I noticed I got 1 wart on the bottom of my left foot and 2 warts on the bottom of my right foot…read more The 1 wart on my left foot started paining so I decided to stop by the Chicago Foot Care Clinic and have Dr. Thimesch check them out. This practice does not accept Medicaid and unfortunately that is the medical coverage I currently have so I had to pay from my pocket for my treatment. For the initial consult I paid $150 where Dr. Thimesch looked at the warts and explained what they were and the fact that they have to be removed via laser treatment. A week later the staff of Dr. Thimesch got me on the schedule for laser treatment. On the day of the laser treatment I paid $525 and was called in shortly to receive anesthesia via a syringe around the warts so my feet would temporary loose sensation for the laser treatment. The Anesthesia Injections were painful - my left wart area needed anesthesia more than the right side due to the location of the wart. The treatment went smoothly and my wounds are in the healing process - Dr. Thimesch and his team did a great job! After the surgery the staff wrapped my feet up and dressed the wounds with the medical socks for easier management of the wounds. I was told not to shower, stay off my feet as much as possible and the possibility of the wounds bleeding due to the depth of the incisions. About 24 hours later I have had very minimum pain thanks to the antibiotic which was prescribed by Dr. Thimesch and Tylenol. Dr. Thimesch called me yesterday as well to follow up which was nice and to see if I have any questions - great customer care! This morning the staff called me as well to see how I was doing as well! Very amazing customer service from the Doctor and his staff. I have my follow ups for the next 6-8 weeks so Dr. Thimesch can clean my wounds and make sure my wounds are healing well. Definitely recommend this clinic to all Chicago Public for amazing care and service. 5/5

IF YOU HAVE A PAINFUL NEUROMA in your foot. This one is for you!…read more TLDR:: Dr Usman is Seriously Amazing. Extremely comprehensive and did not rush AT ALL. The wait and the 4 hour drive to see him was WELL worth it. My story; For more than two years, I lived with constant pain from a Morton's neuroma. What started as occasional discomfort gradually became something that affected nearly every part of my life. Simple things most people take for granted became difficult. Walking my dog, standing in the kitchen to cook dinner, shopping, traveling, and even getting through a workday were painful. At night, I would often lie awake because of the burning, tingling, and electric shock sensations shooting through my foot. I honestly felt hopeless. I constantly googled, ChatGPT, researched on line and did so much. Over the years, I saw multiple doctors (1 sports medicine MD, 1 orthopedic doctor and one podiatrist l) and tried just about everything that was recommended. I went through custom orthotics, physical therapy, shoe modifications, several cortisone injections, and alcohol sclerosing injections. While some treatments provided temporary relief, the pain always returned and returned with a vengeance! Eventually, I was told by my local doctor that surgical nerve removal was likely my next option. The idea of surgery, recovery time, and the possibility that it still might not solve the problem left me feeling extremely discouraged. That's when I searched and emailed Dr Usman (used the main email which his staff forwarded to his direct email). He replied so quickly to me even though I was not an official patient of his! I immediately scheduled an appointment with Dr. Usman. From my first visit, I felt that my concerns were genuinely being heard. Dr. Usman took the time to review my history, explain why previous treatments may not have worked, and discuss all available options. One treatment we discussed was cryosurgery (cryoablation), a minimally invasive procedure designed to treat my painful nerves by using extremely cold temperatures. After a few weeks later, I was cleared for the procedure and the procedure itself was so much easier than I expected. It was performed in his extremely clean and Beautiful office. During the procedure at several points he made me felt very comfortable and checked up on me and explained in detail what he was doing. He made a very small pin point entry point in my foot and did cryosurgery for my neuroma! I had no large incisions or stitches. I was able to walk out of the office afterward wearing a comfortable surgical shoe. About 1 week after the cryoabalation of my neuroma, I woke up, stepped on the ground with my bare feet and I had ZERO pain. For the first time! The pain that had controlled my life for years finally began to improve. Today, about 6 weeks later, I am back to doing the activities I had given up. I can walk longer distances, enjoy social events, and spend time with family without constantly thinking about my foot. The sharp burning, walking on a rock pebble and electrical sensations that once dominated my day are no longer part of my everyday life. No treatment is right for every patient, and everyone's results are different. However, if you have been struggling with Morton's neuroma, have tried multiple conservative treatments, or have been told surgery is your only remaining option, it may be worth learning more about cryosurgery/cryoabalation and discussing whether it is appropriate for your situation. I only write this review to help those out there still struggling like I was. For me, finding Dr. Usman and Michigan Avenue Podiatry Clinic was a turning point. After years of frustration, I finally found relief and was able to get back to living my life. If you're on the fence about seeing Dr Usman for your foot problems. I would highly encourage you to see him. Best Podiatrist in Chicago and beyond!

I asked for him to laser it and he didn't feel that was the right choice of treatment. I suggested some rx medication that was $50 out of pocket. Months and multiple visits later problem still wasn't taken care of. I got irritated and decided to go next door to Foot and Ankle center. I saw Dr.Rivera there and he was always on time. Their office is cleaner and nicer and within two visits Dr Rivera had got rid of the toe nail fungus. In other words? Don't go here, go next door!

My husband David has been suffering from severe foot problems for 2.5 years. We met Dr Jason Kalk…read moreabout 5 months ago when David was hospitalized at St Francis Evanston with sepsis and MRSA. Then things changed, more than the treatment David had been receiving for 2 years. The previous doctors took a wait and see what happens attitude. Dr Kalk immediately assessed the situation and began treatment that has solved the problem. Office visits are always friendly and helpful. The staff at his office is terrific. Knowledgeable and friendly. David has also recently had some skin cancer removed from his head leaving a large wound. Every time we have seen Dr Kalk, weekly since David's hospitalization, Dr Kalk inquires about the head wound and looks at it. The last time David was seen at the Northwestern Hospital dermatology surgery clinic, we were told to come back in three months. I cannot say enough good things about Dr Kalk except that I wish we would have found him 2.5 years ago. I sincerely doubt that David would have undergone the two years of trouble he had before meeting Dr Kalk, maybe not the 2 surgeries he had, and the 2 emergency hospitalizations for sepsis that almost killed David. Dr Jason Kalk, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Short version -- I plan to keep seeing Dr. Gelbmann even after I move to New York this spring, he's…read morethat good. Dr. Gelbmann is the most extraordinary podiatrist I've ever been to. He has fixed problems I had been told were unfixable. the procedure he recommended to fix my hammer toes was a simple office procedure that didn't involve major surgery or breaking any bones. It took me a week to recover - but I think that was because at 78 it took me that long to recover from anything. It changed my office visit schedule to address calluses from evey 6 weeks to every 6 months, if that. The proceddure he used was not new, Found it with a google search about 4 or 5 pages in. It involved s very precise cutting of temdons. Just no other podiatrist that either I or my husband saw for hammer toes ever mentioned it. I'm moving to Manhattan - where there is no shortage of doctors. I love to walk. I'll be coming back to Chicago to see Dr. Gelbmann if I need podiatric care, he's that amazing.

He took his time with me, listened to my questions, and had thoughtful, considerate answers to my questions. I will be his patient for many years. He took good care of me and he will of you too. FYI - his office is very near Brown, Red and Purple line Belmont. Easy to get to.
