if clean at home and follow up was easy to set up. Definitely would recommend. read more

This clinic I highly recommend here if you need anything. Amazing people and amazing service I will most definitely go to more appointments here. read more

So, after seeing several other orthopedic surgeons and being somewhat disappointed I followed my wife's advise and contacted Webster Orthopedics and Dr. Talarico. In a nutshell, the service was great, he explained my condition and all the possible treatment plans. He answered all my questions thoughtfully and thoroughly. He suggested some orthopedics which greatly improved my condition and I couldn't be more satisfied with his service. My search has ended and i'm very thankful for finding such a wonderful doctor. read more

I injured my foot playing tennis, and the MRI showed a complete tear of the anterior tibialis tendon. I have had good experiences with Muir Orthopedics/Golden State in the past, so they were my first call. They directed me to Dr. Ross Talarico, one of their foot specialists, and I was fortunate to get in to see him very quickly. His diagnosis and proposed surgical repair was straightforward. I had an immediate sense of confidence with Dr. Talarico during our initial consultation. His office confirmed the insurance coverage and was able to get my surgery scheduled in Fremont three days later. The surgery went as planned, without complications, and their follow up was excellent. I have seen him four times since, to evaluate progress, and those meetings are always informative and motivating. He is doing his best to keep me on a slower pace of activities while the tendon fully heals. Physical therapy is going well. I would go back to Dr. Talarico again and give him and his office staff a very high recommendation. read more

I have known Ross personally for many years, but recently have also gotten to know him professionally as a patient. After falling down some stairs and being diagnosed with an avulsion fracture of my ankle, I could not find an orthopedist with availability to see me for follow-up within the month that I was to be out of town. Thankfully, Ross agreed to review my films from a distance and diagnosed not just the one, but also an additional second fracture. In his consultations he has provided exceptional, thorough care: - Strict advice on avoiding any weight bearing (vs urgent care advising against the use of crutches) for a week. - As my swelling subsided, I reached out to Ross by text and he advised that I could start specific, light, range of motion stretches. - A week after that, we had another call to review how things were progressing and he advised me to stop use of my boot a couple of weeks earlier then urgent care had expected. - At my follow-up. an in person visit to Dr. Talarico's office, he reviewed my injury with the aid of a physical anatomical model so that I could better understand where the specific fractures occurred, what exercises were the most appropriate at this time and reinforced how long I should anticipate the ankle to continue to heal/when to expect it to feel back to normal. He also recommended physical therapy for a speedier recovery, which I am eager to begin. All of Dr. Talarico's guidance has allowed my injury to heal much sooner then anticipated with a reduced risk of permanent damage and a speedier return to regular exercise. In each of our interactions, Ross was careful, attentive, and inquisitive. He thoroughly advised, each step of the way, what to expect and what to look out for. Ross clearly has an expert grasp of his subject matter. I am exceptionally thankful for his care and would recommend him without hesitation. read more

I had an experience similar to Diane G- I have NEVER been treated so horribly by a Dr. as I did with Dr. Talarico. I was recommended to his office by a hospital when I was injured. He talked over me, he was condescending, he showed me x-rays of other patients' injuries to try and convince me to get surgery (even though they had completely different injuries than I did). He was very rushed and would cut me off and belittle me. I left feeling unheard and actually bullied on more than two occasions. When I finally had another office recommended to me it was a complete 180! they concluded that I did not need surgery, and in fact, his measurements on my injury were completely incorrect. I am sure there are far better Dr.'s at Webster Orthopedics than this guy. He has an agenda and pushes it HARD. Save yourself the time and find someone else. read more

I really recommend Dr. Talarico! The staff is very friendly! If u need a dpm he is the one u need to see!
