I highly recommend Dr. Shalev. I came in with severe heel pain. It felt like I had been hobbling around in pain forever. He examined it and did some taping to see if it gave relief. This way he would know if orthotics would help. Then he taught me stretches. When a week of that did not help he gave me a cortisone shot and referred me to physical therapy. I also started wearing orthotics. Within a few days the pain was gone! I really liked how Dr. Shalev was very open about causes and options. He was very honest and straightforward on outcomes, which I appreciate. He also answered all my questions and was extremely patient. I also appreciate how he tried the less evasive route first, but quickly increased his aggressiveness at treating when necessary. I would definitely go back. He is a very caring Doctor
