On both occasions, Dr. Wellens has thoroughly shown and explained the issues that I had been having and what was involved in the surgical procedure. Dr. Wellens has shown me options I could choose and asked me to check out for myself online what choice of procedure I wanted to go with. It gave me the knowledge that I needed to make an informative decision. Up to, on the day of and after the surgery Dr. Wellen is always there, and with any questions you have, and the aftercare for the weeks to follow. If I could go higher-up in rating, then a 5, I would. The staff at Central Florida Foot & Ankle Clinic are helpful, efficient, and really kind. From the reception, the nurses, all the team there, the moment you walk in the door, you know you will be taken care of. I would more than highly recommend that whatever issues you have with your feet, CFF&A Clinic is the clinic to go to.

My phone was probably listening to me because as soon as I found out up popped a Groupon for laser treatment at Coast2Coast podiatry in Lakeland which is about an hour away from me. I am so glad I made the trip and bought the Groupon. Scheduling was a breeze, the only available on Friday, and the doctor was super nice and funny. He didn't make me feel dreadful, was really good about zapping away, and I did purchase the topical and shoe spray for the additional $50 total. Would highly recommend him to anyone in the same circumstance or just needing a podiatrist.

I scheduled a visit with Dr. Wellens on a recommendation from a friend. I had been experiencing…read moreworsening pain in the first joint of my big toe for about two years, and it had become so stiff that I couldn't bend it. This problem had started to take a toll on my active lifestyle: I had begun to dread long runs, I couldn't surf the same, and my pickleball game had gone downhill. Mentally, I was trying to accept this condition as part of growing older. Right off the bat, Dr. Wellens made me feel very comfortable and confident in her expertise. She examined my toe with X-Ray images and an ultrasound machine, discovering lots of bone spurs in the joint. She called my condition "turf toe," and told me I had a few different options for treatment. The one she recommended was shock wave therapy on the affected joint, along with an amniotic stem cell injection directly into the joint. The main drawback to this treatment was that it would cost $4,000, and my insurance would not cover it. After some deliberation, I decided to go ahead with the expensive treatment. Let me tell you: BEST DECISION EVER. I came back the following week for the first of three shock wave therapy sessions, and the stem cell injection. Dr. Wellens gave me a lidocaine shot in the affected joint, and the nurse administered shock wave therapy, which took about 5 minutes. She told me the shock wave therapy on my toe would cause major inflammation, and that my body would then send its resources to heal the area. She said it would also break up some of the bone spurs, and my toe would continue to heal for about 6 weeks. Immediately after the stem cell injection and first shock wave session, I could bend my big toe again. It was unbelievable. The doctor told me to take it easy at first, but I felt like running and jumping for joy. My toe was fixed! I couldn't believe it. I went back to the office for my remaining two shock wave therapy sessions, and my toe continued to gain mobility each time. After another ultrasound examination, Dr. Wellens concluded that 80% of my bone spurs are gone. I have absolutely no pain in my toe joint now, and I can bend it as much as I can bend the other one. I can even stand on my tippy toes.... Something I never would have dreamed possible. I am so grateful for the treatment I received from Dr. Wellens and her staff.... It was without a doubt WORTH EVERY PENNY!
