Sorry Markby Anonymous (no login)Mark, I too a very happy,successful, and well trained DPM would be concerned if I read this site as a lay person. This site is controlled by a handful of failures of the profession. Their goal is to poison the well to somehow get even. Many no longer practice and would probably be unsuccessful even if they had gone to Harvard Medical School. As for your comment about going to an orthopedist that's your choice and perogative. There are some very good Orthopedic foot surgeons but there are also some very bad. Podiatric ankle and foot surgeons also come in all skill levels. My advice is to research any doctor you see since degree means nothing. A large percentage of my complicated reconstructive surgeries are referred by orthopedists and I have helped train orthopedists here and abroad. 3 of my residents who have graduated in the last 2 years have joined orthopedic practices to do all of their foot and ankle surgery. To the Doom and Gloomers, I have said this a million times when you post on a forum open to the public you create more problems. You mislead the public, instigate lawsuits, and give our competitors information to use against us. Other professions choose to solve/ complain in private. Those of us who care in podiatry do the same. Your behavior and unprofessional approach may explain some of the reasons for failure. My opinion from IP address 64.12.96.200 Goto Forum Home |
