Dr. Rock is the best. I had my bunion done. He was very professional and friendly and he knows what he is doing. My feet looks so much better than before. And I’m so happy with my experience with Dr.Rock.;)
Thank you!

I have had such embarrassing moments being a woman and having bad feet. No cute sandals in the summer time, hiding my feet for years. I am 46 now and finally said enough of this. I reviewed a lot of doctors, and honestly Dr. Rock seemed to be the best. March 6^th, 2015 I did my right foot surgery, sent with a cane and a black shoe. I got home and I really had no pain, so I decided to do the left the following week. So my right foot had a bunion and a hammertoe on the second toe, my left had a bunion and 2 hammertoes, 2^nd and 3^rd toe.
Since having my second foot done, no pain! I am truly happy. In getting my left foot done, Dr. Rock changed the dressing on my right foot, and said it looked great. I can’t wait to see my new feet which I will be in a sneaker on March 26^th for the right one I had done first.
Dr. Rock truly ROCKS! He texted me regarding both of my feet. I had a question about the numbness and he responded right away. He truly is a great person, I would recommend him to anyone, including my daughter who has a bunion on both feet. I told her to go to him, as she sees my recovery and truly impressed, that I have not once woke up screaming from pain, LOL!!!
I’m truly glad I made this decision to get it done, and pick the greatest doctor to do it.
Everything was right on point, i did not have long waits or anything, in and out of surgery, and just getting things done in a timely manner. I am looking to be in sneakers for both of my feet the first or second week of April, 2015.
Thank you so much Dr. Rock!!!

DR. ROCK IS THE BEST DOCTOR I HAVE EVER BEEN TO. I have HORRIBLE feet and have suffered for years. He recently removed my Morton’s neuroma and bunion, (same foot, both at the same time). I was back in the gym 5 weeks post surgery. I shoveled snow and ice everyday in the winter, I drove (right foot). I never once cried from the surgery. He somehow operates causing NO PAIN! I am so lucky to have found this doctor! I had been to at least five other doctors and never felt right. If it happens that I need to have my other foot fixed, I will RUN to Dr. Rock!!!

I had bunion surgery the first time a while back, however the doctor did what is commonly in the medical world known as ‘bump and run’ so the problem was made worse. Basically the doctor needs to reset the bone, but instead of doing so this doctor shaved down the bone. Long story short, my first experience was extremely painful due to scar tissue build up, and I was forced to wear a cast for a month plus.
I was referred to Dr. Rock by my primary care physician who stated that Dr. Rock was also a personal friend. During my consultation Dr. Rock not only thoroughly explained my situation, but he also explained the implications regarding my insurance. How many doctors actually take the time to explain the out of pocket costs??? NONE … so for this reason alone I decided to give him a shot.
The surgery was night and day different from my first surgery. Recovery is extremely important to Dr. Rock, so all patients are required to walk out after the surgery is completed. It’s gonna be painful, but after being trapped in a cast for more than a month previously I totally understood why. There was no scare tissue and I was in sneakers in less than 2 weeks. No to mention I live in a 5 story walk up and I’m an athlete, so mobility is extremely important.
The bottom line is there are a lot of Podiatrists out there who will sell you a bag of rocks, so you have to know what questions to ask. I’m back in heels and back on the court after my surgeries, and I have no pain. To put things into perspective please note that I had bunions on BOTH FEET, and I don’t plan on slowing down any time soon.

Dr. Rock was the third surgeon I consulted for bunion and hammer-​toe surgery. My bunion was quite severe and bothered me most everyday. Buying shoes was becoming impossible At this writing I am just over two months post-​op and I am Thrilled at the result. I can’t stop looking at how beautiful my foot looks! Can’t wait to show it off in the summer!
I had always heard bunion surgery was excruciating, and a long recovery. My work requires long periods of standing. Dr. Rock was completely honest about what to expect in terms of recovery. I had No pain post-​op. Dr Rock sends his patients home with enough local anesthetic in the foot to get you through the first few days. I was housebound and off my foot for 72 hours, but able to be up long enough to get to the kitchen and bathroom, important since I live alone. I took Advil and never needed the stronger pain killer he prescribed just in case.
After that I wore my surgical shoe and was back at work in 10 days. It could have been much sooner if I had a desk job. After 5 days I went to a restaurant in my neighborhood and was even able to exercise. I used a stationary bike (with surgical shoe) and did upper body work. I wore the surgical shoe for about four weeks post-​op but I managed to get around in it and work without a problem.
Dr. Rock is one the most competent, kind and commutative doctors I have ever had. He is and was always available via text. His instructions post-​op are very specific, I think following them to the letter aided and speeded my recovery. I will have Dr. Rock do my other bunion on my left foot, (which is not nearly as bad as the one he just did) sometime this year. I am so grateful to have found him. After my first consult with Dr. Rock I immediately I scheduled surgery. he was recommended by my friends sister who had a great experience with him. The other two doctors I had seen seemed competent for sure, but a bit too «slick’”which made me uncomfortable. I waited over an hour for one of these well-​known podiatrist surgeons, and had to leave before I saw him. I was assured this was unusual and rescheduled only to wait another hour.

I don’t often take time to write reviews, but this foot surgeon is awesome. My bunion surgery and hammer toe surgery, done in a surgical center on 86^th & Fifth, were about as easy, quick and painless as it gets. He had the recovery steps down to a science, telling me when it might get uncomfortable and what to do about it. Dr. Rock is very professional, personable, and empathetic with great great bedside manner and over 20 years of experience And amazingly — he texts you after surgery to find out how things are going, and doesn’t stop caring until you’re healed. His office is really helpful in processing billing and insurance paperwork, so even that is seamless to the patient. When I went back with another foot injury that resulted in a strange collection of fluid on the top of my foot, he spent a lot of time diagnosing the issue and discussing treatment options. He actually takes the time to explain and eduate patients, which is unusual these days! Dr Rock is really a great medical professional!
