It was my first surgery and I was a bit nervous. He was super patient and the surgery went exceptionally well. If I had to do it again, I would absolutely take the trip to Miami as he is no longer in NYC.

This is the 3rd appointment with Dr. Vulcano. He is an EXCELLENT doctor. I learned that he is moving to Miami, so I will no longer see him. I will MISS HIM! Hopefully, my feet will remain healthy, so I won't have to see foot doctors! But, we need healthy feet to walk the streets of NYC! So.... He did recommend another doctor! THANK YOU! All the best to you in Miami!

I had a consult with Dr. Vulcano about his minimal incision bunion surgery and found him to be kind, attentive and willing to listen. He also explained what I could expect in terms of recovery after the surgery. I have great trust in his abilities as a physician and am going to schedule my surgery with him. I highly recommend speaking to him if you are in need of this procedure.

It was my first visit with dr Vulcano. I got x-ray visit was very short- surgery date has been set up and my problem will be solved soon.
Verified patient
Dr Vulcano is very good. He took time with me and answered all my questions. He prescribed me medication to take for 3 months before I would come back for a follow up appointment. At the end of that three month period, however, I got a call from his office that he stopped taking my insurance. Even though I needed a followup, the only option was to go out of pocket. Not happy with this service.
