Dr. Matthew Cerniglia – Doctor of Podiatric Medicine and Surgery

I’ve had «bad feet» my entire life. I’ve been in and out of podiatrists offices and physical therapy for longer than I care to remember. By age 15 I was tired of hearing «you have ankle pronation and flat feet but these inserts will help.» They never did. I gave up and my feet grew more and more painful every year. By age 20 I couldn’t stand or walk for more than 5 minuets without being in terrible pain. I decided to give it one more try not daring to hope… I found Dr. Creniglia’s number Nd made an appointment. The initial appointment went just as you’d expect it to– nice front end staff, X-​rays, paperwork… After the X-​rays I was nervous. Would he give me the same bs diagnosis I’ve heard my entire life?! Worse yet would he will me nothing could be done? Noticing my anxiety the office manager Alfredo Bedolla came in the room to chat and take my mind off of the impending disappointment I was preparing myself for. When the Doc finally came in he smiled and without preamble told me that I needed major surgery. My first thought «S***» second thought «wait what?!» third thought «well hell»… A lot went through my head in about 2.5 seconds lol. After we talked and went through everything that was wrong (with both feet) I was left with the dangerous almost foreign feeling of hope. Could I actually have a life with little to no pain? 4 years and 6 operations later I am fixed… I can walk, run, play with my son. I can do anything a normal 25 year old can do. I owe my quality of life to this man and his wonderful staff. It was a long hard journey but I wouldn’t trade a second of it. From the bottom of my heart thank you Doc (and Fredo).

This doctor basically crippled my wife for life. Three other doctors post-​surgery have confirmed his egotistical attitude regarding his abilities as a surgeon destroyed my wife’s quality of life. He is an uncaring human that purposes to be a Christian man. Not our experience. On a Thursday, he argued with my wife at her post-​surgical appointment when she stated she thought her foot was infected. His answer was, you have no infection; however, she is hospital by the weekend and spends 25 days due to infection. Hum… One doctor says he needs to go before State Medical Board for his foolish handling of the original surgery. Working on that now.

Came here for 2 ingrown toenails and Dr Matt is the bomb very nice and made me feel at home also helped me out with other issues I have going on. He’s the best. I would recommend anyone here with foot or ankle problems.

Awesome doctor.
I went in for my toenail and was given more than one option to treat. His office is clean, orderly, and nice. His office staff is wonderful, as well are his nurses. Griffin is my favorite nurse, he makes you feel comfortable and makes you laugh so you’re not as nervous about getting cut open on your toe!
He also did a surgery on my moms ankle and it is now better than ever.
