Liang Jian Q, DPM

This guy gets the 5 star rating from me because wait time is at minimal and honestly, he relieves your stress by talking to you and performing whatever the «cleaning» or operation is. He is of the best in the podiatry and medical field. He knows what the patient wants and provides without needing to ask!
I came in for an ingrown toenail problem after searching for one on Unilocal and within minutes I found him and trusted my fellow Unilocalers! I got to him, paid whatever (insurance, copay) and was in the exam room in less than 15 minutes. This guy comes in professionally told me that he personally does not like to use anesthetics if I can tolerate pain and he told me it’ll literally take seconds. It took literally a few seconds of pain and I was immediately relieved! He did also tell me that this is a temp fix because it will take a minor procedure to fix fully…
I haven’t had the chance to go in for the minor procedure because you will need to put your toe in Epsom salt for 3 weeks so I’m delaying that for sure LOL!
All in all… I keep on coming back to him because he is good!
Pain — 100% for like 2 seconds…
Relieve — 1 000 000 000% after the 2 seconds of pain…
GOOD TRADEOFF… LOL

After a dismal experience with Dr. Christopher Chow, which I posted a deservingly negative review some time back. I was a bit apprehensive with taking my cousin, who is mentally challenged to see Dr. Liang. First and foremost, both doctors have their offices in the same building. I was concerned that the bad congregates with the bad. Upon entering the office, the courteous and helpful assistant was the first step in allaying my fears. The second promising sign was all the patients that came out of their checkup with Dr. Liang had smiles on their faces. Then we met with Dr. Liang and all concerns faded. He proved to be an efficient and caring doctor — meticulously cleaned my cousin’s overgrown toe nails, filed and trimmed with a dremal tool, then finally scrapped my cousin’s callouses with a scalpel. The entire checkup lasted more than 20 minutes and at no time did we feel rushed. I am very pleased with Dr. Liang’s bedside manners and will not look for another podiatrist anytime soon.

Excellent doctor! Love the hours, open Saturday and Sunday. I was diagnosed with plantar facitus. I needed custom insoles and his were reasonably-​priced. With insoles and some exercises I am feeling a lot better. A bit of a wait sometimes to see the doctor because he has a lot of patients but worth the wait!

Read the reviews on Unilocal and decided to make an appointment. Brought my 5 year old child to see him for a foot problem. We drove all the way from New Jersey to chinatown only to find out that they require they patients to pay the deductible first even if the insurance covers it. I filled out all the paperwork and waited 20 minutes only to find out that I need to pay $ 65 up front before the doctor will my son. They claim that alot of patients run off without paying the deductible. Its not my problem, you need to get debt collector on them. I believe the cost to see him is about 100 something? Either way my insurance would have covered 80% which would not equal $ 65 for the 20%.
I would have been more content to pay if the person taking my call to make the appointment would have told me in advance. But instead they made us lug our toddler drive all the way from NJ to NY and wait 20 min before letting us know the payment policy. As of now its not the money, its principle. We are not getting an MRI that cost $ 1500 and might justify having patients pay the deductible first. Its only $ 100 visit, get over it!

He is the first podiatrist I have ever visited due to the gradual development of heel pain in my left foot from wearing flip-​flops while having above average high archs on my feet. Finding him on Unilocal,I made an appointment because his of rating and reviews. Not having insurance, I paid in cash and was surprised that the fee was reasonable.
The wait in his office wasn’t that long IMHO. I’ve seen him twice so far and the average wait time was around 15 minutes to see him. In his office, Doctor Liang was always pleasant, professional, and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend him.

My mom had a bad experience with another doctor and was hesitant to see another, so, I decided to do some research and found the great reviews Dr. Liang had. My mother immediately called for an appointment, in which, he was able to see her right away.
Her comment regarding Dr. Liang after her visit was: My goodness! He’s such a caring and kind doctor!
He made sure she knew what was wrong with her and explained what she needed to do to get better.
As my mother was paying the front desk for her co-​pay, she had forgotten to asked when she should go back for a follow-​up visit… Dr. Liang heard her and came running out of his office to tell her: «No sense in wasting money, we need to wait for your shoe insole to come in first, so, we will do the follow up then.»
I mean, when was the last time you heard a doctor tell you not to waste money?
My mom rarely ever rave about anything, but you couldn’t stop telling me how great this doctor was.
And yes, he is now in a new building, and his office is professional and clean.
Highly recommended.

when you’re a girl and wearing flat and walk around a lot –this is what happened.
i got ingrowned nail and it hurts so bad. after few research found dr. liang on Unilocal.
the location is in chinese office building and it might look a little bit intimidating to some people.
dr. liang is great he has a great bedside manner and told me that he can do a sugery but my toe nail will not be pretty anymore– so what he can do, he will clean cut and dig out the ingrown nail out and hopefully it will not grow in anymore.
he also told me that i shouldn’t get pedicure because if the place is not clean and sterilize good– it might cause infection.
it cost me 65 $ but definitely worth it.

Dr. Liang is exactly what you want in a doctor — quick, confident, no-​BS, and practical. He is one of the few doctors around who offer reasonable prices and take patients who don’t have insurance. $ 65 to see him for a consult (and $ 150 if you need surgery for an ingrown toenail, which was what I saw him for). As it turned out, I didn’t even need the surgery — for my $ 65, he dug out the nail, cauterized the toe, numbed it, used some disinfectant, gave me some special gauze tubing, and offered a free follow-​up visit. Great value! He was a total pro and made me felt like I cared.
Other people spoke about «dingy surroundings», which I assume refers to 210 Canal St. He has since moved a few blocks to 139 Centre Street, Suite 211, which I found to be a very professional and clean-​looking building. Dr. Liang speaks fluent English without an accent, too. The only thing that separates him from the ritzy Park Ave doctors who charge $ 400 a visit is that he has better restaurants across the street.
Accepts: Fidelis, United Health Care, Wellcare, HIP. May accept others too — call first.

hes pretty good considered i was so scared when i had a ingrown toe nail. i kept going back to him repeatedly because it kept getting infected.
he told me from the beginning that this would happen and told me the only permanent fix was minor procedure.
after a year i finally went and did it, it was very simple procedure. looked more painful than what it really was (although i have a pretty high threshold of pain.)
i would definitely recommend him, he is very professional and good. he is also very honest with you.
he would offer anaesthesia even for a simple ingrown clipping (but i dont recommend it since it takes several hours for it to wear off. just endure the few mins of pain — you think you cant, but after he clips it, all is good)

There are a TON of medical offices in Chinatown. People (generally from the older generation) come all the way out here, especially if they don’t have insurance. Make no mistake though, doctors like Dr. Jian Q. Liang know their stuff and won’t give u a second class treatment. You do however have to have an open mind and look past the dingy surroundings. Small office and the floors/​walls/​equipment could use a good scrubbing or a remodeling.
A+ podiatrist. Accepts Aetna.
