Well, I was in a lot of pain for a couple of weeks and before leaving the office I wasn't anymore. I'm glad I was able to get in to see Dr. Colabella. He was great. Aside from taking care of my immediate issue, he explained some long-term treatment and alternatives I can consider. Needless to say, I will definitely be going back to Dr. Colabella for any foot problems I have. So if you have a foot problem Dr. Colabella is the one to see.
Verified patient
Excellent. I appreciated that Dr. Colabella took the time to explain why I was still having issues and how it can be remedied. I was able to get immediate relief with the treatment he gave me on the spot. I am going back for another treatment and will continue to see Dr. Colabella for my foot/ankle problems in the future. Highly recommend him as your foot doctor. Good choice.

A very personable doctor who sometimes gets caught up and can't find the time to complete paperwork. But he's great.
Great guy during visit. Follow up is a little slow in terms of getting orthopedics etc. He did solve my problem.
He's fantastic! Great ortho, knowledgable doc, and so friendly. Highly recommended.

Verified patient
Short wait time, but I would not recommend this person. I went in because of chronic pain at the ball of my foot. All he did was look at my foot, felt it around and said I needed custom insoles and needed to stay off my foot--impossible in NYC. Did little more than push custom insoles. I went to another podiatrist who saw that I had stress fractures and had me wear a moon boot to immobilize/offload weight and allow my foot to heal.
Verified patient
Follow up went well. Excellent doctor and experience. Id recommend Dr. Colabella to friends and family. If you have any foot problems Id tell you to make an appointment he's understanding and easy to talk to.
Verified patient
I have some reoccurring pain in my foot and Dr. Colabella explained his diagnosis clearly and made a recommendation. I was quite confident in his ability and overall satisfied. His office was clean and my wait was minimal
Verified patient
My favorite Doctor.
Verified patient
HE WAS PROFESSIONAL AND TO THE POINT
Verified patient
The whole experience was very "sales-y". He was ready to cut my foot open that same day, which is great if I really needed it! He even called me later on that day, unsolicited, to let me know that the price he had quoted for the minor suregery would expire by the end of the day... WHAT?! I did not go back, did not get the procedure, took care of the foot myself with some home-remedies and my foot is 100%!
Zocdoc said that this provider carrier my insurance, but it turns out they don't. I wish they would have confirmed the insurance needs earlier before I came in
Frank Colabella was very nice and the appointment was quick. However, I felt like he just wanted to sell me on more services he offers like custom shoe inserts and some invasive procedure. I didn't feel confident in what I need to do now to help my foot get better and will likely go to another doctor's office to get a second opinion. Also, I took the time to fill out all of my information on Zocdoc and they made me do it all again with their system, even though I had already done it.
Dr. Colabella was very helpful and efficient in my appointment. I have a busy schedule and limited hours that I can make doctor's appointments and he was super flexible. He had helpful suggestions about what facilities to try out for physical therapy. I will definitely be coming back.
Verified patient
My second visit for a different matter. The office is clean and the front desk personnel are very organized and informed. Dr. Colabella takes the time to explain all options and course of actions. Would recommend to family and friends alike.
Verified patient
Very concise and knowledgable. Highly reccomend!l
Expect to reschedule numerous times, change locations, wait long before your appointment, and have overpriced and overdue healing aids sent to you a week after your operation. Very unprofessional.
Verified patient
I was glad to find out the source of my foot pain, and Dr. Colabella was very useful for that. But I felt that the doctor ignored all suggestions that I made for longer term non-invasive methods and tried to rush me into surgery. I wasn't confident about getting the procedure done and felt that the doctor was heavy handed.
Appointment was great! Office is very nice and there was no wait time. Doctor was very nice and helpful. Definitely would recommend him.
The staff was very professional, the facilities were spotless and comfortable. Dr. Colabella was very kind and helped me with my foot problem immediately. I can't thank him enough!
Verified patient
Another wonderful experience with Dr. Colabella. As he always does, he took the time to really listen to my concerns and responded thoughtfully. My visits are always convenient and my foot is only feeling better. I would highly recommend.
Verified patient
Dr. Colabella's knowledge, bedside manner, and overall care is absolutely the best. I was in a significant amount of foot pain for 5 days, and booked a same-day appointment to have it checked out. Dr. C knew exactly what needed to be done to relieve the pain - but it involved a minor surgical operation right then and there. Of course, being surprised with a minor surgery (that required anesthesia!) on what I thought would be routine lunch break visit was a bit frightening, but Dr. C's bedside manner and great sense of humor put me at ease right away. His in-office operating room was nicer and more state-of-the-art than the operating room I had surgery in at Beth Israel Hospital! He explained the procedure clearly and it was over before I knew it. The entire appointment from check-in to check-out took about two hours, and I felt immediate relief of the serious pain I was in. Dr. C sent me home with all the necessary medications, after-care, and instructions I would need to take care of my foot, and even went the extra mile to call and check in two weeks later. I'm feeling so much better, and any time I have a foot problem I'll definitely be back to see Dr. Colabella.
Verified patient
The office was dirty. If a doctors office is not clean it really concerns me when they want to do any type of medical procedures. The doctor and staff were nice but it creeped me out.
I am a marathon runner and have been having trouble with my ankles. He was helpful and recommended orthotics, which he got to me in less than a week. On top of that he taped my feet so I could continue running while I waited.
He is just the best. Very knowledgable doctor who really takes the time to explain what's going on. He actually makes a "doctors visit" enjoyable -- he's a fantastic person. Highly recommended!!
Verified patient
Easy to speak to- true pleasure dealing with him
Dr. Colabella took a little while to see me because there seemed to be all sorts of technical problems in their office with the internet and printers and their credit card readers, but once we got into a exam room he immediately identified my issue and suggested a treatment, talked me through the procedure he wanted to perform, and treated me right away where another doctor might have made me come back for a follow-up appointment. I was really pleased with how professional he was and how good he was at explaining why he was making the recommendations he was making. If I have trouble with my feed in the future, I will certainly come back to him.
Verified patient
I felt like Dr. Colabella was more interested in selling me services (that conveniently weren't covered by my insurance) than he was with helping me solve the problems I came in to see him about.
the visit was good
Verified patient
better than I expected- in and out in less than an hour- got to the root of my problem and discussed several options before deciding on a course- nothing bad to say. he was super funny and very professional .
Verified patient
My experience with Dr. Colabella and the Surgery & Wellness Center has been simply wonderful. I came to Dr. Colabella with foot pain that had been stumping other doctors and bothering me for over a year. Within the first appointment he had discovered my problem and expedited the treatment process in order to meet my insurance termination deadline. Dr. Colabella performed surgery to remove a heel spur in my foot using Tenex technology. I literally walked off the operation table feeling better than when I walked on. Now, nearly 2.5 weeks out, I have no pain. I would highly recommend Dr. Colabella.
Verified patient
Dr. Colabella is extremely pleasant and takes his time in seeing you and explaining things. I look forward to recommending him to a friend or family member.
Verified patient
Great bedside manners and was able to diagnose my pains right away. If it wasn't for my prior engagements I would do the recommended surgery right away. I can't wait to end the foot pain and know Dr Calabella is the right choice based on our face to face consultation, past reviews and high level of confidence he has.
Verified patient
Dr. Colabella was absolutely wonderful. He truly listened to my issues and took the time to explain his thoughts. He even had his assistant verify whether or not my insurance would cover a particular procedure (she was fabulous as well btw). I would highly recommend Dr. Colabella to a friend.
My first impression was a good one the office located in a beautiful part of town. My foot was in a lot of pain so the elevator was a welcome sight. When I got to the 10th floor I was very impressed by the office area. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who took my information electronically. Dr. Colabella arrived on time and was very friendly and personable. After examining my foot he gave me some helpful advice and gave me his diagnosis. Overall I am quite satisfied and would recommend Dr. Colabella to family and friends.

