March 15, 2017Kelly S.Verified patient
it was great to finally be seen by a podiatrist after a few poor experiences with scheduling one on Zoc Doc. But Dr Oster was worth the wait, and the travel. Everything about seeing him was great. Wasn't a fan of waiting in the room for 30min and with the door up and my feet naked, i would've preferred the door closed for privacy but everything else was perfect. Good choice..and I'll be back.

Great doctor! He listened and spent ample time with me. He recommended several steps to helping my foot pain. Much better than my last foot doctor! Receptionist was fantastic also.

Very professional, he explained everything to me. He designed a course of treatment. I'm hopeful of will work but won't know for for at least a month.
November 4, 2015Anita L.Verified patient
Dr. Oster is an amazing Doctor!! I scheduled my appointment on zoc doc and was seen on a Saturday which was great . I was seen right away with no wait time. He took his time explained everything, took my medical history, listened to all my questions, took his time to examine my feet and how I walk on them. He is very smart, down to earth, kind, and he really cares for his patients. He is a blessing because two days before going to him I went to a orthopedic doctor that spent only 10 minutes with me to tell me he does not know why i have foot pain and just brushed me off and told me to go to get an MRI..I'm so happy I found Dr. Oster because he honestly spent the time needed to treat a patient. He gave me a lot of suggestions and I will be going to him and only him for my foot problems . I wish all doctors were like him.
June 28, 2015Amal A.Verified patient
Dr. Oster and his staff are very professional and he has a great bedside manner. I hurt my feet and ankles more often than most folks, and I'm glad to have finally found a podiatrist for life!

It was a great visit. with Dr. Oster. He was very patient and explained everything he was doing and answered all our questions. Never knew he was right here in the neighborhood until we found ZocDoc. We will definitely be visiting his office again. Thank you for taking care of us.
January 14, 2015Philip G. W.Verified patient
Dr. Oster is fantastic. Usually I feel really self-conscious when exposing my feet since I'm a runner but Dr. Oster made me feel right at ease. I went in for foot pain due to an ingrown toenail and cuboid pain from running. Since I was training for a marathon, I wanted to make sure it wouldn't inhibit my running. Dr. Oster fixed my issues promptly and helped keep my feet in great shape for the marathon.

Dr Oster is very intelligent and professional. He diagnoses the problem and offers treatment options. He is very wiling to work with the patient On top of that he is very caring, concerned, and has an excellent demeanor with patients. I highly recommend him.
More than 1 year agoSteven W.Verified patient
Very kind and friendly staff. Returning for follow up next week after the removal of foreign body with hopes of a clean heal. Dr. Oster is very verbal and comforting. Having my feet touched is typically a very uncomfortable situation for me, but he made the situation feel very comfortable.
