Foot, Ankle & Hand Center of Las Vegas

Cant really give a review of the Doctors, because I’ve called monday 9am, 10 am, 3pm, ive called tuesday 9am 10 am, 3pm ive called Wednesday same times also have sent emails to try an make an appointment, no one answers the phone you only get a stupid recording that repeats itself, no one has responded back to my emails this tells me don’t even try anymore the office staff must be ignorant and rude and incapable of multi tasking, this also tells me that they probably would double bill my insurance what a fuckin joke if i can give 0 stars i would

Dr. Bregman is amazing. I went to him for a second opinion and happy I did. He cut my down time by about 3 wks for bunion on surgery. He is fast and friendly and I am always seen on time. He has magical hands because I experienced almost to pain and a scar that is disappearing already. Thanks Dr. Bregman!!!

I called to buy a brace and Doug was more than helpful to point me in the cheapest direction and give me details on which one I needed. So thankful for people like him he even said if I needed more help to give him a call. He didn’t get my business but still helped me in the best way he could.

I saw Dr. Bregman recently for pain I’ve been experiencing between a couple of my toes.
After a couple x-​rays and a few minutes with his medical assistant, the doctor. came in. I literally got about a minute to a minute and a half with the doctor. He never went over my X-​rays with me, never offered thoughts as to what the problem is or how we would work to find a solution nor did he even diagnose the problem. He only rattled off a few various conditions of the foot and told me he’d fit me for orthotic inserts.
He then had his medical assistant tape up my foot which I had to take off first thing the next morning due to my skin being folded under the tape and it causing quite a bit of pain. I was billed $ 80 for this tape job. Yes, $ 80 to put some medical tape around the bottom of my foot that did absolutely nothing!
About a week after my visit, a TENS machine shows up at my doorstep from some company in Florida. After some phone calls, I find out Dr. Bregman’s office ordered it and had it sent to me. This is the same unit you can order off Amazon or pick up at any Asian pharmacy. It’s electro-​shock therapy that has no proven medical benefits and if you have never tried taping electrodes on the thin, bony skin of the top of your foot, I highly don’t recommend it! To add insult to injury, the place in Florida can offer no advice on use of the machine. A call to Dr Bregman’s medical assistant just got me «well, your insurance paid for it…». They couldn’t offer any advice on using the device either, only repeatedly mentioned that my insurance was paying for it. He said at best it was to offer temporary pain relief.
This isn’t real medical attention.
I’m now seeing another podiatrist that has taken the time to examine and diagnose my condition. Someone that meticulously went over my X-​rays with me.
Total waste of time and money to visit Dr. Bregman!

If you have a foot problem Dr. Bregman is by far the best you will find. This is my story. After 9 months of extreme pain from my left heel and treatment from: 5 specialists, 2 separate MRI, X– ray, orthotics, stem cell, acupuncture, 2 different physical therapy clinics, cam boot, but nothing worked. The Doctor found that the source of my pain was not from my Achilles as previously missed diagnosed. Dr. Bregman new immediately after (listening) and with a proper examination found that the location of the pain was not my Achilles. After a fast and painless injection he found the underlying cause of my pain was (nerve pain). The doctor moved quickly in then getting me a procedure that then burnt the nerves in my heel. The procedure took approximately a week to recover from, and showed improvement each day.
The results are life changing. I was only able to walk at 1.7 mph before my first injection into my heel. The pain was so intense I could not overcome any movement. After the injection I was able walk at 3.4 mph. After the procedure that burnt my nerves called (Radio Frequency Ablation). I am now running at 7mph to 8mph range 7min — 8min mile pace. I work for the government and my livelihood depends on my feet. I have to put my body through many different physical requirements, and having my foot back is essentially life changing. Dr. Bregman is one of the few doctors that understands, and has the skill sets to: listen to his patient, find a solution through medicine, and include your input to find the best treatment possible.

I was referred here due to being in an automobile accident. First, it took them over 3 hours for me to actually talk to the Dr and when I did it was about a 10min visit. That concluded with not really helping me out. With that experience I did not schedule a follow up appointment with them.
I kept in contact with their billing department every month because this was for an automobile accident and was waiting to work things out with insurance. They were the only medical place that would not work with me about this situation and sent me to collections adding on extra fees.
It’s already tough when you are in an accident but to have them not have any empathy from start to finish is not good service to me.
Update:
After writing this review, Dr Bergman reach out to find out about my experience. Though he is not the physician I saw at this clinic I appreciate his follow up to find out what had gone wrong. He was the only one during this whole experience to question the situation and for that I bumped up the review.

