Dr. Stephen Francis Conti, MD

Saw him at initial appointment then surgery then no follow up with him. Saw the PA. Who kept telling me my foot was normal. Blackened from the neurotic tissue. Went to wound care. He blames issues on everyone else but him. Arrogant attitude towards other health providers. Well I lost my foot and all thanks to him! Run! Run! Run!

Dr. Stephen Conti is arrogant and dismissive. I had great toe surgery in May 2010 and saw Dr Conti only twice… at the initial appointment and at a post-surgical appointment. Any other time that I needed assistance or had concerns, I was directed to talk to Chad, his PA. Chad was kind and helpful; Dr Conti could take a lesson from him. The results of the surgery only last for a while; I am seeking treatment for the same issue again. One of the things that was most troubling about my post surgical care was the OxyContin and oxycodone prescriptions. I was prescribed 60 of each pill and told to take them on a regular schedule even if I didn’t feel pain; this was supposedly to prevent “breakthrough” pain. I later that so much medication was prescribed to prevent me from calling in to the office. Because I trusted my doctor, I did what was instructed… For a while. However, it became increasingly clear that following such instructions is unwise. I became quite sluggish and… lethargic and started feeling depressed. I found out later that OxyContin and oxycodone can cause these effects. However, neither the doctor nor his staff advised me of this. In addition, both medications are highly addictive. Thank God I don’t have an addictive personality; If I had, the outcome could have been much worse. If you choose to have foot surgery, do your homework. Don’t choose a doctor because he works for a particular facility for was recommended by a friend. Do you own research so that you can be confident that you choose somebody who has your best interest at heart.

Dr. Stephen F. Conti, MD It is with much disappointment that I am writing this review for others to read. Hopefully it will help someone to make a better choice for bunion surgery, as there are many other doctor's out there. I felt I did my research prior to picking Dr. Conti for my surgery, however, i ended up with a complete re-do within 6 months of my surgery by Dr. Conti...completed by another doctor. I ended up with a stress fracture (he said it is rare but happens) where he drilled through a bone during the procedure, and then ultimately the whole procedure failing, as a ligament that he remembers tightening during the surgery, came loose. I also was left with a new problem that never existed prior to surgery. He failed 100%, offering to squeeze me into his surgery schedule the following week to start "fusing bones". I declined his offer. I was told repeatedly after this failure, by Dr. Conti and staff, that "you signed a paper" that releases Dr. Conti from all risks and… complications that may arise. Well, you can't go through the surgery unless you sign everything, and it did indeed permit him to walk free of his less than stellar surgical work. To have it fixed and re-done, I would have to pay in full again, miss work again, endure pain again...unless I wanted to pursue legal action, according to his nurse. You will not see Dr. Conti after surgery. I never saw him until I insisted it was time to get him back involved (trouble was brewing and it was 3 months + after surgery). He uses his PA's for all follow-up appointments. Unfortunately, since this has happened to me with Dr. Conti, I have since found another individual that has had a similar terrible experience for the same/similar surgery. She allowed him to try his correction surgery, only to fail her twice, and tried talking her into a third surgery which she declined. There are better choices to be made than allowing Dr. Stephen Conti to handle this type of correction. He even told me I was doing the surgery at a good time, prior to any complications due to age or wear and tear. I went through this surgery on my other foot nearly 20 years ago by another physician and have no problems or issues with it to this day. Add photos

My wife has so many problems with her feet because of the surgery he botched. Go to a real doctor

Worst experience ever...treated as if I was just another box to check off...the woman who checked me out and gave me my script was haughty, loud, rude, and smug...people like this should not be working with people...big ??

Dr. Conti, his colleagues and nursing staff were excellent. Dr. Conti successfully operated on my bunion and cross-over toe.

Dr Conti had me wait at least 3 hours for each appointment. I complainmed about pain and swelling after the surgery. He kept saying it will be fine in about 6 months. After finally getting a follow up when I was still having pain and swelling. He did not even remember who I was and said "oh I haven't seen you for a year ." Meanwhile he did not remember the operation. I have since found out that the screw in my foot had been broken and I am now in a wheelchair!!! I can't believe that the wait time only goes up to an hour, I know it was 3 hours every time but once!

He destoyed my life.....i walked for a liveing. I was told it was a simple surgery. My ankle is worse after surgery. He continue to tell me it was fixed and did not believe me it was not. Treated me like a life time comp case person.....he distroyed my life........

Big toe fusion due to arthritis. Explained procedure, very professional. His PA, Chad was also great. Highly recommend. I can walk, run, work and play sports without pain finally!

It has been over ten years since my Mortons Neuroma surgery. At which time, Dr. Conti also performed bunion surgery. I did not have a bunion rather he did this to protect a ligament surgery in a toe. I only had the surgery because I was very active and did not want the discomfort when I became older. Please educate yourself! My foot became worse after the surgery. I consulted with other surgeons and was told he took a simple procedure and made it complicated. I have done PT and now wear insoles. I limp and my gait is off. The things I used to do with my family are impossible. I would not recommend him. I have met some other kind and amazing doctors. I just wish I never had that surgery. I did not get the results I was informed about. He also said when he met me, you must wear high heels all the time! Never!
