Staff are all very efficient, friendly and kind.The office is well attended but wait times to see a doctor are reasonable particularly in the morning.  Dr. Fantarella is a pleasure to be with and has improved my foot issue considerably. Only down side is the location in Westville - an extremely trafficked area - which can make crossing the street stressful! I would definitely recommend the Affliated Foot and Ankle group.
