See what our patients say…
Dr DiNucci was recommended by a close friend. I made the appointment and found out I needed surgery. Everything went well, and the entire experience was positive with Dr DiNucci and his staff. I highly recommend going to him for any foot problems.
Dr. Kris A. DiNucci is a top-notch surgeon. My Chevron Bunionectomy went perfectly, and the pain was minimal. He made sure I understood every step of the process. I’m so pleased with the results!
I’ve been a long standing patient of Dr. DiNiucci’s and can’t thank him enough for the surgery success related to plantar fasciitis, to bunion surgery. Dr. DiNucci takes the time to understand your concerns, and explains everything to make you comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. DiNucci for any foot and ankle issues.
I had gone to 3 different doctors for resolution of my issue. None of them would even consider removing the bone causing me so much pain and damage to my tendon. The staff is friendly, attentive, and the office runs so efficiently. I am grateful that I came across him when I went for a MRI at the center next door
