Robert Zane, DPM

Dr.Robert. Zane is the best podiatrist I ever came across. He is very friendly, very professional and makes you feel extemely comfortable. He takes his time, ask questions, listens to all your concerns and makes sure you’re leaving his office happy and content with his service. I took my 80 year old mom and while Dr Zane is working on her extemely bad feet she told him that he was very light handed and that it didn’t bother her feet. Waiting time the first time was 10 minutes and the second visit the Dr took her in right away with no wait time. Dr. Zane is one in a million doctors that genuinely cares about his patients. Did I mention that he was funny too. Almost forgot to add that his staff is very friendly and professional as well. She also helps you with any concerns you may have and does her best to solve it.

Wonderful man, treatment right away. He explained himself, my issue and treated me with no qualms. Friendly staff, I will recommend him to others.

Dr. Zane is great. He took care of my Grand Mother for nearly 20 years. I went to him when I was very young and he’s always been great. He’s funny and keeps you calm and relaxed. Very professional.

Dr Zane is great. He’s friendly, funny, and most importantly an honest and helpful doctor. He called me back first thing in the morning after I had left a voice message for him the night before. I went into his office the same day where he diagnosed, treated, and prescribed further treatments for my condition. It was a very relaxed experience. It’s obvious that he truly cares about people and takes his duties as a doctor seriously. I’m glad I went to see him and I would definitely recommend him.

Awesome! I couldn’t recommend Dr. Zane highly enough!
Firstly, I was really happy that I got a Saturday appointment having called to schedule only two days before. When I arrived I filled in all of my new patient paperwork and I didn’t even get a chance to sit down before they were ready for me. The receptionist was super friendly and happy to answer any questions I had.
The décor is definitely ‘no frills’ but, echoing the sentiments of Nate B, I’m happy to forgo swank surroundings for the money saved. Without insurance I paid $ 60 for my consultation and their consultation costs include any injections you may need (I had two cortisone shots). I didn’t need x-​rays but Dr. Zane said they charge $ 40 if necessary and they charge $ 250 for orthotics. The price for orthotics has remained the same for the 20 years that they’ve been there!
Dr. Zane himself was amazing. He is really kind, caring and attentive. Even though he had more patients waiting for him he took the time to explain everything and answer all of my questions. I had previously been to a podiatrist a few blocks away and had felt completely rushed by the doctor and the staff so it was a breath of fresh air to feel relaxed, at ease and like I was being listened to. At the other clinic I also got the feeling that I was trying to be sold additional services and products that I didn’t need but Dr. Zane was the complete opposite. He was aware that I didn’t have insurance so was intent on keeping costs at a minimum for me.
I’m all fixed now but I look forward to the time I need to see Dr. Zane again!

I’m so glad I found Dr. Zane! He actually answered his own phone when I called and was able to see me the same day for an ingrown toenail. A very professional, knowledgeable, and most importantly, caring doctor. I very highly recommend Dr. Zane!

I’m not realy a computer person but i felt compelled to write a review. I was very nervous walking into Dr. Zane’s office with an infected toe.
His warm bedside manner and knowledgeable ways made my experience pleasant and painless. I would highly recommend Dr. Zane. Look no further.

Dr. Zane, podiatrist, is a champ.
I’m not going to go into detail about what was wrong with my feet. You should just picture two amazingly sexy feet, size 10.5, with all 10 toes. I won’t share the things the good doctor did to make them even more astoundingly glamorous — hard to believe considering they’re practically foot model-​grade shape.
I will say it was affordable at $ 65 for the visit (the uninsured like me and those paying out of pocket take note), accessible (it’s just a walk-​in clinic with bank-​like hours), and the interaction from the folks at the front desk to the waiting room (I think everybody on staff is bilingual Spanish/​English) was pleasant.
What made my first experience truly awesome was the good doctor playing drum solos on YouTube during my little minor surgery. After he found out I was a drummer, Dr. Zane immediately found a live version of Edgar Winter’s Frankenstein he thought I had to see. Whatever blinding pain I should have been feeling vanished. Perhaps that was just the local anesthetic.
The office itself, shared with another primary care physician with whom I’ve also had good experiences, is somewhat less modernized than the other walk-​in facilities in the surrounding areas, like Greenpoint’s Manhattan Medical (at $ 120 a visit) or the Duane Reades (at $ 220 and up per visit). There’s less hand-​holding and fewer lollipops to make your boo-​boos go bye-​bye. This and the moderate interior decorating let’s the office pass the savings on to you!
That rate for a visit matters a lot when costs of medical care prohibit people from getting care. This part of Williamsburg isn’t filled with condos. It doesn’t have the artisinal mayonaise shops — at least not yet. This is still old-​school Williamsburg, East Willy B. Dr. Zane’s office lets folks from the old neighborhood actually afford care.
I think young people moving to the neighborhood, the ones in that gap between coverage by their parents’ insurance and finding a job that supplies it, ought to know about this too.
