Dr. G phoned ahead of time to let me know their schedule was running behind, which saved me waiting time. He was a clear communicator, patiently answered all my questions and showed interest in my recovery. He was also sensitive to additional costs. I would highly recommend his practice.
Verified patient
He listened to my problems and educated me on what was going on with both my toe and ankle. He was very efficient, and made me feel like I was in good hands when healing my foot.

Great visit! Nice doctor. The visit was quick and easy, it felt like a regular conversation. Despite espite COVID I felt safe in the office. I'd recommend this office to anyone looking for a kind,considerate doctor.
Verified patient
Considering both of us had to wear a mask, it was still easy to have a conversation with him. I was the only patient there, so there wasn't a rush to get me out. Overall it was a nice office and experience.
Verified patient
I am a runner and recently experienced a lot of arch pain, making it difficult for me to remain active. Dr. Giagnacova identified the injury and gave me a plan to recovery. My foot is already improving and Dr. G is very patient and accessible to answer any and all of my questions. Thank you!
Verified patient
I am not one to leave bad reviews and will not go into my experience on this review, but I would never go back. I was beyond uncomfortable from the moment I got there except for his very friendly receptionist. I'm in the medical field and observed things that I believe were not up to proper safety precautions so I walked out 1/2 way through my appt b/c I did not want him to treat me.
He was fabulous- he was kind and spoke like a human and not a robot. I appreciated how quick he was and how thorough he seemed!
Verified patient
Dr. Giagnacova is excellent, courteous, and direct to the point to help you get healthy. Clearly explains the process/alternatives for care!
Verified patient
Dr. Giagnacova was right to the point which is fine with me. No frills, no chaser, straight! He worked on my foot and although the procedure was uncomfortable, my feet are brand new. I'm wearing shoes I haven't worn in months. I'll be back in Sept!
Verified patient
Dr. Giagnacova was very nice very knowledgeable, helpful and answered all my questions. I was seen right the way didn’t have to wait at all. I would definitely highly recommend him.
Verified patient
Very friendly and knowledgeable. I had a very painful ingrown toenail removed. He numbed the toe and went to work. I was in and out in about 30 minutes, maybe less.
Verified patient
Dr Albert provided me attentive care and impressive results all in one session. I was excited to learn that Dr Albert could help me manage a long time foot problem. I also appreciated the recommendations he shared including getting regular foot massages and even sharing a place he personally recommends to get the service. As a competitive athlete and business professional my physical performance is critical. Dr Albert was able to understand my lifestyle context and pinpoint a strong solution that fit my lifestyle. Foot care can be embarrassing but Dr Albert was pleasant, made me feel comfortable and was clearly knowledgeable and solution orientated in supporting my injury management. I recommend Dr Albert and plan to return for regular foot care management.
Verified patient
Zero wait time, I didn’t even have to take a seat in the waiting area. Dr. Giagnacova was polite, compassionate and professional, he he is knowledgeable and explained everything to me in detail. I would highly recommend him to my friends and family.
Verified patient
Dr. G is very knowledgable, but able to speak in layman's terms. He was patient and helped evaluate my situation. I would highly recommend him.
Verified patient
Office is kind of shabby and Dr. Giagnacova has a very informal manner/appearance, but is professional and knows his stuff. Quick turnaround, no upsell pressure.
Looking at the building from the outside made me skeptical at first,but once inside he and his assistant Kim were nothing short of incredible in their professionalism and courtesy.They were thorough in addressing ALL my concerns and I was confident about the course of action suggested for treatment. I have already told my son to make an appointment with him also.
Verified patient
A medical professional in the truest sense. I was suffering from mystery discomfort in my right ankle which limited my usual activity level & had been showing a noticeable limp for longer than a typical sprain. Dr. Albert ordered comprehensive x-rays to pin point the source of the discomfort; and upon visiting with him to review the images, he pointed out the detail that explained the discomfort and we took necessary action to remedy my concern. I really thought it was going to be a stress fracture or something needing surgery, but to my relief wasn't as bad as I had feared. All in all, was a very good choice for the medical attention I needed & he came through a recommendation. Word of mouth - rules!
Verified patient
I went in there on Dec 14,2016 was seen in no time he said he didn't take my insurance no more but he still saw me and took care of me I had a ingrown toenail he took it rite out that was really nice of him I think to still see me and do it..... My toe feel so much better now
Verified patient
I highly recommend Dr Giagnacova. His professional approach and demeanor is something I've rarely found in today's practice of medicine. Upon completing my history I was immediately seen by Dr Giagnacova who did a thorough exam and took the time to explain treatment options to me in language I could understand. I left his office confident that I'm in good hands! Allen M.
Verified patient
Dr. Giagnacova was very patient, intelligent and understanding. He gave me several medical options to fix my foot. He took time to really listen to my needs. He seemed to really care about me as a person as well as a patient. I would highly recommend him.
Verified patient
I had made an appointment with Dr. Giagnacova's office for a bone density test which was listed online as one of the services they offered. When I arrived there, the 2 receptionists had no idea what a dexascan was, and I was told that they didn't provide that service. I informed them that it was listed on their site. They were completely unaware of that. Also, I had filled out my patient forms online, but when I got to the office, I was told that they didn't get them so I had to fill them out again. My appt. was for 9:00, but I was told that the doctor was doing his rounds in the hospital, so he wouldn't be there for a while. He ended up coming in his office at about 9:35. Totally unacceptable visit. He said he had no idea that his site even listed dexa scanning.
Verified patient
The doctor is great. He is friendly, knowledgable and efficient. Apparently I went on a day when the doctor's normally office staff was out and the temps were very rude and unprofessional. However, the doctor was excellent and that is why I will be going back. I hope the staff improves, but a good doctor is hard to find so if I have to ignore a rude receptionist, who cares?
Verified patient
The only problem I had was that the address on zoc doc is wrong. I had to call to find the place, something should be done to fix it
Could not have bin better.
Verified patient
He was not aware that I had an appointment.
Dr Giagnacova is an amazing and thoughtful man. Very thorough in his preparation to remove my two big toenails, which were infected with fungus for over a decade! I am so glad that I finally had this procedure done, and by a very experienced doctor. The little bit of pain that I felt was only at first with the novacane needles, but the procedure was pain-free. The assistant nurse, Kelly, was also very nice and helpful. If you are looking for a top-notch foot doctor to take care of you, look no further.
