Dr. Drapacz and his nurse were great. I went to them for a sprained ankle. There was a bit of a wait, but he did call to let me know that they were running behind. He was able to do the x-rays in office and had me on my way in no time. He even called the next day to make sure that all was well. Their office is a bit shabby, but his bedside manner and level of treatment were great. I would go to him again without question.

I went to Dr.Drapacz office for an ankle injury. Visiting from New Jersey, I hurt my ankle while I was out and about. Not knowing any doctors in new York City, I immediately did some online research and came across all of his great reviews. And boy were those reviews spot on. From the first phone call to the actual visit, their customer service was excellent. Dr.Drapacz got me in promptly and explained all costs up front. He was very courteous and informative. Got me in a brace and back on my feet in a blink of an eye. I only wish I lived in the New York City area so that I could go to him whenever experiencing any foot or ankle related issues.

I booked an appointment on a Thursday for the following Wednesday. I should have been tipped off when I received a call from Dr. Drapacz on Thursday telling me I was late for my appointment that night, at which point I explained that it was next week. He told me that it was hard to read Zoc Doc notifications. I arrived for my appointment the following week and found that the office was closed. I called the doctor and he told me that he didn't know I was coming in that night, and asked what my condition was. I told him and he said it would take 10 minutes and how about I came in the next morning. With insurance and everything, he said the whole visit would probably take an hour. I explained that I needed to leave for work by 9, so I would come in at 8. When I arrived in the morning, not only did the office not know why I was there, but the doctor came out to apologize and told me that his receptionist had spoken to me yesterday and told me that he couldn't see me the night before. Apparently she had gotten me confused with another patient because we had similar first names. He didn't see me until 8:30 because he had lost his credit card, at which point he came into the procedure room and told me that I had three options: to wait an hour for him to take care of me, to wait 15 minutes for another doctor to take care of me or to come back another day because he had to go into surgery at 9. I told him I didn't understand why this was an issue when yesterday he told me it would take 10 minutes and he knew I was coming in at 8. He said he thought I was coming in at 7:30. I reiterated our conversation from the day before. He asked me what time I arrived. I said 8. He said, that it was now 8:30. I said it would have been helpful if he had told me this ahead of time. He walked out of the room and argued with another doctor (this happened several times) about doing my procedure. The other doctor, whose patient was already under anesthesia, had to scrub out to take care of my foot. The office had forgotten to give me a consent form or explain to me anything about what I was getting done. I proceeded to pass out as they were numbing my foot and when I came to, the doctor asked why I hadn't told him that I had fainted before. Because they didn't tell me about the procedure, I had no way of knowing that I was at risk of fainting. I now have to go back in for a follow up next week. All the staff was very nice, but my experience with Dr. Drapcaz was terrible. From what I heard from the doctors he was arguing with, he's apparently very disorganized and this happens frequently. Find another doctor, and save yourself the trouble.

I saw Dr. Drapacz for my painful heels. He is an experienced and knowledgeable Podiatrist and has a fantastic bedside manner. As an athlete I have had foot problems for several years. He relieved my pain on the first visit and explained everything to me so that I could make an informed decision about my feet. His staff is also very professional and friendly. I have already told several of my coworkers who stand on their feet all day to go see him asap. I know they will be as satisfied with Dr. Drapacz as I was.

I was really impressed and very happy with Dr. Drapacz. I have seen him several times and am completely satisfied. After seeing 2 other doctors I had my surgery done by Dr. Drapacz. The entire experience went smoothly. My surgery came out great. The scar is barely noticeable and I am walking pain free for the first time in years. The entire staff was very friendly and supportive. My husband just had a procedure done and so far everything is going great for him as well. It is rare to find a doctor that shows as much care and concern. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Drapacz deserves five stars across the board for the following reasons: 1) I have a crazy schedule, and he made availability for me at 8pm on a Tuesday on very short notice 2) He diagnosed my problem, prescribed a few remedies, and made my foot feel better 3) He listened to all of my concerns, answered all of my questions, and never made me feel rushed 4) He followed up with me the next day and asked how my foot was feeling with the new brace. HIGHLY recommended!

Doctor D was great. My wait time was very reasonable, fifteen minutes or less. Somehow he managed to calm my fears through minor foot surgery (nail removal). It was actually quick and painless.

Dr. Drapacz's professionalism made me feel a lot better about my injured foot. He was very easy to talk to and had a great sense of humor which was appreciated considering how anxious i was about my injury. I dropped a heavy weight on my foot 6 days before the marathon and after determining that i had no broken bones, he dressed it and told me what to do for the next few days. I was short of my goal finishing time but still had a personal best and Dr. Drapacz's help certainly played a large part in my being able to physically and mentally run the race. I also currently have no insurance which was not a problem...and the fee was very, very reasonable. I can highly recommend Dr. Drapacz.

I should have followed my instincts when I booked my appointment on this site for 10:45 in Elmhurst which is close to me. I decided to confirm just in case. Well Dr. Drapacz then told me he can't be in that office so I had to go to another office in Harlem. I get there and there's a problem with an employee, and the doctor takes him in the back to talk. (which I appreciated b/c I felt I shouldn't be privy to the conversation) Well after the employee leaves the doctor tells me "don't feel sorry for him. He comes in an thinks he's going to work when he wants to work" Really? Even if it's true why would he be discussing this with a patient. Extremely unprofessional.
