Cavaliere, Raymond G MD

I never write reviews, but I count it a miracle that I found Dr. Cavaliere. After stepping on a nasty shard of glass last week, I ended up in the Emergency Room. There, I entered a world of pain: three different surgeons hacked away at my foot, stabbed eleven searing shots of lidocaine into my wound, and soaked towel after towel with blood. Six hours of cutting did not remove the glass, but only left me with a jagged, gaping hole. The doctors wouldn't listen to me; one surgeon even insisted that there was never glass there to begin with (!!!!) These were perfectly nice people, but none of them took a careful look at the problem before slicing away my skin. Needless to say, I had no faith in surgeons at this point. Fortunately, one podiatrist recommended Dr. Cavaliere. He was gentle, he listened, he took X-Rays, and he took a long and careful look at the puncture before operating. I barely felt a thing throughout the entire operation; it was on par with a tooth cleaning. He pulled out the glass with only one small incision, which he sewed and dressed cleanly. The whole operation cost less than a third of what the ER charged. Dr. Cavaliere explained to me how the tissue in the foot is different from anywhere else in the body, so a large puncture wound can not be fixed with skin from your arm or leg. If the three doctors at the ER had done just a little more damage, I would have lost a big chunk of my foot forever. There is no doubt that the world would be better off with more knowledgeable, caring, and professional doctors like this one. more

Dr. Cavaliere is a wonderful podiatrist. He is very professional, very respectful, very caring, and an EXCELLENT surgeon. He does not recommend surgery lightly. He has modern, high-tech equipment to diagnose foot problems and provide PT right in his office. As a teacher, I have had to stand and walk all day for over 25 years. Dr. Cavaliere has made it possible for me to function professionally. He fitted me for orthotics and treated my ingrown toenails in the mid 1990's. I had no further foot problems for ten years. In 2006, I went to him for severe pain from a neuroma. He treated that problem successfully. I needed a bunionectomy in 2008, which he performed. My foot looks great and feels much, much better! Now, in 2012, I have returned to him with a neuroma in the other foot. After only one visit, I can tell that he has correctly diagnosed the problem and that I will recover under his care. I recommend him to all my friends with foot issues. He is a great doctor! more

After reading these disparaging reviews about Dr Cavaliere, I felt I had to write my own review to dispel these myths about him. I've been his patient for 12 plus years. My diabetes has taken a severe toll on my feet andhe's had to do numerous surgeries ton save them. I still have my own feet thanks to him. Only once did I feel that he was over cautious and this lead to a problem but i was quickly corrected. His credentials are impeccable and his manner friendly. His staff are very friendly and helpful. I wont trust my feet to anyone else. more

Very much like a used cars salesman. And the staff is so dumb. If you have insurance problems they will be of no help. Cons: tried to upsell his services, incompetent staff more

I normally do not write reviews. But after coming across two that were written about Dr. Cavaliere I felt I had to write my own. I have been a patient of Dr. Cavaliere's for at least ten years. He has treated me for several foot problems including plantar warts to a heel spur. He also performed bunion surgery on my mother with excellent results. Each and every time I have been in his office he has treated me (and my mom) with kindness, concern, and extreme professionalism. In all of my visits with him, he has provided quality and ethical care. He came so highly recommended to me from an operating room nurse in the hospital where he performed surgery. And I also continue to highly recommend him. Pros: highly skilled,kind, caring,extremely knowledgeable more

I've seen Dr. Cavaliere 5 or 6 times. He always takes time with me to discuss what needs to be done, give professional advice, etc. I never feel rushed and he has a gentle, pleasant personality. I've had problems with ingrown toenails and plantar fasciitis all my life and so I can compare him to other podiatrists: With him, he made a painful procedure MUCH less painful and MUCH easier to deal with. I noticed a big difference with him. He really knows his profession. I can't recommend him highly enough. Pros: Smart, caring, friendly more

I had bunion surgery in 1997 and an ingrown toe nail removed in 2001. Both procedures were done perfectly. I have compared notes with folks who have used other doctors, and no one comes close to Dr. Cavaliere's level of service and knowledge. My aunt is a nurse and had her bunion surgery performed by a doctor in her own hospital and had tons or problems with recovery. I was running 5 miles in less than 4 months after my severe bunion was removed by Dr. Cavaliere. I highly recommend any foot problems to this doctor. Pros: Best experience anyone could expect more

I had foot surgery on both feet with Dr. Cavalaliere 10 years ago after a lifetime of foot pain. He accepted my insurance for both procedures and my quality of life has imporved 100 percent. I never imagined I could live without foot pain. I am and I just looked up his number today to bring my daughter to him what would be a higher recommendation than that. Pros: accepted insurance, bed side manner , very skilled Cons: none, none, none more

I was charged (and my insurance) an exhorbitant amount (over $2,000) just for the Dr. to look at my feet, order a pair of poorly made orthotics and be told to come back for another appointment. The next appointment, no one even looked at my feet. I just came to pick up my orthotics and was charged $100 just to pick it up!! I could hardly believe it when I saw the bill. I think there has to some ethical standards enforced. Cons: Poor Treatment, Poor Service, Over-charged more
