| - I've put off writing this review about as long as I put off having my foot examined! I first saw Dr. Levine in October (?) after a few months of not dealing with the excruciating pain in the ball of my left foot. The day I called, I actually got a same-day appointment, and am really glad I did. My first visit to a podiatrist impressed me: there are x-ray and ultrasound machines on site and Dr. Levine used both to rule out any broken bone or nerve damage issues.
That day also brought me a short of cortisone, which Dr. Levine dropped into the top of my middle toe. Yeah, it hurt like hell. But the pain in the ball of my foot did diminish! The treatment called for 3 shots, but the second one did not bring relief and Dr. Levine did not push the issue when I respectfully refused the third - and I greatly respect him for that. What did bring relief were the custom orthotic inserts. I really hoped there'd be no difference between them and the $12.00 jobs at the drug store, but there is. And I feel a lot better when I use them.
I've never had any problems with scheduling here. The receptionists are professional and courteous, as is Dr. Levine himself. There was a billing error, which was cleared up promptly. The entire office is sparkling clean!
No complaints at all, though I would probably respectfully decline any further prescriptions from the compounding pharmacy they use. I appreciated the use of a coupon, which made the Rx either free or very low cost, but the cream just didn't absorb into the bottom of the foot and I'm kind of a traditional big pharma adherent until and unless an alternative reallyreally works.
I haven't had pain in quite a few weeks. And...I wore some high heels on NYE (just for a few minutes, honest!). In all, thanks for the great care, Absolute Foot Care!
