I’m giving 3 stars for friendly staff and a nice office. However, I walked in with more information and attempts at solving my 6 month right foot pain than I left with. I assume it’s probably planter fascia issue. First I saw a very pleasant assistant - who instantly pushed an mri before the doctor had even seen me. I refused as I feel the doctor should at least talk to me to find if it’s worth that massive cost. Then it was changed to a x-ray. Which I eventually agreed to as I was told it was included in the visit (we shall see). Come to find out that a functional X-ray is really the only way to see full spectrum of possible issues. I just got a standard one. The doctor was pleasant- offered no advice or asked me what treatments I had tried. I had to constantly ask the questions. Lucky I’m relatively medically aware so I could do so. He literally said “I don’t know what to tell you”. Offered no solutions, not even a list of exercises, OTC pain relief (until I asked), possible physio or anything. He did say the orthopedic insert sales person could come in and show me what inserts to purchase (despite me already having one which I showed him). He informed me, they may work, they may not .. at costs of $100 and more. His entire time with me was about 12 minutes. I left feeling like it was a complete waste of my time and money. I just felt they were pushing costly items that weren’t entirely necessary. I’m entirely sick of the medical community doing the bare minimum then charging you for the privilege.
