I found Emerald Coast Podiatry with great reviews and made an appointment. Dr. COSIMO A. RICCIARDI, DPM provided excellent care. After a few appointments, he introduced us to the Swift therapy which worked extremely well and also cleared up other warts (non plantar) my son had on his other foot. While this treatment wasn't covered by our insurance, it actually saved us from repeated visits if we continued on the traditional path we had been on. I was very impressed with the care we received.

He was able to diagnose what was wrong with my foot and show me how to tape it up. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and really cared about my issue. I had a hold up with my referral from him for an MRI so I could get the best treatment, as soon as possible, so his team reached out to my insurance and got the ball rolling. If you're looking for a doctor that really cares about your needs and has a wealth of knowledge experience and expertise, this practice is for you!

My GP recommended Dr. Squatrito's office and I could not be happier that she did. The front desk was a welcoming and professional person. Sorry, but I can't remember her name. Kelsi, the PA, called me back promptly on time (first time ever for me in a physician's office) and efficiently did the background for Dr. Squatrito. After radiographs, Dr. Squatrito met with me. She impressed me as knowledgeable and patient-centric in her approach. We decided to monitor the condition for now. If it deteriorates, we will go with an orthotic insert and surgery only if absolutely necessary. I was impressed with the entire operation at BFA and would recommend them to anyone needing a podiatrist.

I wound up with an automated appointment reminder phone call yesterday and called like 5 minutes ago to see why. Long story short- I like Dr. Chen but he needs to give his receptionist, Brenda, some better personal skills and phone etiquette because all three times we spoke she sounded like an uppity bitch.

I pray that whatever she's going through she can be strong enough to realize that it's not okay to push her feelings onto other people and talk to them with rudeness in her heart.

But I assure you, 5 stars is for a clinical visit, because I arrived extra early and they saw me anyhow, and were very professional. He actually sat down and introduced himself and reviewed the problem with me before leaving to let me undress! (I never understand that part - he's about to get up close and personal doing a breast exam and look at my lady parts - why bother leaving just so I can toss that dumb paper sheet over my lap?) No one I know enjoys the prospect of a cold steel speculum wrenching open her most precious parts while a stranger peers in and scrapes cells with what feel like a pitchfork from the cervix. But I was having some weird, sudden and unexplainable pain, so I cowgirl'd up and put my feet in the stirrups and crossed my eyes in pain while the Dr. cranked open the speculum til he could see straight to China. He very kindly withdrew the instrument in under a minute - no dilly-dallying here. Of course the manual exam is unpleasant - you never get used to someone you've met five minutes ago reaching inside with one hand and the other hand on your belly. Well, I guess there are some women who are used to 5 minute encounters, but I'm not one of them. Anyhow, the purpose of this is to feel for abnormalities - at least that's what I tell myself. Again, Dr. B very professional and quick. He gave me a preliminary diagnosis with a follow up for ultrasound. Overall he seemed very competent and concerned about comfort. First impression I would recommend.
