Astoria Foot Care Group P C

Dr. Mermelstein and Dr. Kim are GREAT. Surprised to see the negative review — they’re both patient, personable, and professional, and only recommend surgeries /​treatments when absolutely necessary. Office is clean and very convenient to travel to… I’ve referred friends and family here and they’ve all loved AFCG. Highly recommend!

I would not recommend this practice. Dr. Merlemstein recommended unnecessary surgery, butchering my entire foot and presenting this as being beneficial in the long term. The result of the surgery performed by both him and Dr. Kim was poor. I still have aches and pains. Dr. Kim presents as more thorough and caring however his recommendation for additional surgeries to fix the initial problem was once again, in poor taste. In addition, the recommendations were in error and it became evident that his skill level is not what I initially thought. His confidence does not match his capability with surgery.
I believe the availability of an appointment and short wait speaks for itself. This office does not generate traffic and there are several reasons for this. I have not and would not recommend this practice to a family member or friend.

In and out in 40 minutes!!! I came in with a sprained ankle and Georgia took care of me!

Mermelstein rocks. You have a foot problem? Then go here and see him, he’s awesome. I don’t need to go into the details of my injury etc, suffice it to say that I’m a tennis player and was freaking out thinking I would never walk/​run normally again– he calmed me down, assesed the situation and helped to fix it. Also took care of other aches and pains I’ve been dealing with for years. I don’t do reviews often but thought this was worth my time and hopefully it will help someone to find relief for their foot problems.

What a doctor! I saw Dr. Mermelstein last week regarding a foot pain I’ve been living with for months. I thought the pain was just part of life. He treated me that day, and by the time I came in for a followup, I didn’t have any pain whatsoever. You never realize how horrible walking with constant pain is until you’re cured!

Steven Mermelstein was recommended to me by a friend quite a while ago. It wasn’t til today I found my way over there with a foot in crisis and they gave me an appointment almost immediately (on a Saturday). I saw Eugene Kim. What a delight. He explained everything clear as can be and stabilized my condition so I am no longer in pain. I feel absolutely confident going forward in the treatment,
