Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I work at Saint Vincents and have k own Dr Caycedo for many year. I have recently had some severe heel pain. On rounds I asked Dr Caycedo about my pain. Without hesitation he had an idea of what may be wrong. Within an hour and a half of our conversation I was walking out of his office in no pain. Dr Caycedo is so kind. He could have easily told me to call his office to set up an appointment but he told me to come over rite away and he would get me fixed up. He did as he said. He had to do an injection and let's just say what I thought was going to be very pain procedure was far from it. Thanks Dr Caycedo.

I was very impressed by the visit I had with Dr. Caycedo. He explained what was going on with my ankle in terms that I could understand. He also gave me a print out so that I could read in my spare time. This has helped me a lot with what’s going on with my ankle pain. The staff members in his office are so nice, very helpful and professional. Thanks for all you do and keep up the good work!!!

I became a patient of Dr. Caycedo’s when I broke my ankle in February. Dr. Caycedo and his staff - all are first class in all respects. They give you the best medical care. Fantastic skills diagnosing the issue and he's without a doubt a very skilled surgeon. Also, his bedside manner is excellent. I cannot thank Dr. Caycedo and his staff enough for their constant kindness, determination, and support during this trying time. Simply put, he's the only doctor I'd see for a foot or ankle problem.

Great surgeon,compassionate and trustable MD. I have known Dr Caycedo for years. As a physical therapist, I have had the opportunity to treat several of his post operative patients including my son's complicated ankle fracture. I have witnessed a successful outcome with his patients and most of them have been able to return to sports or prior activities without restrictions. I widely recommend Dr Caycedo for his knowledge, intelligence and capacity to help others.

I was very pleased with my treatment and surgery from Dr. Caycedo for a broken fibula. All his recovery estimates were spot on. He was very responsive when I had issues related to my surgery and recovery, and I never waited more than 10 minutes to see him. Best of all, I am pretty much at 100% again after only 3 months, exercising regularly and vigorously. I would definitely use Dr. Caycedo again for an injury - but I am hoping I never have to ;-)

Dr. Caycedo came to my rescue after an unexpected ankle fracture. This was my first major injury, but he put me at ease with his enthusiasm and optimism. He always made sure I understood necessary surgeries and therapies, and was happy to answer any questions I had. I do think the staff who fit you for a boot could do a better explanation of how to use it in different scenarios, such as stairs. Despite this, Dr. Caycedo has been a pleasure to work with throughout my recovery. Highly recommended!

A very caring surgeon, I was having extreme pain in arch and foot from a torn ligament. The surgery required was a very intense surgery with lengthy recovery. I have other medical conditions that would have impeded my ability to do the necessary post op rehab.He worked with me by ordering physical therapy, advice on shoes and orthotics and ordered a leg brace. Due to his care and compassion surgery was not required and I am able to walk without pain. The leg brace is now only used as needed.

Dr. Caycedo is an old hand, with 30 years of experience, he knows what he doing. He explained my problems and gave me two options with his recommendation, and then encouraged me to wait 1 day to make up my mind for how to fix a serious ankle break. I followed his advice, and after surgery my ankle is growing stronger with no complications.
