Went to his office in late 2019 to have a small callous on my foot removed. I asked for a conical excission, which means for it to be cut out with a tiny blade, cutting a tiny hole in the shape of a cone. This is how it was treated by another doctor a dozen years ago when this happened once before and didn't re-occur. The doctor came in, complained about a prior patient to me, then looked at my foot, shaved off the callous with a hand-held shaver, despite my request for an excission. He said the callous shouldn't return. 3 weeks later, the callous returned, of course. After my visit, I asked the doctor about a little mole on my skin, and he said it's fine. He lifted his shirt to show me a mole beneath his own chest, saying that like mine, it's no problem. This is all very unprofessional.Then billing unprofessionalism ensued. The billing lady billed my insurance 3x, including 2 duplicates. This caused much delay and confusion. She billed $175 to my insurer. When they denied the claim, she then billed me $125 instead, as promised when I asked about the fee prior to my visit. But why charge my insurer more?Then, when I complained about all this, the billing lady said she had nothing to say in response because she wasn't in the room when I was treated by the doctor! I said I would write this all up in a review online, and she said she's considering that a threat and bullying!And there you have, the office of Jeffrey Falcone, podiatrist.
