Edward Mostone

I saw Dr. Mostone numerous times after a car accident. He treated me successfully for multiple issues with the injured foot. Dr. Mostone is relaxed and kind, as everyone says. I’ve recommended him to everyone I know who needs foot care.

I’ve seen Dr. Mostone twice. Once as a teenager and a few times recently as an adult to have two ingrown toenails fixed. He is patient, kind and explains the procedures as to ensure you understand what is taking place. Additionally, he has a wonderful bedside manner. I would highly recommend him.

He’s a nice enough guy, but I won’t be going back to see him. I got some imaging of my foot done and no one ever had the decency to call me with the results. I had to call the office multiple times just to leave a message asking if everything looked ok or if I needed a follow-​up appointment. I also mentioned that my foot symptoms were still present. Even if the results were normal, it wouldn’t take much effort for Dr Mostone or one of his secretaries to call me back and say everything is good, then decide where to go from there. I’m starting to think he’s just another money hungry doc who won’t put any extra effort into tasks that don’t create revenue.

I don’t want to be a Unilocaler who only posts bad reviews! So here goes another of my 5 stars reviews…
I went to a podiatrist in Harvard Sq. many years ago, but I believe he retired. Dr. Mostrone knew him too! I’m so glad I found Dr. Mostrone. He’s thorough, friendly and attentive to your needs!
Chronic ingrown toenails are less chronic with Dr. Mostrone and no need to worry about pain!

This review is long overdue. I went to Dr. Mostone for some chronic foot issues about a year ago, and he helped me with the long process of treating symptoms while trying to figure out what the heck was going on with my foot.
Throughout the process, we talked in depth about my options for treatment and what to do going forward. Five stars on bedside manner alone.

After going to my primary and really getting nowhere with them (I actually googled my own symptoms after being diagnosed with something that wasn’t even close to the area I was complaining about) I was referred to this doctor, diagnosed with a neuroma in my right foot (too many high heeled nights in black cocktail dresses), confirmed with MRI while being treated and follow-​up is consistent. In and out quick (busy girl) and his bedside manner rocks! Appointments are easy to make, receptionist has a nice singing voice. Great place. :)

Very nice guy, but unless you’ve got something pretty simple, you should consider going to another podiatrist. Just seemed like he was over his head — didn’t offer up any suggestions, just that I should come back after I got myself some orthotics (never suggested where I might go to get them though).
Mostone gave me the orthotics prescription because his office doesn’t offer that service — kind of disappointing since I went to him with an orthotics prescription to begin with (his receptionist never mentioned this when I made the appointment).

Dr Mostone is kind and conversational. However, I was not helped by his treatment.
In my experience, my appointments took less than ten minutes. He rushed me in and out, with out sitting down to actually hear my concerns and answer my questions. At each appointment I felt like I had to spit my questions out before he literally walked out of the room while I was talking to him.
During my first visit, he got out a shot and administered it into my foot with out explaining it’s benefits, side effects, or if I could walk immediately after (I had to go to work on my feet right after the appointment). Nor did he «ask my permission» before administering it.
The shot did absolutely nothing for my plantar fasciatis, and neither did the boot he gave to me to wear at night. When I returned to him about a month later the plantar fasciatis had also spread to my second foot. He promptly gave me another shot in one foot, and completely disregarded the other foot until I reminded him that I now had it in both feet.
I do appreciate that the office is able to get you in one day after you call, but that same efficiency doesn’t make for very good healthcare once you get to the appointment.

I had two surgeries with Doctor Mostone and I have been very satisfied with the results. He a great doctor; very patient, calm and dedicated to his patients. I am very happy that I found him and I will definitely refer him to others.

I never thought I’d be writing a review for a foot doctor. I have a history of very painful ingrown toenails. If you’ve had them, you understand how painful these are as well as the natural tendency to not see someone about it, hoping they just go away. After agonizing silently (and not so silently) for months, I checked out Unilocal for a recommendation, only to find raving reviews for Dr. Mostone. He was (as stated by other Unilocalers) one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. I went from being a first time visitor, to a pain-​free patient in under an hour. He did a simple procedure (which he explained to me in detail prior, during, and after) that will keep the painful growth from ever happening again. I was as impressed with his «bedside manor» as I was with his skill, and I will never go to another foot doctor again. Simply put, the most efficient, pleasant, and satisfying experience I’ve ever had visiting any doctor. Also, a little known fact — he’s the foot doctor to the stars! Ask him to tell you the stories… Now excuse me while I send him an invitation to Thanksgiving dinner.
One additional note — One review says he does not take credit cards. They do take them now.

These reviews don’t lie. Dr. Mostone is the nicest individual anyone could hope to encounter — kind, friendly, cheerful, and genuine.
The bright spot in your day would make it worth seeing him. It’s an extra bonus that he’s extremely good at what he does.

