Dr. Rock Positano is a fantastic diagnostician. My wife first visited Dr. Positano 11 years ago when she was in terrible pain and misdiagnosed by a "local" podiatrist. Dr. Positano subsequently diagnosed her with a torn tendon and treated her successfully. In addition to my wife, he has since treated me with neuromas and done so successfully without surgery.
Going back to his ability to diagnose, recently (three weeks ago) I visited him with a swollen foot/ankle. He immediately arranged for an appointment at HSS for a Doppler ultrasound, which showed that I had blood clots in my lower calf area. This was not the first time he diagnosed me with other than a foot problem. Approximately 5-6 years ago, after examining my foot he determined there was a more serious problem and referred me to a spine specialist at HSS. I was then diagnosed and treated with a cyst on my spine.
Dr. Positano is a world-renowned podiatrist that has helped us immensely in getting us back to our active lives without pain. Both my wife and I highly recommend Dr. Positano. It is doctors like him that make HSS the great institution that it is.
