May 26, 2021Helen P.Verified patient
I was seen mainly by the doctor who works under Dr. Spielfogel's supervision. After, Dr. Spielfogel popped in and we reviewed what had been discussed. Each of them had excellent suggestions and advice. I feel it was a good visit. It's a very small office and the receptionist was very nice. When I first got there the small waiting area was empty, but when I left it was quite full. I would not have been comfortable sitting there even though masks were worn.
April 28, 2021Ellen D.Verified patient
Dr. Spielfogel was awesome. He has a great bedside manner, he talked me through my procedure and even guided me through some belly breathing to help me cope with any pain. His team was wonderful too. They put me at ease, and were very kind, funny and professional. I can’t recommend them highly enough. The facilities were clean and the appointments were spaced out to where I didn’t even have to come into contact with other patients.
December 1, 2020Matthew P.Verified patient
The staff was friendly and efficient. I was seen on time, all of my concerns were addressed, everyone was respectful of COVID-19 safety precautions. I highly recommend this practice.

April 20, 2017Irving R.Verified patient
This was my first visit. I made the appointment on the recommendation of my husband who previously saw Dr. Spielfogel and said he was excellent. The doctor was personable and professional. Staff was also accommodating and very pleasant.
March 8, 2017Nancy D.Verified patient
The visit to discuss and take measurements for replacement orthotics went well. I had every expectation that the doctor's office would get back with me regarding how much, if any, of the cost would be covered by my insurance. It's been more than 3 weeks and I've heard nothing despite leaving a message for the doctor's office.
Given how costly it is to attract new patients I'm quite surprised at the lack of follow-up - but I'm glad to find out now before spending more money here.

Dr. William & his staff were very professional and friendly. The doctor took great care of me and fixed my problem. I also appreciate their office accommodating my need to expedite my appointment because I was visiting their office on my lunch hour.
October 29, 2015Maria P.Verified patient
Dr. Spielfogel was able to treat my foot injury in weeks after dealing with other doctors for close to 10+ months. He really took the time to diagnose properly and knew immediately the right approach for a solution. I have not had any further feet issues in the last 2+ years after being treated by him and appreciate his continued support via checkups and customized orthotics. Thank you!

Absolutely outstanding! Asked lots of questions to get to know me as a patient and then used that information to ask more distracting questions while fixing my foot. Was patient and nice. Outstanding bedside manner.
Front desk staff was outstanding, too - took the time to be absolutely certain that they could accept my very confusing health insurance, which I greatly appreciate!! Overall the best experience I've had at a Dr's office in a long time.
