I cannot rave enough about how incredible this office is. From the receptionists to the nurse who saw me to Dr. Dipretoro, everybody has fantastic bedside manner and truly wants to help you. I have never felt so heard and so validated in a medical facility before.

Dr. Suchak is brilliant and a wonderful person. I have been to several doctors in the area and she is the first one to take all of the necessary steps to figure out what was really wrong with me and then execute a plan to correct and repair. She is excellent. Hope and the other staff are wonderful as well and very caring. I highly recommend!

I have been a patient of Dr. DiPretoro for many years, mainly because of Hammer Toe issues and I am a runner. He has the best bedside manners and is a very thorough doctor. With each of my surgeries, he was patient and answered all of my questions. The staff is equally as king and patient. I refer all of my friends to his practice.

Dr. DiPretoro and the entire staff are the real deal. No matter what the foot issue is, it is explored, explained, and handled promptly. This is truly the most efficient practice I have ever had the pleasure of visiting as a patient. I never hesitate to call if an issue arises-it is more like hanging out with a friend than handling a medical problem. Do not hesitate!

Not a place for orthotics. They set you with your feet elevated, but then check with your weight on the orthotics, what a surprise they don't fit! Then it's a guessing game as they clearly don't know what they are doing as they try to get something good enough for your feet. I wish I had known they're substandard methods before I went there.
