You Do Not Have To Live With Heel Pain

I got vey creeped out being in typical salons after I had stubborn nail fungus. I decided to try the spa at the office and was surprised that it is like any other salon...only cleaner! I felt very safe at the salon and my toenails look great!

I had very painful plantar fasciitis in my right heel. I was not able to walk long periods of time without stopping to rest. I've been having the laser therapy treatments and I'm feeling much better. The pain is barely existent and only occurs after very long walks. I am very thankful I chose to use the laser.
~Jean

I had a painful hammertoe on my right pinky toe. it was very difficult to wear shoes or walk. Surgery was suggested to correct the hammertoe. The surgery was out-patient and went very smoothly. Everyone in the office were very caring and concerned. The follow up visits were very encouraging- everyone had an encouraging word. I can walk with no pain and I feel great!
~ Wendy G

When i first came to the office the pain was extreme. From 1-10 i would rate my pain as a 10. I basically couldn't do much of anything. my foot would hurt at all times whether I was working, standing, even when I was sitiing. I feel great now! I virtually have no pain at all. Now i can do everything! I live about an hour from the pffice, but have no problem coming here because I know they are the best!! Thanks a million
~Evelyn A.

The pain was shooting, persistent and the pain was the worst when I woke up in the morning. Walking was difficult and painful causing me to limp. My son loves baseball and I was severly hampered in playing baseball with him. Dr. Wishnie diagnosed my problem and explained that I would be painfree as long I "did what he said". I listened and he was right! I am virtually painfree! The staff was very accomodating and worked very hard to make sure I was comfortable with appointments and procedures. The orthotics the doctor prescribed have worked "GREAT" so far and I'm very happy with the results of my surgery.

The pain was very annoying, sometimes bad enough to interfere with walking, sometimes not so bad. I had trouble walkin, I got wider shoesto help. I kept hoping it would get better. I feel much better now. The surgery and recovery wasn't too bad. Since, i am back to "real" shoes today, I assume the healing will continue and I can drive again! I'm so glad this foot is done. I'm anxious to get the other foot done!

My right heel was horrible! I tried various treatments without success. Finally, laser treatment was recommended and was a success!! Driving was always a pain, literally at the end of my work day I could barely walk. Now after treatment, life is good! I am 95% better! I highly recommend both Physical Therapy with Tiffany and Laser Treatments. They are the best! Thanks Dr. Shah and Dr. Wishnie.

~Renne S.

I had severe, persistant pain. I couldn't walk or get things done around the house. Now, after treatment, my feet don't hurt. I can walk around our new neighborhood and we can do our regular zoo visits this spring!

The plantar warts were persistently painful and deep. The office was great. I feel relieved, the warts were getting so large and starting to bother me when I walked. I am a new person!

“I have been taking a vitamin mixture that was custom designed to meet my body’s growing needs for a year. I recognize a significant difference in how I feel and look. I am an avid runner and demand a lot from my body so I need a supplement that can keep up with me. This year I completed my first 5K marathon in a personal record and I know my custom cocktail had a huge hand in that success.”

~Dr. Peter Wishnie

Ever since I have started taking these supplements, I have not have ONE sinus infection. I feel so energized and the bars taste so good!
Susan, Watchung

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!
~Lucinda G.

My pain level was a 10 for over a year. I could not take long walks, run, play sports. I was completely limited- being such an active person. I had CRYOSURGERY- it saved me! I feel great and am back to doing the things I love. I love Dr. Waters, Dr. Shah, and all the staff. Everyone is so friendly and professional. I would recommend this staff to all- Joan is awesome!

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!

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

My pain was at 6 out of 10. Walking even short distances caused pain. The bunion on my left foot caused pain when walking. After visiting Family foot & Ankle Specialists, I am able to walk longer distances with little or no pain; I am still in the healing process.

~Jacqueline, Dunellen, NJ

P.S. Bunion surgery does not have to be painful...check out our video!

I have heel spurs and was in terrible pain. I have tries everything, orthotics, injections and nothing worked. Then I had shock wave therapy and now I feel great. Dr. Wishnie is so great and the staff is even better!

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 limitations I experienced from my foot pain was that I was stuck sitting around the house all day not being on my feet. Now, i feel great! I've always had wonderful experiences in the office,; I am able to work all day without pain. I also get to go to car races and a lot of walking, and it feels great knowing that there will be no pain. The doctors here do a great job for their patients.
~Peter Dutko

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.
~ Greg Heim 10/1/09

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.

From,

Malti Patel

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.

From,

Lois Bryant

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.

From,

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 persistent sharp pain whenever I first walked in the morning and whenever I tried to exercise (run or jog). I am an avid runner and the pain eventually became debilitating that I could no longer perform at the level I was accustomed to. I feel great now and am experiencing no pain. I'm back to running 20 miles / week and plan to gradually increase distance and speed. Before having ESWT treatment I did have a cortisone shot months earlier but only had minor/ temporary relief. With ESWT I experienced no pain after 1 week and have been pain free for 2 months so far."

- Jeff Grimm

"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!