He is fantastic... Great Doctor
Verified patient
Dr Frank Colabella is very knowledgeable in his craft. He explained everything clearly and I felt comfortable. I was really impressed that he called me personally to reschedule my appointment because he had a personal matter to attend to. He is very concerned and take a great interest in his patients.
Verified patient
I highly recommend this doctor.
Verified patient
I got right in, we discussed and examined my (broken) foot. He put it in a soft cast and gave me a boot for it, and then we scheduled follow-ups to check my progress and re-cast it. i was perfectly happy with the outcome.
The process for receiving my orthotics was very long and drawn out. Proper expectations weren't really set, so I waited an entire month when I thought it would be a week.
It was great visit, very nice guy.
For my sprained ankle, Dr. Colabella immediately recommended an invasive surgical procedure - Tenex - before he even felt around the ankle or did any diagnostic tests. This recommendation seemed aggressive, procedure-driven, rather than diagnostic.
Excellent and professional
Dr. Colabella is an amazing podiatrist. Besides his medical skills, he is dedicated to his patients, spends has much time as needed and provides ample medical and anatomical explanations about all procedures. On my first appointment, he called me 15 minutes prior to make sure I would find the right elevator (since I had a sprained ankle). Finally, his office is beautiful and located in Gramercy Park, which makes the visit much more pleasant.
Verified patient
He is always highly professional and he really cares. I appreciate the lack of bureucracy to get his attention by phone or email, he is always responsive.
Verified patient
Dr. Colabella was great. He was very informative and I could tell that he genuinely cares about the wellness of his patients. I would highly recommend him.
