HORRIBLE!! This podiatrist messed up my toe! I went in had a bone spur at the top of my big toe…read more This podiatrist performed a bunionectomy or at least that is what he put down on all the paperwork for insurance purposes maybe a bone spur would not pay him as much as a bunionectomy I'm guessing? I'd like to think he knows where a bunion is located and it is not at the top of the toe! and how it looks on an X-ray as well and it is totally different to what I had! After surgery I kept telling him I could not move my toe on every visit, al I would get is a hive it time and a shot, until one day he said we will send you to therapy see if we can get some of that movement back... WTH!! My toe didn't have to be in a situation where trying to get some movement back was an option! Went to therapy just so there wouldn't be no saying after that I did not go to therapy one of the therapist even told me after 10 sessions of therapy seeing no progress on the movement of my toe that the pin that he put on my toe will not let my foot flex normal and probably the only fox would be removing it. I asked if she thinks more therapy would fix my toe she said honestly NO. My toe almost 5 months postsurgery and is hanging and I can not lift it, I can not put shoes on, I can not walk without pain, I have to wear some kinesiology tape to pull my toe up and make it a little less painful. I had post a review they called me to go in but decided to cancel it because I can not trust this person with my toe again heaven forbid I loose whatever minimal movement my toe has left. Not only that but I am tired of him putting those shots like it was a must that shot is not going to reattach my tendon nor make my toe go up and he knows it too, as he should know that those shots should not be administered in such a frequency as he is doing smdh...this podiatrist is a fraud to patients and insurance companies. I now have to invest out of pocket MRI'S for reconnection of tendon and a second surgery with an orthopedist which is the one that should have done the surgery in the first place. I trusted this man, I thought he knew what he was doing! I last paper I got from this podiatrist with diagnostic I went from just a bone spur to a diagnostic of bunion and hammer toe!! WTF how can you even trust a person like this. I hope anyone looking for a review on this person reads this and run the other way. Because all he cares is about the money and he will make sure he gets it. We'll see how long he's practice lasts. He has ruined my way of living I can't walk I can't workout because the pain is always there. Hope this can save people from falling into something like that and if you already did I'm so sorry, I say all this because I have medical background, also have 3 doctors in my family real doctors meaning podiatrists are NOT MD's! orthopedist are MD's specialized in orthopedics. That's why I said also about those shots he keeps putting that as a real doctor he would know they are not recommended in such frequency.
