I run three miles everyday and during the winter I would get numerous cracks in the thickened heel of my right foot.  My treatment has included a half sock on the foot with a softening material (Visco Heel So Soft) which i put on every night.   So far, my heel has been much softer and I have had no heel cracks this winter.  I am pleased with the results of this treatment.

I had persistent, shooting pain.  Walking was difficult and exercising was limited.  I had great results from the physical therapist.  My experience with the office was professional and positive.  I feel Tiffany Little made a big difference in my progress.  Tiffany was pleasant, knowledgable, and worked with me to reach my current success.

My pain was an 8 out of 10, I couldn't walk long distances.  The ORTHOTICS work wonders...Thanks Dr. Wishnie!

I had a painful hammertoe on my right pinky toe.  It was very difficult to wear shoes or walk.  The doctor suggested surgery to correct the hammertoe.  The surgery was outpatient and went very smoothly.  The doctor and everyonw in the office were very caring and concerned.  the follow up visits were very encouraging- everyone always had an encouraging word.

Five months after the surgery, my toe looks almost completely normal. I can walk with no pain and I feel great!

~Wendy, Bridgewater, NJ

I injured my ankle at work.  i was refered to the office by the E.R..  Surgery was performed on my left ankle.  I am very happy with the progress and the staff was great as well.  I am very thankful fore all of the staff, job well done!

~W. Davidson

I had persistant pain.  i am a diabetic and don't feel much pain in my feet so on a scale 1-10 I'd say it was a 5.  I couldn't do housework, walk, even driving was difficult.

I was very relieved when my ulcer finally did heal and I have 0 pain.  Thank you Dr. Wishnie for helping for my ulcer to heal. I am so glad I didn't need any fot surgery!

~Patricia, No. Plainfield, NJ

I had numerous problems with my right foot starting with plantar fasciitis, ingrown toenails, severe arthritis in one toe and a neuroma.  they all were happening at the same time and I wasn;t able to walk properly or without pain for a year.  thanks to Dr. Wishnie and his persistence he was able to cure each problem one by one over a few months.  Now I am able to walk normally, without pain, which now enables me to walk for exercise.   I never thought I would be able to walk properly again but the good doctor has solved my problems and now I am also starting to lose weight because i am bale to do exercises walking with no pain.  More importantly, I can walk 18 holes of golf, which was impossible for the past year.  Dr. Wishnie has put a smile back on my face.  Thank you so much!

~Ron Nies, Dunellen, NJ

The pain was severe at all times.  I couldn't walk when i was in pain.  i feel very good now, would give a rating of 10 out of 1-10.  I would tell all of my friends what a great doctor I have!

~Michael, Scotch Plains

I began coming to the office because of a bone growth on my right great toe.  i couldn't get it into the shoe.  After surgery, I now can wear dress shoes and feel much better.  The entire staff were friendly and professional.
Thank you

~J. Scott

The pain was persistant.  I couldn't play with my kids, lift weights, heavy objects or put weight on my wrist or arm.   It is much better now since I went to Physical Therapy at Family Foot & Ankle Specialists.  If the pain returns I now know what to do to relieve it.

The pain was severe, persistant, and defiate.  I couldn't walk at all without using a walker and the pain was excruciating; bringing me to tears.   I feel great now.  I can finally walk without pain.   Everyone in the office is so nice and I thank God for Dr. Wishnie.
~ Jamie Ferreira   10/12/09

I had terrible bunions and hammertoes.  My feet looked deformed.   I could not wear certasin shoes, boots, and sandals.   Now, I have beautiful feet; Dr. Wishnie and his staff were great!
~Debra

My heel pain was at a level 8 out of 10.   I had great difficulty walking.   After my consultation I had X-Rays and Cortisone shots.  I was given a brace and biofreeze.  After a couple of days, I was able to walk again.   Now, I have my orthotics and my pain is at a minimal, maybe a level 1.   I am very satisfied with my results!
~ Meredith

My pain was persistant, an 8 out of 10.  I couldn't walk or dance or even exercise.   Now, I can walk without pain, dance and even exercise.   I feel the best I've felt in a long time.  I'm so happy!
~ Agnes

The pain was persistant; probably a 6 out of 10.  U had heel pain from achilles tendonitis.  I couldn't walk, run, or play.   I have used the stretching exercise that Tiffany (the physical therapist) recommended and it really helped!\

I was suffering from a painful ingrown toenail. I saw my primary doctor, who contacted Dr. Wishnie. I was seen right away (within 15 minutes) and Dr. Wishnie took care of my toe. He also called to follow up, which I appreciated. My toe feels great thanks to the great care I received. Thank you Dr. Wishnie!

