It took me going to ANOTHER podiatrist years later to realize how unkind Dr. Swenson was. I was so…read moreafraid to get my plantar fasciitis shot in the bottom of my foot & was panicking a bit. I was asking the doctor for some reassurance and he sternly said: listen, you either do this, or you don't. I don't have time for that back and forth (this is not verbatim, but it was along these lines). I want to say the doctor even compared me to his son who could handle it better than I could. I don't need ego stroking or utmost sympathy... but come on, have a little bit of kindness? Anyways, The shot was pretty painful with this doctor I went to another doctor in the valley who was beyond kind, and I felt ZERO pain at all.

I have been a patient of this Dr. Wittenberg for quite some time, and prior to today, I had always…read morefound him pleasant and enjoyed seeing him. Unfortunately, my experience today completely changed my opinion. I have a plantar fibroma on the bottom of my left foot that has grown significantly and is now causing considerable pain while walking and even while sleeping. In the past, I received injections, but they were extremely painful and were no longer providing relief. Because of that, we previously discussed the possibility of surgery. During a previous visit, I was told that an MRI was needed before determining whether the fibroma could be surgically removed. My understanding from that conversation was that the MRI would help determine whether the fibroma was attached to the plantar fascia and whether surgery would be an appropriate option. I was unable to complete the MRI at that time because of financial circumstances. When I was finally ready to move forward, I scheduled it, but I was informed that the order had expired and that I needed to see the doctor again before a new order could be issued. That was the entire purpose of today's appointment. When he asked whether I had completed the MRI, I attempted to explain why I had not. Instead of allowing me to fully explain my circumstances, I felt that he repeatedly talked over me, called me "noncompliant," accused me of making excuses, questioned whether I was a surgical candidate, and ultimately told me that I should find another doctor to treat this problem. What made the interaction even more frustrating was receiving information today that seemed inconsistent with what I had previously been told regarding surgery. Today, he indicated that he does not perform surgery on these types of fibromas, which left me confused because our previous discussions were specifically about obtaining an MRI to determine whether mine could be surgically removed. If surgery was no longer something he was willing or able to perform, I would have appreciated having that explained to me clearly and respectfully. Instead, the conversation focused heavily on labeling me "noncompliant" and accusing me of making excuses. I understand that physicians make recommendations and that treatment plans can change based on medical circumstances. However, patients also have the right to make decisions regarding when they are financially and personally prepared to proceed with non-emergency testing or treatment. I did not continue returning for injections because I had already explained that they were painful and ineffective for me. My intention was to return when I was ready to complete the MRI and seriously pursue surgery--which is exactly what I was attempting to do. What upset me most was the lack of compassion and consideration for my circumstances. I did not feel heard. I felt dismissed and judged rather than treated like a patient who was trying to move forward with her care. I walked into the office expecting a routine follow-up and a renewed MRI order. I walked out feeling humiliated, extremely angry, and in tears after being told that perhaps I should find another physician. That was particularly disappointing because my previous experiences with this doctor had been positive. I never expected to be treated this way. Patients deserve clear and consistent communication about their treatment options, and they deserve to be spoken to respectfully even when a physician disagrees with their decisions or timeline. Unfortunately, I did not feel that I received either during today's appointment, and this experience has changed how I feel about continuing my care with this physician.