Dr. Mostone treated me for an ingrown toe nail. After reading a few reviews and calling a few places, I decided on him, partially because I was able to call and talk to the receptionist without waiting or listening to some automated system.
Before I was finished filling out the paperwork, he came out and met me and treated me. Being afraid of needles, he calmed my nerves by asking questions and gave the shots in a painless way, which I was grateful for. The procedure took relatively little time and he had me out of there, from the time I entered the office, to the time I left with out my ingrown toenail, in less than half an hour total.
Having a health insurance that doesn’t cover this sort of procedure, his prices were VERY reasonable. I could not believe I was so lucky to find such a wonderful doctor. If you have a foot problem, I highly recommend you choose him! He and his receptionists are wonderful!

Efficient and friendly! I was expecting a consultation visit, then the actual fixing of my foot. Dr. Mostone was instead proactive and got everything fixed my first time over! He is super nice and will answer any questions you have. He talked me through the procedure and did everything with no pain!
I highly recommend him.

He’s the best doctor I’ve ever seen. Ever.
He cares about patients, it’s easy to get an appointment with him, and he genuinely wants to help and figure out what’s wrong with you, all while making pleasant conversation.
I kind of wish he was my everything doctor.

Went here yesterday after my foot appointment at Harvard Vanguard went south and all you Unilocalers gave him so many stars. I can see why.
I got there about 5 minutes early, filled out my new patient paperwork, and he actually came out and saw me BEFORE his receptionist took my paperwork. Like, he actually wanted to be a helpful doctor, instead of some «oh, it’s YOUR turn» guy. I am big on healthcare, I idolize doctors, and I hate the way the system churns people through with little regard to their thoughts on the matter.
Mostone is different, and you can tell. He chatted me up a bit before he went feeling around my feet, and immediately told me what he thought my problem was. Prod a little more, he affirms, gives me some advice, pills, and things for my shoes, and then tells me he’ll see me in two weeks.
I’m a couple of days deep and I can tell the difference, even if the pain isn’t completely gone. Hopefully it will be in another week or so, so I can avoid getting that x-​ray he wanted me to do… sigh. PPOs.
I highly recommend this fellow, he has a great bed-​side manner (haha. you’re not dying. Come on people. It’s your feet)

When I sprained my foot badly back in March, I was lucky to see Dr. Mostone. It wasn’t at this location — it was actually at Tufts where he goes once a month. He was one of the best doctors I’ve ever dealt with. Very very nice, and he even recommended a primary care physician for me!

Dr. Mostone is the BEST. I wish all my doctors could be so personable, caring, knowledgableand just downright nice.
I just sent a friend to him and she was equally thrilled.
We love you Dr. Mostone

Dr. Mostone is the first podiatrist I ever visited and is probably one of the best doctors I have seen. He was so helpful, so knowledgeable, funny, and generally just a really great doctor. He diagnosed my issue right away, made sure I didn’t have to pay a dime for my 3 prescriptions or my air cast. He laid out a game plan for me over the next week and answered all of my questions.
The one negative I noticed is that the office doesn’t take credit cards, so make sure you have cash or checks for your copay. Also, there is only meter parking available, so bring quarters. The location is super convenient, though.
I highly recommend Dr. Mostone to anyone.

Dr. Mostone is probably one of the BEST, if not the best podiatrist in Massachusetts. He is very knowledgeable and cares about his patients. The staff is also very nice and helpful as well. He has multiple locations including Cambridge and Medford, which makes it very convinient. I would definately recommend him to anybody!!!

So, I had an ingrown toenail I needed to have removed, and after being told I had to wait a week to get in at Boston Common Podiatry (I was trying to go there since Unilocalers gave such good reviews), I ended up seeking another podiatrist to speed up the process. I was trying to go for one that had been reviewed before, but I decided to call around. and I ended up getting right in here because someone had cancelled that afternoon.
Anyway, I had a previous horror story of going to an urgent care unit at a hospital where I had the most excrutiatingly painful procedure done for an ingrown toenail a year ago. Not only was the operation over the top painful and I screamed my head off, they also wrapped my entire foot up and then put it in a sneaker cast thing, and well. I’m a dancer so — a. it looked really stupid to have to walk around with a cast like that and then explain it was all from an ingrown toenail, and b. i couldn’t dance for about 2 weeks after or something ridiculous like that. Anyway, I had been to a podiatrist for the same thing once a few years back and it had been fine, so that’s why I had been so pursuant of getting into a podiatrist’s office.
Dr. Mostone was very friendly and asked me all kinds of questions about myself. I think he was just trying to get to know me. He was kind of funny also. He realized I was concerned about having the ingrown toenail taken out, and he started drawing me a picture of how the nail grows, that sort of thing, and he answered all of my questions, so it was good — he seemed really confident about everything. He gave me a magazine to read while we were waiting for the numbing stuff to work, and then he put up a curtain between us and went to work — he talked my ear off the whole time and it distracted me from whatever was going on. He bandaged me up well after and put on a cream, and gave me some supplies to take with me to take care of it. And he said I can even take showers/​baths and dance in a few days and just take care of it while it heals. phew!!!
All in all, if you’re looking for a podiatrist, I’d say this guy is where it’s at. And he is in a pretty convenient location if you ask me, right in Central Square — you can park or take the T there.
