After seeing other podiatrists about my feet, it only took Dr. Mesner two minutes to tell me what was actually wrong with my right foot. I'm so happy to have gotten a diagnosis.

What else would you like to say about your experience?
Dr. Mismer gave me a three-page handout of exercises that I could do at home to strengthen my shoulder, but no one instructed me on the procedures that were listed in the three pages. I would have liked to have had a little bit more guidance on how often I should do them and just how they would help me. Anyway, I would have preferred a little bit more interaction as far as the instructions that I was sent home with. That's all I have to say. Otherwise, the experience was very good and I appreciated Dr. Mismer and I would certainly recommend him. Thank you.
