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.

Felt disrespected and rushed.
First time visit, needed a podiatrist as mine retired. I need help with calluses and nail trimming, also have a bunion on small toe. Trimmed callous on bunion and was told to stop as it cause pain! Trimmed nails and caused pain! I was told I have to pay out of pocket for callous a nail trimming, as that’s not what they do. Was rushed and seemed irritated. Not going back.

Incredible doctor!
I have been a patient of Dr LaCivita for many years now. I receive the finest care from him that a person can get. Not only is he a remarkable doctor, he is also a terrific human being and generally cares about the well-being of his patients. His staff is also top-notch, friendly and professional. I have left reviews for BMG podiatry before, but wanted to leave an update to say that they represent the absolute gold standard in patient care. I couldn't recommend them highly enough and I'm very grateful to be one of his patients.

Compassionate, thorough doctor and staff.
I went to the doctor for the early onset of hammertoe. I was greeted by a caring receptionist and waited just a few minutes to be seen. Every staff member was kind, with even a trainee offering to hold my coat while I was weighed. The doctor came in after a short but complete intake from the nurse. Dr LaCivita explained everything in detail and my options. I was given a catalogue with a corrective cushion to try for my toe. This helped immensely but I did schedule a flexor tendinopathy to hopefully stop the progression of the hammertoe. The day of the surgery he asked how the cushion worked and I gave him my positive results. We both decided to wait. He assured me that “if conservative measures work, I will not do an unnecessary procedure “. I was so surprised and relieved with our decision. I have been running for years and I was quite concerned about the procedure on my future goals. He is my podiatrist for life! Thank you, Dr. LaCivita and staff!

Unhappy
It was not a good experience for me. The doctor explained things to me and I began crying. I knew that I wasn't going to get the help that I was looking for. He did not take the time to listen to me and I felt pushed to answer questions that took time to answer. I felt unimportant to him. I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and a retired nurse from the country. I wanted help with my feet to get my quality of my life back. Maybe I expected to much. This was my first visit. I believe that my anxiety level was high. I clam up when pushed. So it's partially me own fault.

Excellent podiatrist
After my former podiatrist retired, I am so glad I chose Dr. LaCivita. I experienced little wait time, efficient and pleasant staff. The doctor was very knowledgeable and helpful in treatment of my recurring plantar fasciitis. He was friendly, caring and listened providing opportunity to answer any questions.
