A previous podiatrist wanted to slice me open. ""How can I get you into surgery today?!"" Dr. Goldman examined my feet much more thoroughly including measuring range of motion of the toes. He said we should try orthotic inserts and check back in a year. Well, six months later, my bunions which had hurt like hell for going on ten years are nearly pain free. I'm from a pain level of 10 to a .368. Certainly I don't need surgery. The guy's old school competent and really knowledgeable. He has photos on his wall of several athletes in mid stride that he must have helped as much as he did me. Screw that scalpel-weilding other Dr.
Pros: Conservative treatment that worked
Cons: No drawbacks
