NYC Podiatry Center of Excellence

Dr. Tabari is an absolute life saver.
I was due to travel abroad with my family, and two days before my trip I experienced severe pain in my left foot. I close friend recommended me to Dr. Tabari and when I called for an appointment, the secretary let me know that he was able to see me the same day. His office is not only beautiful, but clean. The secretary was extremely kind and caring and helped me with my insurance paperwork.
I was seen within twenty minutes of my arrival. Not only did Dr. Tabari heal my foot pain the a mere day before my trip (absolute lifesaver!), but he patiently and politely answered all the questions I had regarding my feet and my overall health in general.
Upon my follow up visit, I also elected to get Orthitics from him. I walk ALL DAY and these orthotics make my typical day so much more comfortable and enjoyable.
I am a TOUGH critic, ESPECIALLY when it comes to healthcare, and I must say that my overall experience with Dr. Tabari was truly a pleasant one.

This practice does not even deserve one star. Upon arrival the receptionist barely even lifted her head to greet me. She could care less. Dr Tabari’s office is very old and dirty. The exam room had open garbage bins with exposed used needles!!!
We made an appointment for our toddler son and we waited over an hour. Then receptionist told us to wait in one of the exam rooms where we waited another 10 minutes before losing our patience and getting completely grossed out at the filthy exam room. There was an open garbage can with used needles in plain reach of my son and dead skin all over the floor. The doctor never came out to see us and no one even apologized for making us wait so long. We ended up just walking out!!!
I’m sure there are plenty of other podiatrists that care about their patients and have better customer relations. This place does not deserve the business. Go elsewhere!

I wouldn’t recommend going here. I felt pain in my ankle while doing yoga and didn’t want to ignore it so I went to see Dr. Tabari. My first visit I waited for over an hour and due to lack of seating was standing the last 20 mins of my wait.. . probably the last place you should have to stand while waiting is a podiatrist. Once in the room Tabari failed to introduce himself and went straight for an X-​ray and immediately made me feel uncomfortable. He told me I had arthritis in my feet and gave me a prescription for expensive medication that even with the coupon he provided was over $ 100 with insurance. I also got an MRI and when I went to get the results he not only was late (booked first appointment to avoid an hour wait and he arrived 30 minutes late like it was just another day) told me I had fractured my ankle and my options were surgery, a cast or removable brace with psychical therapy. Once I went to physical therapy they noticed I wasn’t experiencing any issues and wasn’t in pain and suggested I get a second opinion. I called an orthopedic surgeon and got an appointment in. By the time I had the appointment I had worn the boot for four weeks in addition to physical therapy. It made living in New York incredibly hard to live in and hard to get anything done since I was told to stay off my foot. I brought all of my records including Tabari’s notes and the orthopedic surgeon said where my fracture was that the bone had already healed itself but where it was located bone would never grow and that the boot was useless to wear, she also looked at my scans and said there was no sign of arthritis. So I took medication I didn’t need, lost work I could have done not in the boot and wear a boot for over a month. Do not go to him, he does not know what he is doing and does not care about your health or well being.
