She is absolutely outstanding! She is professional, knowledgeable, and experienced, as well as friendly and attentive. We are totally comfortable with her as our podiatrist, and she has successfully resolved the issues that caused us to seek treatment. The office staff is also professional and friendly. An overall great experience and worthy of the highest recommendation. Jack Murray

Being a diabetic, I see her every nine weeks to monitor my feet, to prevent any problems such as diabetic ulcers, which a diabetic friend of mine had and subsequently led to amputation of his leg. I highly recommend Dr Kalmar. Note: her offices have moved from Naperville to 1S067 Summit Ave in Oak Brook Terrace, which is on Summit Ave. just south of Roosevelt Rd. across the street from "Pete's Fresh Market".

So sad. After years of foot care provided by this practice, all the original founders , and their…read morekind successors, have retired or left. The plan of care that had been followed for about a decade had prevented me from unnecessary suffering and grown me some healthy nails, was a thing of the past. Well. "new provider", that's what she called herself, declared she would no longer be following that plan and if I came back I would have to pay out of pocket for care unless there was a problem. There is no more preventative care unless you are a diabetic. Then I was able to read her post visit notes that included things not addressed but documented as discussed. Minimal care was provided. I find that reprehensible. I was in shock at the manner in which I had been treated. Call me old school, but, I would never speak to any patient in such a manner. Unfortunately, moving on.

I decided to go through with the operation having 100% confidence in her. The operation went as good as could be expected. Went home with very clear instructions on what to expect and what to do if problems occurred. Which none did. She had prescribed the medications at the pre-op visit, so I had them when I got home. She called me the day after the surgery to see how I was doing, which was so much better than I expected. After a couple days no need for pain meds. Post-op check ups were just as thorough as prior visits. She and her office staff couldn't be nicer. I highly recommend her. I'm

He started scaring me with all the bad stuff that could happen, and telling me if r MRI results are bad I may need surgery. I said I won't do surgery. . . I said I have a chiropractor and massage therapist. He said don't see your chiropractor till after the MRI. She might mess it up. the next day my massage therapist worked on the cuboid bone in my foot. That was the cause of the foot problem. I had tight muscles in my thigh which made the leg seem weaker. It was a very odd visit with DR. Pastore. I had the feeling he was trying to push me into medical solutions for things that could be easily remedied by my long time chiropractor and massage therapist. Doctors almost always consider complimentary therapy bad.and useless. . I am left with feeling uneasy about visiting Dr. Pastore in the future.

I mainly went to him as my right foot had gone numb. It was quite debilitating, and I could not drive. After a thorough examination he explained to me it was not my foot and believed the problem to be my back. He immediately ordered physical therapy for me, a lumbar MRI, told me to find a back doctor and I started my journey of healing which does concern my back. I will be forever grateful that he did not order unnecessary tests. Physical Therapy and Acupuncture is actually what is healing the numbness in my foot.
