There was no rush or hurry.

Office staff very friendly and helpful. My left foot was causing me pain and was very uncomfortable. Dr. knew what my issue was and fit me for a shoe insert. After a week the foot started felling much better and after two weeks pain was gone. This was after trying other store bought inserts.

Dr. Shah is very personable and had a good idea what my issue was. He explained next steps and was very clear in doing so.