I had a large lesion, which was very painful for many years. One visit with Dr. Wishnie and it was almost gone. The pain was non-existent by the third visit.

Thank you Dr. Wishnie. When I first came to your office I could barely walk in the morning and I refused to have another shot in my heel. Since I have had ESWT my pain level is gone and I can now exercise again. Thank you again.

Hip Hip Hooray! I am back on the dance floor six nights a week again and feeling no pain. A the end of each evening of dancing experienced excruciating pain on the ball and toes of my right foot. This pain lasted for hours.

In the interim I had visited several specialists, but to no avail I was referred to Family Foot and Ankle Specialists. Dr. Wishnie diagnosed my case as neurona and treated my foot with 5 chemical injections (1 per week). At the end of the prescribed fifth injection, I was cured.

Dr. Wishnie, you are my savior and hero.

Shirley (Cris) De Fillipo

Dear Dr. Wishnie:

I want to thank you for all your help. My feet feel terrific. I haven't had any pain since the orthotics were put into my shoes. It's wonderful to be able to walk with no pain. Thank you, again.
Sincerely,

Maryann Cook

Dear Doctor Wishnie and Staff, We are writing to you today because we want you to know something. And today its not something you often hear from people in general.

It's simply that we are extraordinarily happy that we chose, you all to be Rose's helpers, to get rid of the pains in her left feet. Quite frankly, we think it is another miracle in our lives.

You see when we first came to you, Rose was racked with pain in her left foot and her right foot also. Bob was racked with frustration because there didn't seem to be anything he could do to help Rose. Now everything is 180 degrees different. The biggest part of the pain is subsided. The inadequacy and lack of help frustration has dwindled to almost nonexistent.

The betterment of the Claytor ' s is solely due to the enthusiasm and expertise of you, Dr. Wishnie and your highly qualified staff. From the onset, we mutually noticed the air of togetherness, the attitude of singular goal and the general feeling of being welcome.

Again, just let us say how glad we are to have found you and your staff. It is a privilege to know you all.

Sincerely,

Rose J. Claytor

"I had sharp shooting pain in my left foot in walking and constant severe ache in my right. Everything I did was painful and I was miserable and cranky with it. After the X-ray and the injection within a reasonable amounnt of time I was 99% better. If I have any more foot problems I know where to go. Thank you Dr. Kosofsky!"

- Barbara Lee

"The pain was so severe. It was difficult walking, even resting I wasnt comfortable. All normal activities even walking to the bathroom at night were painful. The surgery was quite tolerable and Dr. Shah knew how to keep the pain to a minimum. After healing and some physical therapy the pain is gone! My daily crazy activity level is back to "normal".

- Susan Allen Scerbo

"I had been through cortisone shots and ultrasound without relief. My activities were limited as I could not stand for any length of time. I was in constant pain. I am now starting to walk again and my pain level is approximately at a 2 or 3 off and on. Its no longer constant or taking over my life. Although I needed 2 more treatments, I feel they were extremely beneficial."

- Barbara Ziminski

I had been suffering with severe heel and ankle pain until I was diagnosed with Tarsal Tunnel of the foot. I had been to 2 Podiatrists who told me I should resume physical therapy and injections. Three months of treatments and I seemed to be getting worse so I went to a different foot and ankle specialist. One doctor told me that I should think about surgery. Well, surgery is only about 50% effective or may not work at all.

Then I heard about Dr. Wishnie through a friend who was getting treated for a neuroma with cryo surgery. She could not believe the improvement in her foot. So I decided to meet with Dr. Wishnie. We decided on cryo surgery mixed with injections. During all of my treatments Dr. Wishnie was kind, compassionate, and extremely positive. His staff was also very kind. There are not enough words to express my gratitude for Dr. Wishnie's help. It has been 4 months since I have done the cryo surgery and my foot is back to normal.

On a more personal note, Thank you, Dr. Wishnie for giving me back my life. I can work again! I can stand at work and BEST of all I can play with my son and dance with my husband again!
