The bones in my foot curve terribly which was causing my toes to curve on top of each other. Dr. DiNucci straightened my toes and even made my long second toes shorter to look normal. No plates or screws. 6 to 8 week recovery… Dr. DiNucci is amazing. I went to him because 15 years ago he fixed my husband’s plantar fasciitis. He is amazing.

I recently had a non evasive bunion surgery. I had been in severe pain for about a year. I could not wear any shoes as the pain was severe. Dr. DiNucci performed this procedure on March 13th 2025 and 7 weeks later I am back to doing normal activities. He is what I would call a CLASS ACT. Friendly, always smiles, and will go out of his way to make sure proper care is given.

I had a fabulous experience with Dr. Bishop. I kept putting off getting help with a slightly ingrown toenail. He had an immediate solution. Because of his experience and technique, it was virtually pain free. I should have gone in sooner.

My wife had a bad ingrown toenail and our family doctor referred her to the Foot & Ankle Center. I accompanied her when she saw Dr. Kristina Jay. Dr. Jay was incredibly good. Professional, personable, articulate and supportive. She removed a portion of the nail and offered suggestions for future treatment and care. DR JAY IS AMAZING. My wife got her first good nights sleep in months and is walking comfortably again.

I am so grateful we found Dr. DiNucci. I had bunion surgery in November on one foot than the other foot in February. I was amazed there was very little pain afterwards and I could walk using a shoe boot out from the surgical center and all the days following. I took one pain pill after each surgery but can’t say that I really needed either one. I truly recommend Dr. DiNucci for bunion surgery.

I am needle phobic. I had an ingrown toenail on both sides of both big toes. Both toes were seriously inflamed. I went in to see Dr. Jay. I learned it would take 4 injections PER TOE for her to help me get relief. This was something I could not imagine doing. Somehow, before I left, Dr. Jay convinced me to schedule an appointment for one toe. I did. I came back for the second toe. She is kind, quick, and considerate. I know she understood my anxiety and somehow was able to put me at ease. I know she knew I could get through this. I so highly recommend her. I won’t be back for this issue but will certainly go in for any future podiatry needs!

Dr. Paul Bishop was awesome!
He’s a kind, caring doctor and helped my husband heal a big toe blister that has delayed his back surgery. Dr. Bishop is smart, very knowledgeable about wound care and the big bonus is his sense of humor and bedside manner! We highly recommend Dr. Paul Bishop at Foot and Ankle Center of AZ!!

I cannot brag about Dr. Dinucci enough.
Seriously he fixed my plantar fasciitis up so quickly. I walk in his office in pain and left with no pain… He had one of his people video him taping up my foot so I could do it myself until my orthotics come in… He wanted me to get these 2 years ago and I didn’t. He didn’t even give me grief, which I totally appreciated. He’s also super nice, office is clean, staff is very nice… I was referred by my primary doctor and I think she hit the nail on the head with this referral.
In August of 2024 I finally made the decision to address my hammer toe’s resulting from a previous injury back in 2018 on my left ankle. After receiving an ankle fusion my hammertoes developed and for 5 years I managed my pain myself instead of seeking a professional in the Foot and Ankle practice. My Orthopedic Doctor recommended seeing Dr. DiNucci 3 years prior to me accepting the fact the only way to address my pain was to make my appointment with the Foot and Ankle Center of AZ. The minute my x-rays were reviewed and I was told my toes can be straightened I immediately scheduled surgery. The process from the time I met Dr. DiNucci and his staff and the time I had my surgery at the Surgicenter at Pima Crossing including all my post follow up appointments every step of the way went without any issues. Special thanks go out to the staff from billing, appointments, the medical assistants and of course Dr. DiNucci for providing out of this world service. I’d like to recognize Keegan and Aubrey for their services at the office for providing me the care and information I needed to go on with having the procedure. It’s amazing how I am not thinking about my ankle or left toes anymore and can walk and get through the day without feeling any pain. Best Regards, Bill Smith

Foot I have had the best experiences here with both of the doctors and staff. I really want to think Keegan, Cami and Kerin, most helpful. First off I didn't even know that I had fractured my foot and Dr. Jay figured out what was going on with the pain, how did I fracture my foot is the question! My new appointment sent me to Dr. DiNUCCI, he assisted me by removing the ingrown toenails from both of my big toes, aargh! Everyone here has been wonderful, kind, very professional. I am blessed to have found them.


