“Perfect experience....I came in for a completely different issue, and during the visit she examined my foot and immediately recognized that the reason for my visit was actually related to another issue I have been dealing with for decades. Something I never mentioned..
After struggling with this for so many years, it was incredible to finally have someone recognize the connection so quickly. Quite honestly, a little unbelievable to have a doctor recognize something that had never been brought up.....amazing!
I also want to mention how wonderful her entire staff was. Everyone I iwas friendly, welcoming, patient, and genuinely caring. ”

Pleasant and straightforward visit. Reception was very accommodating to my ankle injury, guided me through intake, and had me in and out of the appointment quickly. Dr. Giustiniano took time to listen, asked thoughtful questions, gave clear care instructions, and didn't make me feel rushed or silly asking detailed questions. Overall really positive, excited to stick with this team through the rest of my treatment!
July 16, 2026Gabriel G.Verified patient
It's just my first appointment for two different foot injuries. The staff is friendly. Everything happened very quickly. Very little waiting time. Doctor assessed the injuries with x-rays on the spot. It's the first of a number of steps but I'm well on my way. Easy to get to via subway.

This was a great experience. I came back to my office and told my co workers how informative the doctor was. I felt she explained everything in terms that I understood.

Professionally run and well staffed office. Odd that podiatrists don't look more holistically at leg length, gait, strength and other aspects of movement, strength and flexibility-- even when a bone issue. The doctor seemed rushed and I felt as if she was reciting the same speech she gives multiple times a day. I had to bring up PT. I'd encourage working on presence- but friendly and knowledgeable!

Very helpful and efficient appointment for my injured ankle! She x-rayed it, walked me through the injury and recovery plan, and gave me a soft cast and a walking boot — all in under 30 min. Highly recommend!
