Patient Stories:

"Your solution to the problem, at first, seemed a bit radical to sever the joints on my second and third toes to relieve their pressure on the bottom of my foot. The pain is gone, the ulcer has healed, and with the new orthotic, I can step down with my foot flat onto the floor.  I believe the Lord used you to heal my foot after four years of suffering"   AEH, December, 2008