If you have foot & ankle issues you owe it to yourself to see the best doctor in Arizona and that would be Dr. Kris Di Nucci. He really cares for people, and it shows, an excellent surgeon and outstanding doctor I have ever known in my 75 years of life. His staff is also excellent and caring, especially his wonderful assistant. Kami, do yourself a favor if you need a wonderful doctor go see Dr. Di Nucci in Scottsdale, trust me, you wont be disappointed!
Thanks to Dr. DiNucci my feet do not hurt me and haven't for 15 years. Dr. DiNucci performed surgery on my feet back in 2008 and I'm so thankful for it. I went from barely being able to complete a 4 hour shift as a cashier when I was a teenager because my bunions had caused me so much pain. In the past 15 years I've worked long shifts as a nurse, became a mother to 4 children, and am currently training for a half marathon. I am still amazed that all these years later my feet don't cause me any issues and for that I'm grateful. Thank you so much Dr. DiNucci, those bunionectomies made a huge difference in my quality of life.
I have been too several podiatrists and unfortunately, the care from them ranged from very bad, very average to very sub-par. My ortho dr referred me to Dr. DiNucci and I must say that I have finally found my best podiatrist that I trust! Dr. DiNucci is extremely knowledgeable, and conservative, to avoid unneeded surgery. He has a great patient manner, doesn't rush you and easy to talk to re: my foot issues. Dr. DiNucci immediately knew what was wrong with my foot and referred me to an excellent PT. Dr. DiNucci immediately correctly diagnosed all of my foot issues where the prior three podiatrists couldn't (and one prior one wanted to do surgery!). Another one said stem cell is covered when it isn't: Dr. DiNucci is honest and trustworthy. If you are looking for a really great podiatrist, I highly recommend Dr. DiNucci! His orthotics aren't cheap but they are the best--I will be getting some of those in the near future, too. It's a great office with great, friendly, nice staff, too. Your feet will be in good hands with Dr. DiNucci!
I went to Dr DiNucci 3 weeks ago due to pain in my right instep . He ordered scans and xrays . At the follow up he was very thorough explaining my issues in addition to giving me a shot in my foot yesterday as arthritis most of the issue . Pain gone . Dr DiNucci has great bedside manner caring and explains all . Equally important his staff is great and provides quality service . I highly recommend this podiatrist !


I have been going to Dr. Di Nucci for over two years!
My regular podiatrist was on vacation recently and Dr. Di Nucci was one of 3 doctors recommended to me. I called and thankfully, I was able to be seen the same day. I was told the Dr.sees up to 60 patients a day. I thought if this is true, he must be good. My problem turned out to be minor. I waited a while but I thought that was because I called the same day.. I had the same experience as someone else who posted a review. I was put in a room and waited a very long time to see the Dr. I found him to be extremely friendly as was his assistant Elaine. I left the office satisfied and he told me to follow up with my regular podiatrist for another issue. I experienced horrible pain the same day I was treated. I called the office and they were able to get me in again right after July 4th. I am extremely grateful to the office staff for helping me in an emergency.
Dr Di Nucci is not only a great Podiatrist he a well educated Surgeon.
Dr Di Nucci told me exactly what I needed to hear, not necessarily what I wanted to hear....


Amazing bedside manner. Knowledgeable and gentle. Makes a painful experience of needles so much better than it could otherwise be. I would recommend him hands down without any hesitation!! I have used him for ingrown toenails, cortisone shots, orthotics and other foot issues.
Dr. DiNucci is an amazing doctor whom really works with you to solve your for problem. I first met him with my diabetic Dad whom had many feet problems. Dr. DiNucci was the first doctor to really look at his feet and solve his issues. He gave my dad back a lifeline and saved his foot from possible amputation. He was a natural choice for me and has been treating my plantar fasciitis for months. He is empathic but direct with what is needed. He has the latest techniques and technology. Highly recommend! And his staff is super friendly and helpful too!


Doctor DiNucci was professional, very thorough, and explained very thing he was doing. Also, he comes across as a very good person.
Was referred to Dr. Di Nucci due to the fact I was diagnosed with chronic plantar fasciitis. After reviewing my MRI, he recommended a Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). I did my research and found this to be an excellent choice of therapy. When I went back into his office, the staff was great! Yes, he was teaching during the process, but that didn't bother me at all. The more attention to fixing my pain the better! He was very thorough and explained things in common language. Some of the feedback I've seen here has called him arrogant, but I look at that as him being very knowledgeable in his field and knows what he's doing. If you want a top notch doctor, then you go see Dr. Di Nucci! You won't regret it! Five Stars all the way!!


