Cooper City Podiatrist: Stephen M. Sinkoe DPM

After much research I found Dr Sinkoe, and from the very first visit I knew he would be the podiatrist for me. He has performed bunioneictomies on both my feet and the result has been excellent. Barely a scare and recovery was quick and painless. I love his bedside manner and how clearly he explains procedures and what to expect. I highly recommend Dr. Stephen Sinkoe, he’s truly amazing.

I went there with a glass cut and was sent home untreated. My wife went twice and was sent home without much of a treatment. Nice doctor. But not much of medical help.

Dr Roger is an excellent doctor, very knowledgeable and a people person but one of his staff Janelle is vey condescending, dismissive and confrontational. I do not appreciate being talked down to when I’m the patient paying for their service. She can definitely benefit from retraining in customer service.

I rolled into Dr. Stephen Sinkoe’s office yesterday on a knee scooter because the pain in my left foot was unbearable. I expected him to tell me the bad news that I ruptured or tore my Achilles. He quickly diagnosed my foot issue as not involving anything to do with a tendon tear and he gave me a shot to alleviate the pain-I walked out of his office without needing the use of my knee scooter and am now I’m pain free! He prescribed me medication so this does not happen again. Before I left his office, he made sure I had a full understanding of the cause of my pain and the treatment plan. He is the best foot doctor! I highly recommend Dr. Stephen Sinkoe.

I have to say the staffing is nice but not truthful. I came into the office the office for a pain on my foot and they told me that I should get an Xray done to see if anything was broken. Thankfully nothing was broken but I still was feeling some sort of pain in a muscle in my foot. He prescribed some medication and told me that they recommend a cortisone shot to help the process along. I was told it cost $25 so I said sure it's only $25. What they failed to tell me the cost was for the medicine not for someone to administer the medication. That cost me $175 for them to administer the the medication. Safe to say I will not be returning to place that practices medical malpractice.

I went to Dr Sinkoe for planters fasciitis in May I had a shot of cortisone and he measured my feet, saying I needed to get special ortho inserts to the tune of $400 that he had made. I had several visits to see him in between then and June. It’s July now I called the office because I am still in pain and they informed me he is no longer taking Medicare very disappointed in the entire outcome.

I hate leaving negative reviews but in this case I feel compelled to.

His erroneous diagnosis and treatment recommendation caused the pain on my foot much worse. Had he been able to read an MRI, the actual images and not the radiologist's report, he would have known that his "diagnosis" was complete wrong, and that his recommendation would have made it much worse, not only for the foot that already had pain, but for the other foot which didn't have pain as well.

He referred me to another MRI place, whose diagnosis he absolutely trusted, and still refused to read the MRI images that I already had. It was pretty clear that he was unable to.

I eventually went to a sports medicine doctor who was willing, able, and ready to read the MRI images rather than the radiologist's report. He was able to diagnose the problem right away.

Physical therapy, at this point, has proven to be futile. It might never have been able to help the one foot that already had pain to begin with but before I took up dr. Sinkoe's recommendation the pain was manageable to the point that I could still run or hike. Now? I will need 2 surgeries and 3 months of recovery after each surgery.

Moral of the story? Don't go to doctors who can't independently diagnose your problem even with the help of modern technology.

Dr. Sinkoe is very knowledgeable podiatrist. He is a practical doctor. I had a callous with severe pain in my foot. His treatment healed my foot completely in three visits. He is a professional with the ability to make you feel at ease right from the moment he interacts with you.

Very nice office and Covid-19 considerate. The receptionist, the medical assistant and Dr. Sinkoe are fabulous. Very friendly and most importantly, my foot issue was taken care of immediately and, for the most part, painlessly. I would recommend this doctor to anyone having issues with their feet!

I have never done a review before. However, I feel it to be warranted after the experience I had with staff and Dr. Sinkoe on 2/8/20. I called the office early Saturday morning asking if I could be seen as a new patient. The staff, although they had a full schedule manage to squeeze me in. A routine examination was performed and the decision was made to treat my ongoing issue. The physician explained in detail his plan and I was in agreement. I cannot express my happiness and satisfaction enough! Thank you again to the staff and Dr. Sinkoe!
