"Dr Tek is one of a kind when it comes to being an elite podiatrist. He takes the time to tell you straight what issues are going on with your feet and supports his findings with conditions, x rays, and photos to pinpoint where the problems lie. He saved my right foot by removing a bone to alleviate a foot ulcer, and has done the same on the left as well. Dr. Tek will provide instructions in order to maintain consistency and safety, and is a consummate professional while being as close to a miracle worker as podiatrists come. Cannot thank you enough."

"Super nice guy and the office staff were friendly as well, but I'm a little disappointed that he was not thorough. He did an xray, said no fracture and informed me it was a tear instead, and told me it would heal in 6 weeks. Was still in pain 6 weeks later, so I made a second opinion appointment with a different doctor. The other doctor did an mri and found 3 separate issues, as well as recommended a boot and meds. He also said he couldn't understand how dr. Tek could conclude it was a tear without having done an mri since tears don't show on xrays. Dr. Tek and office staff were very nice but weren't thorough and as a result didn't diagnose my issue properly, which felt like the visit to them had been a waste of time and a delay in treatment."

"Dr. Tek is such a caring and knowledgeable man !! Not too mention.. an amazing doctor as well !! He truly cares so much about his patients and addresses all of their concerns !! I trust him 100 % There isn't any other doctor on Staten Island like Dr. Tek. I thank God everyday for Dr. Tek"

"Dr. Tek does wonderful work and is a pleasure to deal with. He truly cares for his patients. During this pandemic his office has been a model of social distancing and safety protocols, utilizing masks, sanitizer, and scheduling to maximize patient safety. No long waits, no sitting in a crowded waiting room. Superb service. Excellent staff. Excellent doctor."

"Dr. Tek is the best doctor you will probably ever encounter. He and his team rallied with intensive office care that kept me out of the hospital during the height of the COVID surge here in NY. His office practices adapted to safe social distancing immediately. All the precautions are taken, you are never kept waiting, and you are confident that you are protected when visiting his office. Personally, Dr. Tek is intelligent, respectful and he really listens, and further, he does not talk down to, nor use overly technical language. He has a gift for explaining conditions, treatments and outcomes simply and clearly."
