Our Patients Say It Best...
Bernadette McIntyre plays golf nearly three times a week. Within the past year, though, she often found herself limping from hole to hole.
“The pain was in the back of my heel, and it was extremely painful whenever I was standing,” she says. “I could barely walk on the golf course.”
Because Bernadette enjoyed a pleasant and successful visit to TriCounty Podiatry several years ago, she decided to go back. Dr. Felix Esarey diagnosed her with tendonitis and a bone spur in her left foot. “I was relieved when he found something that could be treated because I assumed it was just old-age arthritis,” Bernadette says.
Bernadette underwent six weeks of physical therapy, performing an array of foot exercises on the floor and using state-of-the-art equipment to strengthen her feet. She worked alongside both of Tri-County Podiatry’s dedicated physical therapists, Mike Palma and Keri Brooks.
Today, Bernadette enjoys playing golf pain-free.
“I am walking around like a new person. Both Mike and Keri were great to work with and are both extremely caring and considerate. I cannot say enough good things about them. They introduced me to some very beneficial exercises, and I perform them on a daily basis.”
