Your doctor gets 10 minutes with you. That's not enough time to answer the questions that actually determine whether you get better. The ones patients are most afraid to ask -- or never think to ask -- are often the ones that would change everything.

In this video, I'm going to answer the 8 most common questions patients bring to me after years of being stuck in the system, and give you a straight answer to each one.

❓ QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Can a foot doctor give you the wrong diagnosis?
Yes. Nerve conditions like tarsal tunnel syndrome are frequently misdiagnosed as plantar fasciitis. If no EMG, nerve conduction study, or nerve block was ever performed, your diagnosis likely was never confirmed.

Is regenerative medicine covered by insurance?
Almost never. Treatments like Wharton's Jelly, exosomes, and peptide protocols are cash-pay. But many patients find the total cost lower than years of repeated treatments that never resolved the underlying problem.

How long is recovery from minimal incision foot surgery?
Most patients return to athletic shoes in four to six weeks and resume running or tennis in 10 to 12 weeks. Traditional open surgery typically adds one to two months to that recovery timeline.
