I was very pleased

Thank you

Good

While the doctor was friendly/chatty during the visit, It still seemed very rushed. I felt that I was given a "one size fits all" treatment plan. I told her that in the 2 weeks between x-ray, diagnosis, and seeing her that day that I'd already made progress in treating the plantar fasciitis, she seemed to dismiss that out of hand. The boot is the answer for everyone it seems.I knew that I had to stop my morning walks but forgot to mention 3x/week swimming and 2x/week Pilates. When her time was us (!) and she left the room, the PA was fitting my boot and I told her I'd forgotten. She left the room, yelled down the hall "How about swimming and Pilates?" The doctor yelled back "no." She didn't return to speak to me and learn more about exactly what my Pilates workout entails, didn't ask about the swimming. Just a blanket "NO." I was upset but didn't respond authentically, should have made a bigger deal about it, but didn't. Once home, I had questions about the boot which nobody had addressed. The office really needs to provide a simple, PRINTED page of FAQ's for patients; (What is the function of the boot? How long should you wear it each day? Should you limit walking around the house? Should foot be elevated when seated? Is cold water soaking of the bare foot a good idea?, Etc. Etc. Etc.).
