Howard G.Osterman's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Osterman is the real deal. I've been to at least a dozen podiatrists over the years and once I met him, I never bothered going anywhere else. Most specialists these days act like they are God and that every question you ask is slowly wasting their time. Dr. Osterman was the absolute opposite. His bedside manner is phenomenal, he urged me to ask all the questions I wanted and took time out of his day to ask me about how my family was doing. He's also clearly gifted in terms of his technique. Painful callouses that had given me trouble for a year were reduced to zero pain within an hour. The fact that NBA players trust him with their feet speaks volumes about this man. I'd recommend him to anyone and I almost never write reviews.

Patient, planful, effective

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Osterman and his clinic. He was incredibly kind, patient in explaining things to me, and made sure to answer all my questions. His staff were friendly and efficient. I would highly recommend!

I visited his office located in Silver Spring, MD 20910, twice, and during these visits, he treated me, for toes numbing, which these visits may have taken place in the early years of 2000. He helped remedied me of my toes numbing and I was more than pleased. Significantly, his staff and himself were kind, caring, and respectful. Dr. Osterman himself was very personable and very nice, with his instructions booklet he gave me how to remedy feet problems have some cooking recipes included, surprisingly. I am not sure whether he himself he is still in practice but his office is still there with his name listed as one of the providers. In 2020, a member of my family visited his office at this Silver Spring, MD 20910 location, and accordingly, that he was treated pleasingly. Thanks!

I went to see Dr. Osterman for the first and last time on November 9, 2020 for my left foot. He said he didn't believe in ultrasounds and gave me an exray, despite the fact I tild him I had a hairline fracture last year that was not detectable from an exray. I have been in very bad pain akin to my hairline fracture from last year. He told me I had very bad arthritis and wanted to give me pills for inflammation. He never suggested an MRI, but fashioned a ridiculous bandage that I was supposed to wear for three weeks. I don't take anti-inflammatory pills as they cause kidney problems. Dr. Osterman IS NOT THOROUGH and I would never go back to him. Consider yourself warned.

I came to Dr. Osterman's office (Foot And Ankle Specialists of the Mid-Atlantic) in March to help me resolve some heel pain related to foot injury earlier in the year. Based on internet reviews, Dr. Osterman was highly recommended so I decided to trust my hoof to his care. This was a good decision on my part because not only did my foot injury finally recover, but I had a great patient experience as well. From the scheduling of my initial appointment to my final check-out, everything related to his office ran smoothly and was stress free. In terms of the medical outcome, I appreciated that Dr. Osterman used only the minimum-required amount of diagnostics, procedures, and medications to solve my problem, without pushing expensive and possibly unnecessary extras. Overall, great experience and I will definitely return if I encounter new foot problems in the future.

I saw Dr. Osterman to remove a painful ingrown toenail. He was excellent. He immediately diagnosed the problem (I wasn't sure if I had a corn or callus - or other issue). I thought the procedure would require anesthesia, but he said it would not be necessary - and he was absolutely correct. Fast, painless, efficient. The office staff was very nice and helpful. As much as I would hope to avoid another ingrown toenail, I would immediately call Dr. Osterman.

Dr. Osterman was beyond Great! I went in on today because my feet both were bothering me for sometime now. He turned an almost three year nightmare into a one minute miracle. I can now walk with no aches or pains and the process was PAINLESS!! Thanks a Million Dr. Osterman.

Excellent Podiatrist. I have been going to him for over a decade.
