Przystawski Brian DPM

Went online via google and found Dr. P. Filled out an appointment request online and then left a voice mail message around lunch the next day. I received a call back that day. I Arrived early for my appointment with my prepared registration forms. I printed them off from their website. Looking around the wait room I was leary of the practice upon arrival. Cindy was polite and cordial at the front window. She never appeared to veer from her professional demeanor. Waiting a while in the waiting room. I sat there from 2:30 to 3:45. They were running about thirty minutes behind as my appointment was at 3:15. i don’t know if this is normal. The medical assistant/nurse Kathy escorted me to an exam room and went over a few things. She was nice and genuine. She left the room. Minutes later Dr. P. Came in the exam room. He was very pleasant. He made light conversation. I left there about 4:15. I really liked him and would highly recommend him and his practice. My toe nails are healthier and on their way to being better. Thanks Dr. P.

Second visit: consistently professional

Follow up visits: employees Cynthia and Kathy are friendly and great. It takes characters to work at a podiatrist. My toe nail area from the ingrown toe nail removal procedure got infected. Dr. Keeps saying I need sturdier and longer shoes. i don’t want to wear big shoes like a clown. lol. Cortisol injection for heel spur pain helped for about three days. had cortisol injection done again and pain subsided now for a while.

update: many many months later my toenail and toe where dr cut area to prevent future ingrown toe nail issues, finally not looking deformed. i couldn’t wear sandals because the toenail looked gross. he never got to complete the toe on the other foot. i doubt i go back for that. only if the toe nail becomes infected. the healing process on the one was painful and i was deformed for about a year. i miss seeing Kathy and Cynthia.

update: returned a year later for the other toenail to be done. Dr. P not available so they scheduled me with Dr. Vessel. i got same procedure done. but on other big toe. over all not near as difficult this time with the healing process. My secret for recovery: 1. don’t listen to Cathy, 2. leave original bandage on it at least three full days. 3. take bandage off after full third day and soak toe for 15 minutes in warm salt water. 4. then keep it dry and exposed for a week in a half. meaning when not wearing work shoe with a bandage on the toe, i would take bandage off and go bare feet around my house. 5. i waited a good week in a half before getting toe wet when showering. that helped with healing! i put a disposable vinyl glove over it before showering. keep it dry! 6. after that time period, after my shower i then would it rinse it off real good, pat dry, and then put soft bandage on it before putting sock on for work. BTW: doctor office recommended soaking in warm salt water if oozing. still healing over two weeks later. Cynthia no longer part of the team although Tammy is there now. Pleasant and clean atmosphere and office is at new location.

update: the toe nail area healed well although had a big bruise on the side of my toe from the procedure. The one i had done first, over a year ago, still radiates pain and discomfort from where dr P completed the procedure. dr vessel pricked toe with injections for numbing without lidocaine, which was painful although not for long. dr v reluctant on injection for my heel pain that returned. dr p has a good personality.

update: i experienced severe pain in foot, called office next day, they got me in the same day i called. after x-rays, dr p explained and taped up foot real tight.

Great staff, doctor takes time to explain and answer questions, provided options. Very good when you're dealing with pain and need care. Highly recommended.

Great foot DR very kind, considerate, helpful and knowledgeable.
