Great doctor, he always listens and answers my concerns.
Called 2 days before scheduled surgery to come to the office to explain why the doctor could not complete surgery to meet my expectations. Had xrays and cat scan to determine Issue and was told surgery could help, only to be told that surgery would not be Ideal.I was told doctor spoke with other doctors and they did not recommend surgery. Was the original podiatrist that provided the initial surgery, of which I was not satisfied with, consulted. Also, because the visit took longer to help me understand why surgery could not be done, I was charged for an office visit. Finally, at the end of the visit, I was told that bone stimulation could possibly help and that a referral was going to be done. One and 1/2 weeks went by and I heard nothing Meanwhile, still with pain and walking problems. It was after I called when a referral was finally done. Still waiting to hear.
