Dr. Robert A. Bondi DPM

Dr. Robert Bondi and team are top notch. I had toe surgery to fix a "crazy" toe last week and he did a tremendous job. My pain level was pretty much non-existent and I am back in the office today (with my foot up of course!). I would recommend Dr. Bondi and his team to anyone needing a great Podiatrist practice in the Midwest! Well done Dr. B!

We were able to get an appointment within a couple days which was great. Unfortunately we arrived at 2:15 p.m. and did not leave until about 3:50 p.m. We sat while other people went in and left before us. And I finally put us in a room We sat there so long that the lights went out because there was no movement. The entire time the staff never informed us until they the last couple of minutes that Dr Bondi had been caught up in surgery And there was no ETA that they could tell us. Was very disappointing because if we were told in the beginning that the doctor was running behind it would have been fine but nothing was said until we specifically asked the staff. I was kind of like they just forgot about us. Maybe it was just an off day but we went ahead and left and did not reschedule.

The only reason I'm giving two stars is because the staff there was kind and listened to me vent about my experience there. I went to see him because there was a tiny little piece of glass in the ball of my foot. I broke a wine glass and a tiny shard went into my foot. It's been hurting & driving me crazy. I couldn't reach it to get it out and so I had my husband try to pick it out with a needle. He wasn't able to get it.  He felt it with a needle but he wasn't able to get it out. So I figure a podiatrist would probably be able to help me. He was condescending from the get-go. He told me that he would NEVER try to pick any glass out with a needle. We'll shoot, I've been doing that my whole life. Stupid me!  I was just desperate to get this glass out of my foot. So anyway he begins to probe in there and he's very close but not quite on it. He's scraping and probing in there and I keep saying it's a little more to the left. And then he grabs a different tool and it was very very close. In fact it was touching the little piece of glass. I could feel right where the glass was and he was so so close to removing it. But he just kept saying no. I don't see anything. But it was so close. I felt like he was touching it but not digging quite deep enough to get it out.  He just kept saying "there's nothing in there" I don't feel anything. I kept saying yes there is! You're so close!. (And you have to remember that I am feeling pretty desperate at this point because it's been hurting me for several days.) And when someone is so close to removing that little piece of glass you keep encouraging them to PLEASE keep going. But he was talking condescending to me, being argumentative and contrary rather than helpful. He acted all put out and irritated at me. I could feel that there was conflict and it was stressful. I just didn't want him to give up so quickly because I felt like relief was just around the corner if he would slow down and really try to feel for it. Anyways, He stopped & I put my sock on. It was an awful experience & really weird & awkward. I was hoping that he would help me and he just didn't seem to want to help me and kept fighting me tooth and nail the whole time. It was very weird. I mean I think every human on earth knows when there's a little piece of glass in their foot. We're not idiots. You can tell if there's a a piece of glass in there. Even if it's a tiny piece, you can feel it every time your foot hits the ground. Apparently he couldn't find it. That's not really the point I suppose. I don't blame him for not finding it. He tried. It's just the way he treated me. The way he talked to me through the entire procedure. I could tell that he thought I was annoying and obnoxious. It is not bad behavior to be proactive about your health care. I took time off of work and made an appointment to come here. I desperately needed his help.  He just seemed to give up too quickly and indicated that I must be imagining things. I'm not. And at the end he just got up and walked out and didn't say goodbye or didn't say "check back in a week"  or anything at all. He just bolted out of there in a huff. So I sat there wondering if I'm supposed to wait for him to come back, or do I just leave now? He just left angrily and I felt freaking awful. It was unnecessary conflict. If he would have been comforting & friendly & warm about it everything would have went differently. But he treated me badly from the get-go. Condescending from the get go.  From the very beginning he was kind of argumentative about it. It's hard to describe how it was but it just felt like he wasn't on my side. Like he was against me. Going to doctors is challenging quite often. I've had doctors be condescending or rude or short with me before. But this time I am just not going to take it. I don't like how he treated me. I don't like how he got up and just left me there I don't like how he talked down to me like I was an idiot. He handled the whole appointment badly. I should not leave a doctors appt feeling anxious & ashamed. It was awful. Waste of time.