The surgery itself was fine but my issue lies with after care. I came in for my 7 week check up…read moreand saw the MA as usual, was told everything looked good and that the doctor wanted to see me in 6 weeks do I have any questions for him. I asked when I could run. He left the room was gone a couple mins, then comes back and says if I feel like running, run. I did just that. I run for my mental health and had been down most of the year, due to other surgeries, I had been waiting patiently for the okay. So for the next 7 wks I ran. I then come into the office for my 14 wk post op and the new MA say he'd like to know are the toes going numb while walking of running, I replied running, she said you're not supposed to be running, then walks out and tells Bregman that I'm running per his pervious MA's okay. Instead of coming in and saying let's reexamine your foot and see if it's injured he proceeds to laugh with the MA and I can hear them both, which put me on the defensive. So when his MA came back in and said your not to run and he'll see you in 6 weeks I replied I'll continue to run and asked if there was anything else was told no, walked to the reception area and booked a follow up. His office then called me about an hour later while I was in a doctors office, didn't leave me a message, so I didn't think anything of it. Then 3 days after my appointment Bregman reaches out is email, saying he's not concerned with what has already happened to my foot, even though I was.. So over the weekend we emailed back and forth. I gave him the chance to tell me what he thought had already happened, he never answered, but what he did keep repeating was that his office reached out to me a few times and left me a few messages.. Then on Sunday when I saw that he lied in my chart and said I didn't get instructions for my new orthotics, which btw I told him about in email that I didn't get instructions so why would you add that making i refused them, are you trying to be vindictive? Then said I walked out without making a follow up appointment also not true.. So he replied with I was told my office called you a few times and left you a few messages and this isn't a court of law or a litigation and this is miscommunication on both our sides, like wtf?? I'm concerned about my foot and whether it's been redamaged thanks to your insubordinate MA and all I get from you is sorry a family member is terminally ill, MA is giving bad advice, I had time to laugh at you, but not to walk into you room and reexamine, just more excuses, I was seriously just looking to you for honesty about my foot, as this was my 2nd surgery on it in 2 years and I wanted to know if it was okay. So I got a second opinion from a doctor who will actually comes in and sees their patients and not rely on their MAs to relay msgs that never get lost in translation to him.. Just last week is an example. the pic is the list of things I had for Bregman and what got discussed- left foot numbness right foot-we can set up on some payment plans and do laser or shockwave .. So surgery foot not important and right foot yea let's get her to spend more money.. and my right foot the MA has it in her notes that I said my toes and heel on are numb, no where does my notes say my heel is numb.. This is what I'm talking about..

Not a big fan of this doctors business side of things. I was having issues with my left foot for…read moreabout a year or so and was using heal things from amazon. I thought maybe there was something better or I had other issues. So, about 2-3 months ago I found this doctor and gave him a try. As I walked in the back office door, they did some x-rays. The doctor then came in to the room and did an ultrasound. He then said my big toe was short and because the toe next to it was longer, that longer toe was taking all the brunt. This was then causing my issue. I'm not sure why this couldn't be something that was identified as the problem before the tests? So then the doctor stated that I could get custom made orthotics that would possibly solve the problem. I decided to pay cash for them ($500) as I didn't want to wait to see if insurance would pay for them. Several weeks later, I was told they were in. I figured that I'd just pick them up and go. I guess a fitting was required (this might have been said on the phone call). They then did the "fitting" (pretty much just cutting around them so they would fit in my shoes). I've used the ones at CVS before and I've done this "fitting" all by myself. In any event, I was then told that the doctor would like to see me back in 2-3 weeks. I figured no big deal. Then as I was standing at the front desk there was a lady questioning why she was being charged because she wasn't seeing the doctor. After I heard this, I then asked the lady behind the front desk if I would be charged when I came back. She said yes. Interesting. I told her that I would not be coming back and that I'd like the doctor to call me. My assumption is that if I pay $500 that I should get at least one free visit with the doctor to see how things are going with them and not be charged. Never got a call. My take, this may be the general practice with foot people, but I'm not used to having things done before I see the doctor (x-ray) or at least them knowing what's what, beyond my foot hurts. Maybe it's my fault for stepping on the machine, I obviously question myself on that. I'm not used to costs for things like "fittings" (aka scissor trimming) or "check ins" to see if the $500 things are working. I'd say if you go to this doctor, don't have them do anything until you see the doctor and understand the "why" first. And do your own "fitting", it's cheaper. Ohhhh and also, the orthotics didn't work for me. I used them for about 5 weeks or so, following their break in period and my feet still hurt more. I'd go back to the office, but I would probably be charged. I went back to the heal things that I used before and while my feet still have issues, these seem to work much better. Maybe I'll use the orthotics as weapons. So yes, there's that and the two star is because one star seems excessive....
