Helped me a lot with my heel pain. Standing on concrete for 38 years caused my heels constant discomfort at work. Doc showed me stretching exercises and 3 cortizone shots in right heel, and some meds. Feet feeling better now. I would recommend Dr. D highly, even if I can't say his name right.

I wish there was an option to leave zero stars and still write a review. Wouldn't recommend I am not happy with the quality of care I received. The lack of explanation about my issue and the incompetent after care I received after my surgery. I ended up having to see another doctor to fix his mistake.

I was not happy with the quality of care. dr. disabato never took the time to thoroughly explain the treatment, it was how fast they could pop in say a few words and move on to the next patient. Also was given conflicting treatment directions for my treatment fro. His partner after there were complications it was if they didn't bother talking to each other. one doctor prescribed a total dry treatment of the area in question and the other prescribed a total wet treatment of the area in question. I found out later that neither doctor talked to each other about my treatment, totally unprofessional!!

Yes I would and have recommend Dr. Disabato to my family and friends. He was kind, caring of the pain I was in. He and his staff was always helpful. Dr. Disabato performed my surgery. He explained everything he was going to do. And the follow ups after surgery. And I'm very pleased the results.

I would give less stars if it were an option. I knew 100% that I have been dealing with sytemic fungal issues for the past 7 months and included toenail fungus and athletes foot that are persistent and ruining my joy. Dr Disabato told me flat out that I did NOT have toenail fungus or athletes foot and that it was a virus like HFM! I couldn't believe it. Insisted he culture my nail. Came back positive in less than two weeks. Wanted to give me an ineffective cream i could buy otc...joke

Dr. Disabato was recommended to me by a family member, and I am so glad I took her advice to see him. After being in pain for several months, he quickly diagnosed my issue and while it needed to be resolved with surgery, he and his team did an excellent job. I had surgery in late May, and am healing quickly. Dr. Disabato and his staff are very caring, detail-oriented and thorough. it has been a pleasure to meet them and has made my recovery easier.

My experience with Dr. Disabato has been excellent in every respect. I was referred to him to correct foot deformities & a foot ulcer that had not healed after 9 years of constant treatment. He evaluated my condition & recommended surgery. Surgery was in late March and by the end of May I was completely healed, with the deformities corrected & the ulcer eliminated…just as Dr. Disabato had predicted. For the first time in 9 years, I have a fully restored foot & can resume normal activities!

I can't say enough about Dr. Disabto and how great he has been to me. I've had a very traumatic experience with foot surgery and have been in chronic pain since. Dr Disabto took the extra time as he always does to explain things to me and reassure me. He's professional, knowledgeable, and is overall a great guy. His staff, including Dr. Bajani are always helpful and nice. It's been a wonderful experience for me and I'm just so glad I was able to find this practice to help me.

Hello Readers! If you are in need of finding a great surgeon who specializes in foot and ankle care then I'd like to recommend Dr. Disabato. I saw him for a 2nd opinion consult for severe pain in my right foot & ankle & he confirmed I needed surgery to resolve the problem & he did it! He is the most caring & supportive doctor I've ever met & I say this because I whined about being in a doggone cast but his kindness & support through this process has helped tremendously. Worth the 45 min. drive!
