I’ve been dealing with plantar fasciitis, which basically means my feet were a total mess back then.
X-rays already showed some deformities in both my feet and my shins, so I really need someone who specializes in that specific area.
It’s not a formal recommendation and doesn't work with insurance, but just as a heads-up—someone suggested the Ribnjak Clinic and Dr. Smith. When I booked, I specifically requested him. I went in for my first appointment because of knee pain and my foot rolling inward (it's not flat feet, my foot just collapses inward). Of course, I ended up seeing a different doctor instead, which I wasn't told since it was my first time there, and he just told me everything would settle down once I hit 40 or 50. He checked my knee with an ultrasound, but didn't bother looking at my foot or the way I walk. I paid a ridiculous amount for such a joke of an exam $100.
