I had toenail fungus for many years and saw Dr. Lentini one year ago this month. I had the laser treatment done, it was quick and I am so pleased with the results. My nails look great. The office staff is so friendly and helpful. I would recommend Dr. Lentini and the laser treatment.

I came to see Dr. Lentini with foot pain after 32 years of teaching and being on my feet all day. Dr. Lentini spent a lot of time listening to me, he explained what my options were and helped me decide the best course of action. He also told me that surgery would not help me - I truly appreciated his honesty. I find him very professional and personable. As an aside, his receptionist is very friendly and accommodating as well. Hard to believe the negative comments listed here...

He is petty and unprofessional. I was getting out of my car today at 3:45 pm for my 3:45 pm appointment and I noticed my cell phone ringing. When I answered, his receptionist said "So, you decided not show up for your appointment?" When I went in 1 minute later, he was standing there at the front desk smirking. I let him know I did not appreciate the rude call when I was on time. He smugly replied that she called at EXACTLY 3:45 and I was not yet in the office.

Dr. Lentini is very professional and personable. I had an extremely bad case of toenail fungus which he treated and cured quickly without any problem or fuss. I'm sorry I waited so long for help.

Terrible experience ever with a doctor. Thought I had a stress fracture. Diagnosed my foot problem in 5 minutes as degenerative bone disease without looking at an x-ray. $500 for inserts. Ordered wrong inserts after taking a casting. A month later, on my last visit to pick up the inserts, he finally looked at my x-ray and told me there was no degeneration and the foot was fine. I threw out the inserts and everything got better. I was scammed.

If I could post a photo of what he did to me I would. I went with a bunion and the result is a bunion twice as large and a terrible scar and after almost 5 years I can't where shoes that touch it. He made fun of me and would not restitch my incision when the stitches broke. And he's rude

He is the worst doctor I have ever been to. He was suppose to correct a hammertoe and straighten two other toes. Now I have the same crooked toes and they are numb. I went to an Orthopedist (where I should have gone in the first place) and he said he thinks that Lentini cut a tendon. When I told him about this and couldn't get my foot into a shoe, he yelled at me and said I was being a baby. Stay away from him and instead go to a well respected Podiatrist or Orthopedist.

Dr Lentini performed surgery on both my feet a few years ago and the positive results have remained over the test of time. I had painful bunions, now I have pretty feet that don't hurt. He has also made inserts for me which corrected a long standing knee problem.