A couple of months ago, I suddenly experienced "foot drop." It probably wasn't quite as sudden as it seemed, but it felt that way. I went to a spine and sports doc I had been to before and she was very concerned. I couldn't flex my right foot or lift my toes at all. For someone who tries to be at least somewhat athletic, this is a huge setback. I thought it might be a spinal nerve issue, hence the appointment with the first doc. She ordered 3 MRIs and found that it was a compressed nerve (peroneal) in the side of my knee that ran down into my foot. She referred me to Dr. DiNucci. He reviewed the MRI and concurred that it was a compressed nerve, but as a precaution sent me back to my spinal doc for an electric impulse test, which she had also recommended. (These are NOT pleasant). That confirmed the diagnosis for everyone. Dr. DiNucci scheduled me for nerve decompression surgery pretty quickly. It was a quick outpatient procedure at a surgical center. I had to wear a boot for a while, but otherwise, it was pretty simple. Less than 6 weeks after surgery, I was able to walk pretty normally again and I even started back to the gym. I thought it was going to take many, many months just to get where I am now -- right at 2 months post-op. I had my final follow up last week with Dr. DiNucci and he was at least as excited as I was about my progress. I've read some of the other less than flattering reviews, but that was not my experience at all. I found him to be considerate and concerned -- he IS a medical professional and his demeanor reflects that. I was confident I was in good hands, both from the recommendation from a doctor I trust very much and from my own personal interaction with Dr. D. As for the outcome, I couldn't be more pleased -- or relieved! I know google can be a friend or a foe, and I googled a LOT about this condition. I was really afraid that I would be one of those unlucky ones who never regained full use of their foot. I am, thankfully, on the other end of the spectrum. I'm not quite 100 percent yet, but I can see it from here. To have regained as much function as I have in only two months is way beyond what I could have hoped. I was quite correct to put myself in Dr. DiNucci's hands. He did as perfect a job as any surgeon can do and I am very grateful for that! Also, I have to give a shout-out to his staff -- everyone I dealt with was amazing! I hope I don't have to deal with anything like this again, but if I do, I know a great doctor!
Got just what I was looking for. A Dr that knows what he is doing. Bunion surgery went fantastic. So far with excellent results. None of the horror stories I have heard came true. Follow doctors orders and be prepared and you will be grateful. Thank you so much Dr Di Nucci. Thank you Cami and the rest of the wonderful staff.


I absolutely love this man and his office. I have seen him for an issue with my foot which he diagnosed and helped me cure within weeks that I had been dealing with for 18 months that other doctors could not figure out. But this is a minor point I am trying to make about Dr. Dinucci. My son just had reconstructive surgery of his ankle. This man is a gem. He was thorough, he was helpful, he was polite and he was confident. My son has 7 weeks of recovery left but he is in no pain and the swelling is done. Pam is a wonderful asset to this business as well. I would and have recommended this facility to many people. I cannot say enough positive things about my experiences with this office. From first appointment to surgery 10 days! That is huge since he was misdiagnosed and in a boot for 8 weeks prior. Thank you Dr. Dinucci!


This was my third surgery. I was in pain 24/ 7. My last surgeon gave up on me and I came to Dr. Dinucci and he told me acatually what was my problem. I needed to have my scar tissue removed and I have a problem with a ligiment. 
Dr. DiNucci recently surgically corrected my hammer toe. He was the third podiatrist I visited and the second surgeon over the past two years. Today, I had my six-week check-up and everything is doing fine and I no longer suffer constant pain in my toe. Everything went as Dr. DiNucci said it would and I couldn't be more pleased.. From my first visit, and then surgery followed by post surgery check-up appointments, everyone including nursing and administrative staff were professional, helpful and kind. Dr. DiNucci always spent appropriate time with me as well as did all of his staff.They were always patient answering my questions and addressing my concerns. While Dr. DiNucci was on vacation, I had an issue after hours and called their emergency number. Within two minutes, I was speaking with the other doctor who was caring and helpful, and he quickly solved my issue. I couldn't be more happy with my experience, only wishing that I would have found Dr. DiNucci sooner. I highly recommend this organization of qualified professionals.
I spent weeks looking for the right doctor/surgeon to perform a complicated surgery on my ankle involving the replacement of my cartilage. I decided on Dr. Dinucci and couldn't be happier with my decision. It has been a year since my surgery and I would say my ankle is 95% what it used to be. Do not hesitate in choosing Dr. Dinucci. He is very knowledgeable, experienced and has excellent bedside manner. His staff and office are all very nice as well.
