Dr. Coscullullea may be an excellent surgeon, but my office visit with him left much to be desired. He airily dismissed the two podiatrists I'd previously visited for ankle tendinitis by stating "Anyone with a degree can become a podiatrist." He also remarked that orthopedically correct shoes are "Made in China and worthless," even though I told him my shoes helped me a great deal. After performing a thorough physical exam of my ankle and foot, he diagnosed me with Achilles tendinitis and peroneal tendinitis -- both of which are painful conditions -- yet stated "I don't know why your ankle hurts you." When I asked if I should continue to take Tylenol for pain and Ibuprofen for inflammation, and in what dosages, he waved his hand and scoffed, "Do whatever you want." He then scheduled me for an MRI but told me he didn't expect anything negative to show up on the MRI. Throughout my visit, his attitude was smug, supercilious, and dismissive. His sneering opinion of my podiatrists and GP was uncalled for and unprofessional. I cancelled my MRI appointment and return visit. Dr. Cosculluela's office staff was very prompt, helpful, and polite, and I appreciated their support. However, I cannot recommend Dr. Cosculluela.
