He gave me a detailed explanation of my condition and why my foot was hurting me so bad. He also explained why he thought that treating me with orthotics would be something good for me and he made me an insert for my foot which in a few days has given me a lot of relief for my pain relief I have not gotten in months almost a year. I've been in pain and within a few days I feel better with the insert that he made for me out of some foment tape I have never gotten such treatment nowhere else for my foot.

Dr. Krygsheld is kind and takes the time to listen to me and talk through options. He is more conservative in his care, opting for less invasive or aggressive treatments first when appropriate, which aligns with my own goals for my health. I appreciate that he did not immediately recommend more intense treatments before first ruling out simple ones.
