I LOVELOVELOVE Dr. Massaband! Because of my horrible feet, I gone to many different doctors over the course of the last few years. Let me tell you that I have found my last podiatrist, Dr. Massaband. As far as I am concerned, he is an angel. Four years ago I my feet were hurting so bad that they were curtailing my social life. No matter what kind of shoe I wore, within a couple of hours they were a burning uncomfortable mess. After years of wearing high heels I had developed bunions and hammer toes on both feet. I addition, I had developed a severe case of planters facetious and the bones in my flat feet had not healed properly after a previous break. I went to several specialist who prescribed orthotics, pain killers and arch supports. Neither of which worked. I literally could not walk and it was beginning to affect my employment. By the time I arrived at Dr. Massabands door, I was desperate for his help. He is a very kind and skilled professional, so when he advised surgery, I went for it. What choice did I have? I am so glad and I thank my lucky stars everyday! My feet are mending nicely and as motivation I have a pair of 6 inch heels as inspiration. I am sure that I will be wearing them this time next Xmas! I guess that once you have bunions, hammer toes are just a matter of time. Much to my surprise, the bunionectomy was not bad at all. Forget about all the horror stories about the pain and go see Dr Massaband before you get them!!! I have been to both the Encino and the Beverly Hills office. so if you see this post twice, you will know why.
