Kierstein Robert B DPM

He’s very patient, explains things, and the staff is very friendly (and got me in for a same-​day new patient appointment). I saw him for a permanent fix of an ingrown toenail. I’ve had this procedure before. He was great with a giant 6’4″ guy who pales at the sight of needles. He held ice on my toe for 2 minutes at each injection site and darn if I didn’t even feel the needle, ever. Had to ask when he was going to inject the lidocaine and he responded «I’ve had a needle in your toe for the last two minutes» — news to me! He didn’t use liquid nitrogen, which I can really feel the needle when it is inserted. I can bet he’d be great for kids too. Great for a 30yo who acts like a kid around needles.
He made sure I was comfortable at every step, and explained what he was doing as he went along (I refused to watch the procedure so he put up a screen). Took 20 minutes to get numb and 5 minutes later my toe was wrapped and I was headed home with a follow-​up appointment scheduled.
I’ll be going to Dr. Kierstein for any foot related issues until he retires. Can’t possibly recommend him enough.

Dr Kierstein and his staff are the best. Everyone remembered me and called me by name after my very first appointment. I never has to wait more than 5 minutes, which is unheard of in most medical offices and my feet feel fantastic. Another bonus is they do x-​rays right in the office so no extra trips and you get your results right away.
I had bunion surgery on both feet and have had no pain since finishing my recovery. I know 10+ people who have had surgery on their bunions and they’ve all gone through long, painful recoveries using crutches and those carts you kneel on for several weeks. Not me. I walked with my boot out to the car after surgery and after very minimal pain and about a week staying off the foot as much as possible, I was able to get around just fine until the boot came off.
I can’t thank Dr Kierstein enough for giving me back pain free feet. I recommend him to everyone!

Dr. Kierstein is fantastic. I went to him once last year, and I just took my teen daughter to him last week. In both cases, he was wonderful, quickly diagnosing our situations and patiently explaining them to us. In my case, it was chilblains, and in my daughter’s case, a «tailor’s bunion» or bunionette. For my daughter, he even brought out a book and a model of the foot to show her what’s been going on and help her to understand how to fit her shoes better, etc. Really great. Added bonus: he’s a delightful human being to spend time with!
Cannot recommend him highly enough.

I went to Dr. Kierstein because my toenail became detached from my big toe, and I wasn’t sure how best to treat it. They have early morning hours, and got me an appointment the next morning before I went to work, which was really nice. The doctor was great; a really nice guy. I’d recommend him to anyone who needs a podiatrist.

I came to Dr. Kierstein with a long list of foot related issues. He was patient, attentive, and caring. He heard me out, did some diagnostic tests, watched me walk, and took x-​rays. He gave me great advice and eased my worries. I highly recommend him.
