| - I was scared to death about going to this place, but I was having some serious toe pain and wanted to get back in my skates! Surprisingly, I had the best experience I think I've ever had at a medical office.
I saw both Dr. Levine and Dr. Besinger, and both were exceptionally friendly yet professional. The doctors are also very prompt-- I probably only waited 5 minutes for all 3 of my appointments.
At my first appointment, Dr. Levine examined my toes and offered me 4 options, from surgery to do nothing. He offered his opinion only when I asked for it, but let me make my decision. I opted for the surgery, and he said he could do it right then or I could make an appointment to come back. I decided to come back, and was able to make an appointment for the next week.
For the surgery, I brought my husband, and everyone was very kind and no one teased me for needing a hand to hold for such a simple procedure. Dr. Levine went over the procedure again before doing anything, drawing on my toes to ensure we were on the same page. The numbing shots hurt like hell, but whatever they use to numb really works! I couldn't feel anything when he was doing the procedure, or for at least 6 hours afterwards.
Afterward the procedure, which he performed quickly and precisely, Dr. Levine gave me a printed after-care sheet and explained every step to me. The office also allowed me to split up the payment into two parts.
At my follow-up appointment, I saw Dr. Besinger, who works on Saturdays. He was extremely gentle with my toes and cleaned the wounds with precision. Since one of my toes is a bit inflamed, he asked me to come back after 2 more weeks. I really appreciate the high level of attention to after-care-- they really seem to care about my long-term results.
If you are in need of podiatric care, I completely recommend Absolute Foot Care Specialists. I am so glad I went-- my feet are thanking me!
