None of them were capable of helping me in fact none of them ever took an xray. Eventually my regular doctor/PA made me an appt with Dr. Arnold. 1st thing on the 1st visit I got an xray which showed I had a prominent bone spur on the afflicted food which helps to irritate the PF issue. I received a shot on the second visit, another appt was scheduled 2 weeks later but when I was interviewed by Dr. Arnold she determined since the pain was gone at that point no shot was advised. I havent been back, I have been pain free with only a minor, very minor flare up after doing things like pushing heavy wheel barrows which before ruined me for days. I can bike ride again too which is very important for me. Thank you Dr. Arnold. Office staff is very helpful and nice also.

I've had many return visits to Dr. Thompson and still no improvement. On my final and now last visit he said there was nothing more he could do for me. Gee, thanks Dr. Thompson, you put me through surgery and made MY INJURIES WORSE than they were before. I have lots of pain and swelling in my foot and have to use a walker now to get around. I'm told by a different orthopedic surgeon that I will need to get a specialized leg brace which I may have to wear for a year in order to get back to where I was before the surgery by Dr. Thompson.

I also chase around a 2-year-old granddaughter almost daily. I was referred to Dr. Nunez by a friend he had recently operated on. Having worked in the medical field for over 20 years - I have very high standards for medical offices. The office is clean. The staff is very personable and attentive. After having a fairly in-depth conversations with Dr. Nunez and learning he believes that you don't fix the problem the complaint comes back. He spoke my language. Dr. Nunez operated on my left foot March 1. I walked out of the office post op. It went so well I scheduled my right foot for early June. I would also like to add - after hours communication is excellent. I highly recommend seeking out Dr. Nunez for foot surgery. I am forever thankful for his skills.

I had been dealing with painful fasciitis and bone spur on my left foot for 6 months. I tried…read moreeverything my Podiatrist recommended to fix it on my own, to no avail! It had become debilitating! I went to Dr. Nunez for a consult. I had been skeptical about his low invasive approach, under a local and asked for a "sign" that I should have him fix my issue. Upon walking in for my consult, 3 post-op patients were in the waiting room raving about the surgeries and their results. I took this as my "sign" and decided to proceed. The surgery was a breeze, I walked out in very little pain. I think I took 2 pain pills immediately after, as I wasn't sure what to expect when the numbing agent wore off. However, I don't think I even needed those. Recovery was a uneventful and speedy. I was mowing the yard after 2 weeks post-op! This man gave me my life back and I am very grateful. I highly recommend his approach and wouldn't hesitate to go back, if needed!
