Real Patient Reviews

My son’s pain was a 7 out of a 10 and very persistent. He was not able to play with his friends because his pain was so bad, but he is better now and never complains about his pain. He can walk and run with other children without any pain, thank you to Dr. Bonnie and her staff. They are so nice, and very pleasant.

I had constant pain that was a 6 out of a 10. I feel great now with no pain at all. The Doctor and staff are wonderful, and Dr. Bonnin is so kind, sweet and a darling. From the second you walk in that door you feel welcomed.

Dear Dr. Wishnie, Of all the medical doctors I have seen and most specialists too, your practice is the only one I can remember where both the receptionist and nursing staff were happy to be doing their jobs and communicated that to the patient through words and body language that the patient, in this case me I felt I would receive good care and the motto of physicians, "do no harm", clearly applied. The staff that I encountered in Hillsborough, Ashley- the receptionist, she has a great sense of humor and responded to me with great joy. Elaine the nurse was terrific and also very compassionate and kind. Last but not least was Dr. Schaeffer, he was smiling when I saw him and not laughing at me but with me. I told him of an injury of stubbing my toe with bleeding and he administered some kind of cream Silvadene, that immediately brought the pain to an end. Elaine gave me iodine to take home after that. So whatever else you need as a testimony, I will supply it. The testimonials on the website are great but mine was really about the staff and their friendly, happy, professional manner!

My pain was persistent. Walking was difficult as the pain was persistent especially wearing shoes. I have 0 pain, my feet are happy again as I'm back to work and normal activities, enjoying each day. Dr. Wishnie was very patient and caring in assuring that I received the best care and attention. Also, I enjoyed the staff and service provided.

My pain was at a 5-6 except brining my leg down, then it was a 7-8. Briefly, after surgery and once the cast was off, the tendon ached occasionally, but overall the pain is now minimal. The pain affected cooking, exercising, and driving. I feel good now! The pain is minimal and only first thing in the morning, even after vigorous exercise, the discomfort is only slight. I found the experience at Family Foot & Ankle Specialists very positive. They have a great staff who made the healing experience much less stressful!

I had been wearing uncomfortable shoes and my feet began to hurt, badly. Surprisingly, in what I believed to be a completely unrelated event, I also started to experience back pain. Dr. Wishnie realized that my pains were a result of my ill-fitting shoes. Without the help and knowledge of Dr. Wishnie, I would not have known the implications of wearing uncomfortable shoes and would still be living with extreme back and feet pain. Thank you, Dr. Wishnie for eliminating my pain while providing me with comfortable orthotics!

Dr. Wishnie's Patient

I had been suffering from severe heel pain. The pain was debilitating and could be described as a "9/10" on a 1-10 pain scale, or as one of the worst pains imaginable. For months, my abilities were limited. My heel pain made it impossible to walk for long periods of time. I am glad that I scheduled an appointment at Family Foot and Ankle Specialists for so many reasons. The staff was not only, kind and accommodating, but also very knowledgeable. After treatment, the pain in my right heel had completely disappeared! In my left, there was some slight discomfort, however the staff at Family Foot and Ankle Specialists provided me with foot exercises which I truly believe will relieve me from heel pain completely.

I had severe pain on my foot. My big toe was was an 8 out 10 for pain. It was very painful day and night. I had a hard time walking up and down the stairs in my house and walking during my breaks at work. I feel great!! The office personnel are wonderful, very friendly and helpful. I will definitely recommend my friends and co-workers to visit this office!

My first visit was with Dr. Waters several years ago.  She is very professional and pleasant.  She explained as she treated me that my toe nails had come off because of a fungus.  Years later I still see her on a regular basis.  We share the same love of pugs and I have seen her through two pregnancies.  I feel like she is family.   Every visit to the office I learn something new. The regular information that flows through the office, mailings and books ensures Family Foot and Ankle of an informed consumer. Kudos to all of  the doctors and office staff that make this establishment one you love to visit.  By the way the office staff are also professional and enjoyable.  Keep up the good work!

I was in severe pain- over a 10 out of 10. The pain was indescribable. I could not walk at all, I could for maybe about 2 hours but the pain was so bad. Now, Im feeling 100% better. I can do everything including getting pedicures! Yay!! Dr. Water's is a great doctor, she helped me through this whole process with great advice and great treatment to make my foot get back to normal :)

Dear Doctor Waters & Team at FFAS, I would like to say thank you for the responsive and professional treatment last week when I attended your offices in Hillsborough. The service was excellent and the personal touch by Doctor Waters was very much appreciated. You made me feel 'cared for' and gave me your total attention and as such I came away feeling reassured you both understood my condition and gave me full confidence in the treatment you prescribed. Very much appreciated. I also received your wonderful letter this morning. How refreshing to receive such a personalized note from a practitioner in the medical profession. A first ever for me here. It gave me the WOW factor! Your sincere caring approach to your patients comes shining through and believe me it is both appreciated and extremely reassuring that the personal touch is not lost in a profession that seemingly, at least on the surface, only cares about their priorities. Keep up the great work and I for one will be sure to spread the good word about your services. Sincerely, Tom Meek

My left heel had a lot of pain. It felt like I was walking with a stone in my shoe, and was very uncomfortable when waking up. I decided to get medical attention and Dr. Wishnie made me feel comfortable and said he will have me walking again with no pain. I put my trust in his good faith. From May 2002 to this present date February 2003, he was right. It took some time but it was worth it. The staff is also very pleasant, thoughtful and helpful.

I felt extreme, severe pain.  My pain was 11 on a scale of 1-10. As a result, I could not workout at the gym or stand for long periods of time.  Now I feel pain free like nothing was ever wrong. Everyone at Family Foot and Ankle Specialists was fabulous and I would recommend this practice to anyone. Dr. Wishnie is the best!

I was in severe pain and walking became very painful.  I work with children, if they accidentally stepped on my foot my pain was very severe.  Now, I feel much better. I can walk without pain.  The staff and doctors made me feel very calm and comfortable.  Having this operation done was a good thing for me to do. I would recommend Dr. Wishnie, and of course his staff, to everyone.  Thanks so much for making my life a better one.
