Michetti Michael L Dr

Very satisfactory treatments. Clean efficient patient rooms and offices. Good staff.

Been going to Dr. Michetti for at least 10 years. He was the only one to diagnose my Morton’s Neuroma after seeing 2 other podiatrists, and 2 orthopedists. Surgery was a success and I’m pain free!

I went to Dr. Michetti on the recommendation of a coworker, who somehow had a good experience with him. It was my first time going to a podiatrist; I had plantar fascitis in my left foot.
I’m not a squeaky wheel or hyper critical; I know doctors are busy. I know they spent a lot of money going to med school and deserve to make a comfortable living. But after several visits, it was crystal clear to me that this practice is just about making money and patients are just widgets on an assemblyline.
They overbook, you sit in a waiting room, they eventually put you in a room where you wait for the doctor, and Dr. Michetti flies in and spends 10 minutes max with you. Some visits, it was literally 5 minutes. It was always, «come back for a recheck in two weeks.» It became very clear to me that billing my insurance company was the top priority.
One time, they lost my foot scans (for custom orthotics), and I had to come back to get them done again. Even though it was their mistake, they charged me another copayment and billed my insurance co. When I came to pick up the orthotics, it was another copayment, another office visit billed to my insurance co. That office visit consisted of a few minutes during which Dr. Michetti said this is the left one, this is the right one, here’s how they go into the shoe. Um, yeah, a 5-​year-​old child could have figured that out with no problem and without the need to have the doctor tell him just so he could charge for an office visit.
I’ve never written a bad review for any doctor or other professional, but I feel that people should be aware of this before visiting this practice. I still feel guilty about all those charges to my insurance company. My and my coworkers’ health insurance premiums keep rising, and I feel I helped cause this by letting this practice string me along. What could have been done in 2 visits was stretched out to 6 or 7. I’m still mad at myself for not saying something directly to Dr. Michetti or making a formal complaint.
