Elliot Diamond, DPM

I went to Dr Diamond 4 different times to correct my gait this past summer. The staff is very welcoming and made every visit enjoyable. The waiting time was minimal and the visits flowed in a timely manner.
They even have massaging chairs! All in all, I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else.

I’ve gone to Dr. Diamond twice now after struggling for pain in my foot and ankle and not being able to exercise or walk comfortably for months. I’ve gone to a few podiatrists and I can honestly say that Dr. Diamond and his staff are the best. They really take the time to listen to your concerns and explain the treatment plan. After just 2 visits, I’m feeling less pain and have been able to run for the first time in a long time. I would highly recommend his practice to anyone looking for a podiatrist.

Great doctor and staff. Personal approach involves traction and/​or exercises and/​or taping and orthotics. Plenty of explaining if you are curious. I went from foot pain to training for a long race. Very pleased. Highly recommend.

What a winter. I fractured my tibia bone falling on some ice on March 9^th. Doctors told me it was hairline and that a cast wouldn’t do much good: Ice, elevation, cable tv. Anyway, the leg did heal, the pain subsided somewhat, and I was almost back to my normal routine but the leg was still swollen and sore in some positions.
One night, I met Dr. Diamond through some friends and the next day I went to his office. He stimulated the leg through electric impulse, acupuncture and intelligently placed tape on my leg and foot. I went back twice and the swelling in my leg went way down and the pain went away. I am back to yoga now, pain free. I like smart people that use natural ways to solve problems, that’s Dr. Diamond.

Dr Diamond and his team cured chronic bone pain in my feet that I thought was incurable. I was in increasing agony for two years after wearing rocker-​bottom sandals for just one summer. It was so painful to stand, and then, even so painful when I was off my feet. I was resigned to the fact that a few months of wearing those rocker-​bottom sandals (super premium Masai Tribe model) had permanently broken my feet. The bones actually ached. But being unwilling to use pain drugs, I curtailed my activities, endured it, and fruitlessly kept buying different pairs of shoes in search of comfort. Meanwhile, I was researching the problem and in touch with people around the country who had similar reactions to those rocker shoes. Soon after moving to Philly, my new internist, Dr Birgit Rakel, recommended Dr Eliot Diamond. He has changed my life after 8 treatments. For a medical office, the patient area is unconventionally relaxed, and comfortable. The staff super-​effective and at the same time personable. He has given me back my mobility and sense of well being. I never would have thought chronic foot pain could be so debilitating. And I am so lucky to have found the practitioner that has cured it using natural, holistic technique. Don’t suffer. Go.

Dr. D. is a nice man, but after months of visits and about a thousand dollars out of pocket (Includes appliances) my Plantar Fasciitis was not, IMO, really any better than months of rest would have achieved. I must say that at the time they did not accept Keystone, which may have changed. Regardless, the silly way that they approach things borders on un-professional.The patient should guide not the staff e.g. I had to ASK for an ultrasound, orthotics, etc. it’s all very vague/​groovy but no one tells you clearly what’s wrong or what needs to be done. In two visits to Temple Podiatry w/​cortisone shots, I acheived more in a month, than in the six spent under their care.P.S. those «custom» Orthotics were a waste of $ 400-​, but hey, I asked for them! There are excellent off the shelf models for under $ 50

Dr Elliot Diamond. .. ah the feeling of bliss that my knee experiences after a visit is too wonderful to explain. Dr. Diamond was recommended by a friend, and as she explained, he treats the Pennsylvania Ballet Dancers performance instrument, ie their feet. If he can bring relief from pain to Ballerinas after they dance en point then I’m sure he can bring much healthy, happy healing to the rest of us. He is trained in both traditional and oriental medicine, and utilizes a combination of wrapping, hot and cold, and accupuncture. As is clear in this review, I am singing his praises!

Really efficient, yet friendly doctor! I had my first experience with him two weeks ago. I had a very painful toe (which he fixed) and a hip problem, which he tried to fix by taping up my ankle. I was doubtful, but it actually worked! He told me to come back twice more for tapings if the hip got better.
I returned a second time and he taped but this time with more correction, and it helped my hip even more!
He and his staff are very helpful, and although they work quickly, they are very friendly and take the time to answer any questions you might have. Great doctor, and I highly recommend him to anyone who may need help in this arena!

Had my first experience at Dr. Diamond’s office today and it was great!
With some pain in my foot following an injury, I chose Dr. Diamond even though he wasn’t covered by my insurance (didn’t feel like enduring the Keystone primary care/​specialist shuffle), because of the reviews I read on City Search.
I’d read that he’d worked with the PA Ballet (is there a higher honor for a podiatrist?) and that he also offers acupuncture at his office as a means of foot therapy. I was sold.
His office was staffed by great people who returned all of my phone calls and answered all of my questions clearly. The doctor himself was very kind and clearly caring. The atmosphere felt more like a community than the sterile, hostile, revolving door feeling I get from most doctors’ offices.
If you need a podiatrist, I highly recommend Dr. Diamond!