I started having severe pain in my ankles to the point it really really hurt when I walked. I went to see a local podiatrist, and several visits later and a couple shots of cortisone the pain had become much worse and I didn’t have much confidence in that particular doctor at all.
Through recommendations from friends I made an appointment with Dr. Peter Bregman. At my very first appointment with him, Dr. Bregman, with certainty and confidence, physically examined my ankles. He suspected that there were issues with the soft tissue and those suspicions were confirmed with MRI’s of both ankles. Severe destruction of the tendons and ligaments in both of my ankles equally. I was thrilled that Dr. Bregman had known immediately what the issue was before it was even confirmed. I immediately felt like he knew what he was doing. A welcome change from my previous experience.
Dr. Bregman’s approach for treatment was conservative in nature. I wanted to have both surgeries done at one time and get it over with but he informed me that that was not the best choice and he wouldn’t even consider doing both at once. He did surgery on each ankle separately to repair/​replace the tendons and ligaments including using an artificial ligament to augment the procedure. The surgeries were done three months apart followed by physical therapy. There were no complications with either surgery.
He is excellent at what he does and he was always available to communicate via phone or email. It has been 9 and 6 months respectively since my surgeries. The scars are extremely minimal, I can walk, use the stairs, and just recently ceased using any and all braces/​assistive devices. Running and dancing might still be a little ways off, but seeing as how it wasn’t that long ago that I could hardly walk… I am thrilled! The recovery has been a smooth one and I am so happy and blessed to finally have my mobility and independence back again! I highly recommend Dr. Peter Bregman for any foot/​ankle problems you may have!

I originally came to Dr Peter Bregman for a second opinion after I broke my foot, and quickly realized this was the place for me. Dr Bregman listened to my problem, saw that my foot wasn’t healing with the previous treatment and got everything on track. His care is excellent and staff is courteous and prompt. The customer service is second to none which means a great deal IMO!
Thanks Dr. Bregman and staff at Foot, Ankle and lower leg center for a great experience in a less than pleasant situation.

They are nice here. Dr. Ricardi is very informative and caring. He really touched base on a lot of different aspects of why I was feeling the way I did with my feet. And so far most of my family has now come to see him to make sure we don’t have other problems. Getting and appointment was very easy. They receptions are very caring as well. Thank you for all your help!

Hubby had two separate surgeries in 2011 called HyProCure, one in each foot and Dr. Tony preformed them.
See my husband suffers from flat feet and it’s not just shoe insert fixing flat feet, it’s REALLY flat feet. Well no more because Ricciardi has changed his life!
Because HyProCure helped his left foot he is good to go and has a perfectly formed arch now! But the bad news was the more severe right foot.
Throughout the years my interactions with Tony has been nothing but stellar. This man is cool, calm, collected, and has quiet the sense of humor. I just really like the guy. He is an amazing person.
A few months ago hubby started having pain and discomfort and he found that the dreaded arthritis could be starting in his right foot.
Fast forward to March 6^th and hubby had the following on his right foot, a four hour surgery:
–Evan Osteotomy with graft and fixation
–Dwyer Osteotomy calcaneus with fixation
–Cotton Osteotomy with graft and fixation
–Gastrocnemius recession with advancement posterior tibial tendon right foot
We are now over a month hump and he has had a splint, a cast, and now another cast, then he will have a boot and then on the third month he can start physical therapy to learn how to walk again! He is doing great!
We are blessed that Tony takes our insurance which is a PPO and also that his work is so wonderful that he can work from home for three months! He can go onsite occasionally but he is no weight baring so he has to be careful.
To sum it up Dr. Anthony Ricciardi improves lives everyday! He just can’t believe hubby had perfect balance and walking until the age of 40 when he reconstructed his right foot ;)

My daughter saw the Dr over three months ago for insoles for her feet. My wife has been calling the office for weeks only to hear delay after delay. Now today we learns the order was never placed. The service from his office is terrible. I suggest you consider another dr office unless you want he run around.
