I cannot recommend Dr. Brummer more, especially if you're in a situation where you can't take an x-ray and you need a doctor who will truly listen and respect what you have to say.

He performed a major reconstruction of both my feet in 2020. Since then, I've had a new type of pain that isn't going away, and completely deformed, crooked toes. I went to multiple post op opinions, last being with an orthopedic surgeon from HSS and everyone was horrified with my scars, surgery, and before/after photos. Everyone is asking 'why?' In retrospect, my biggest mistake was not getting a second opinion after seeing Dr Voloshin. I blindly trusted in what Dr Voloshin told me (he is a 'doctor' after all!) . I had no concept of understanding of how surgery should be done and what are the risks associated with it. Dr Voloshin didn't explain the risks to me of the procedures he was going to do, like toe shortening, ironically, he assured me, that I won't even notice, that anything was performed on my toes,that flexibility will back 100% in a few months, that I'm going to thank him forever,"I guess won't forget him now forever". If he would have told me that the toes may not heal properly because of how RISKY the surgery was, that the toes are going to be stiff forever - I would have never agreed to the surgery. My toes and feet were healthier before, I didn't have a hammer toe, but now, only God knows how I can find a specialist who can fix the awful, botched job that Dr Voloshin performed on me. I'm only 37.On top of it all, I am not able to do any sports or physical activity because of the amount of pain I'm in and stiffness of my toes.I'm destroyed. Dr Voloshin should not be operating on anyone and should not be trusted. P.s. I'll attach my photos, it's hard to look at them though

However, the issue continued to grow and became more painful. A dermatologist later diagnosed it as a plantar wart and began treatment. When I attempted to follow up with the podiatrist, I was told by the office (on the day of my appointment) not to come in and to instead see my primary care doctor. My primary care doctor also examined it and agreed that it appeared to be a plantar wart and proceeded with treatment, and was confused why podiatry would not evaluate it. I was surprised by the lack of reassessment and the decision not to evaluate an ongoing and painful foot condition. I would have appreciated a more thorough follow-up or willingness to reconsider the diagnosis.

The Center for Musculoskeletal Care is an NYU Langone medical center for orthopedics, rheumatology,…read morerehabilitation and physical therapy. The first thing you'll notice is that this medical center is in a general office building that has a turnstile entrance for employees only. You'll have to check in at the front desk as a visitor. So obviously this place is by appointment only. I had an appointment with a rheumatologist. Taking the elevator to the 4th floor, you'll realize it's a very modern facility. There's even a fingerprint ID system if you opted for it. My only bad experience comes from the paperwork end, aka the reception desk. The first think they asked for is a paper referral. After all the paperwork that they emailed me in advance to fill out, asking me to come 30 minutes prior to my appointment for more paperwork, and an "electronic" prescription registration, they wanted me to print out my referral. Well, first off, I had a paper referral, but for another doctor, the reception didn't want to schedule me for my first option because that doctor wasn't "ready" for my HMO, even though the entire internet and my HMO said that she takes my insurance. Since it is quite a travel to my PCP, I phoned for my second referral. The center kept calling me after 6pm for a hard or faxed copy of this referral. The office was closed the next day so I had to call the day after for a referral. I asked my PCP office to fax it to the number the Center gave me (all 646 numbers). Long story short, they never received the fax but never bother call me until after 6pm again. So on the day of my appointment, you can see why I'm very crabby about the whole paper referral demand. I went onto my HMO account and just printed out what was available to me (which was my account number, and the referral authorization number). The receptionist told me to wait 5 minutes to see if that was valid and she'll be with me shortly. Well, she never got back to me, so I waited 15 minutes before I went back to the front desk again. "Oh right!" she exclaimed (she forgot about me). So my "electronic referral" is acceptable and I just need to fill out a couple more forms and then I'm done. So after the whole paper mess is all over with, the doctor and nurses are actually capable and nice. The rheumatologist I saw was very professional and listened well while giving good insights. Equipment-wise, this place is state-of-the-art. Clean, pristine, cloth gowns! (not even disposable). When I asked for water, they gave me juice instead. If you can afford it and you don't mind the heighten security along with receptionists that want to make sure you can pay for it, give it a try!

This review is for the Physical Therapy center at NYU Langone's Center for Musculoskeletal Care…read more The place is fancy and the therapists are knowledgeable, but the billing is complicated and is done through the hospital, so it might not show up on your insurance in the way you expect. I expected the PT to be covered by Aetna at the $30 copay per visit rate, but because NYU bills as a hospital, I was 100% covered _after_ the my deductible. So if you've used your deductible, this might be a good deal, but if not it is expensive.

I'm updating my previous review. I've now been to this podiatrist 3 times in a year (twice within 4…read moreweeks). My issue is that I returned after a year of trying conservative management of my painful feet issues, to no avail. I needed a more in-depth investigation into the cause of the pain. He ordered an ultrasound of my feet which I had done at an NYU facility, and he ordered PT with very generic diagnoses (not based on any diagnostic evidence). In retrospect, PT should have been ordered after the ultrasound results were reviewed. The day I started PT I received my US results so I was able to show the PT the results, because he wanted to know what we were treating, since it was vague. I have multiple neuromas, plantar plate tears and little toe joint inflammation. The PT said PT doesn't help for neuroma pain and was annoyed by the lack of direction from the podiatrist. And I was getting annoyed as well. I went to my follow up podiatry appointment and it was like we were meeting for the 1st time. He didn't remember what my problems were or that I had had an ultrasound. He gets the results but I guess doesn't read them in advance, like not even right before I walk into his office, like just read your past notes quickly so that you remember the background info of the patient's issue. So I reiterated all my pain issues and informed him I did the US he ordered and has he seen the results as well. He then quickly looked at it and reiterated the neuromas (which aren't new), didn't mention the bursitis or the ligament tears. I had to point it out and ask. We talked about cortisone injections which I wanted to try since I really just wanted some relief. The 1st injection was so rough and painful that I flinched and felt the needle (which started through the top of foot) hit or even go through the ball of my foot. It's been 6 weeks and I still feel pain in that spot, like there's a small rock in the ball of my foot. I did another injection in my peroneal tendon which also hurts, and it helped very minimally. I also finally conceded to custom orthotics. He seemed a little clumsy making the molds (which were tbe foam boxes you step in and aren't used by most good podiatrists anymore) and had to do it over. He said it should take about 4 weeks and they'll call me when it's ready. After 6 weeks I hadn't heard from anyone so I called. The receptionist didn't know what I was talking about and there was no note of the molds being sent out. Plus, had they been sent out and received, I would've been billed since they won't make them without being paid first. So he probably stuck them in a corner somewhere, and maybe they got thrown out and he didn't remember he made them in the 1st place, because had he realized they didn't go out, you'd think he'd call and apologize for the mishap and we need to redo the molds. I went and saw someone else shortly after who was much more helpful, ordered an MRI, rx'd anti-inflammatories, taught me taping techniques, made casts for orthotics which I got back within 2 weeks. So, he's a nice guy, and made an ok 1st impression, but is overall pretty sloppy, has poor follow through, and questionable skill with procedures and diagnostic ability...
