Absolutely THE BEST doctor and staff in California. Not only is everyone on staff professional, exremely knowledgeable and courteous, they go above and beyond to help make patients happy. Dr. Crismali repaired my ankle, had phenomenal post-op care, and I followed his directions regarding surgery recovery and I was up and around like I never had an injury in no time! Dr. Crismali is never rushed during visits and is very thorough with explanations regarding foot and ankle care. Exemplary!

What a great experience I had at Crismali Foot & Ankle. I was so nervous about getting an injection and it didn't even hurt. The staff was great from start to finish. They explained everything to me so I knew what to expect. Dr. Crismali is such a wonderful doctor. He took his time with me and answered every single one of my questions. My feet feel great now. I can't believe I waited to see a doctor because I was nervous. I would 100% refer everyone I know to him.

Great physician, very thorough on initial visit compared to 4 other podiatrists seen in one year. Proper diagnosis and resolution to problem that was resolved in 3 visits compared to other podiatrists seen. Wasted time and money with other podiatrists that were unable to diagnose problem correctly. Staff very helpful in answering additional questions after visit with physician. Would highly recommend physician to anyone with foot problems. Copay reasonable, however, additional costs for procedures and treatment collected at time of service based on what insurance will pay. Insurance pays their portion, patient responsible for remaining balance versus discounted amount set by insurance company.

Dr Crismali conducted a high risk surgery as an outpatient procedure which led to a 2 year recovery and associated corrective surgery by a licensed orthopedic surgeon. The recovery from corrective surgery was 2 months. This action led to a malpractice lawsuit that was awarded to patient (very difficult in California to win malpractice suits). If you need orthopedic surgery, do not use a podiatrist! They are not bound to same licensing requirements and are not M.D. surgeons. Otherwise, Dr. Crismali is great at lower-spectrum problems.
