X-rays confirmed that surgery would be highly beneficial for my overall quality of life. I hike 5 miles, six days a week. I live an active lifestyle and wanted to continue being that way with my family so I agreed to surgery. BEST Decision and this was the team to do it. Dr. Nunez explained every detail, every step of the way. His support staff is wonderful, kind, and patient. And the outcome has surpassed all my expectations. My foot is beautiful, straight, and pain free. I am walking, hiking, and active. Plus, the hard callous that has always been in the middle of my right food = GONE! I highly recommend this office and Dr. Nunez!

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.

Doctor Stowell examined me and quickly diagnosed my condition. The Dr ordered an MRI and prescribed medication for my ailment. I returned a couple of weeks later after the MRI and the doctor reviewed it. The doctor recommended I do not have a knee surgery . Instead he recommended I get a cortisone injection. I have been pain free for about 6 months. I returned several months later for pain in my heal. The examining foot doctor diagnosed plantar fasciitis and ordered physical therapy. The therapist indicated that the fasciitis is a result of chronic tightness in the calf muscle. The therapist performed a muscle relaxation massage on the calf and several stretches. Those exercises worked great!!

The first response to pain help request was "I wasn't in enough pain because my voice didn't show enough pain over the phone." My caregiver and I were shocked at the response. At 6 weeks, I visited my regular doctor who gave me a list of questions to ask at the upcoming appointment. Dr. Scott dodged all questions, saying "everyone is different". Being different should not mean refusing to address the problem. Since then, my regular doctor team has managed the pain and more recently with an ultrasound and MRI has found swelling and post surgical changes. The ultrasound showed a large blood clot causing the swelling. These tests are pretty basic to rule out serious things like blood clots that can cause strokes. I am so grateful that my regular team of doctors are more interested in solving health problems than ignoring them. The stroke will take 2-3 months to dissolve and I don't know about post surgical changes treatment yet. I do know there is at least one other former patient with the same bad treatment facing a repair surgery. I wonder why Dr. Scott isn't working at Providence anymore or doing them in Spokane.
