    Dr. Stylski!!!! I think that is spelled right. I do not know if he is stilll with them or not. I haven't had to go in almost 3 years because he was able to fix the problem I had with my foot. I highly recommend them. PM me if you have any questions.

    I've been there to see Dr. Nemi. He's short, cute, funny and prematurely gray. He made me happy with several cortisone shots for this lovely "very large" heel spur I have. It's a total B when one can't walk. :-( I highly recommend the shot if that's what's needed... but I also have a high pain tolerance. Some can't handle it and usually never get a second.:?

    But... I have $350+ worth of custom fitted shoe inserts (that aren't properly fitted and) that aren't any better than the adjustable Dr. Scholl (sp?) one's I purchased at CVS for ... can't remember but they were less than $20 for sure. :evil:

    LOVED, LOVED, LOVED Dr. Nemi!! He is FANTASTIC! He did surgery on my foot a couple years ago and I had a wonderful result. He could also definitely moonlight as a stand-up comedian.:lol: I was not a candidate for inserts, so can't speak to that. My other foot will need to be done eventually and he's the only one I would consider to do it. :-D

    I absolutely second this. The inserts were a waste of money. I often hurt worse and in more places when I wore them. The cortisone shots were ROUGH but I had really good results. I did eventually require surgery on my left foot. I did the newer "ultrasound"/noninvasive surgery. I did not see immediate results but over time realized "hey, my foot doesn't hurt".

    What ever you need, I believe they are the doctors to supply it.

    The one I would recommend is actually a orthopaedic surgeon. Are you in need? If so, he is the best -by FAR-in the state.

    If you are approaching Medicare age stay clear of Carolina Foot Specialists. I was their paitient for several years and then when I became Medicare age they refused to see me. This has also happend to several of our friends. I can understand a physician not accepting new Medicare patients but to kick their patients out is another situation.
    Dr. Bruce Fawcett, 1514 Glenwood Ave, Raleigh (919) 829-0076 is great and he accepts Medicare patients.

    I see Dr, S as well. My $350 inserts are not taking care of my issue, but he says to come back when it gets bad enough to go through injections. I'm not there yet.

    Well the fix usually involves turpentine, a baseball bat, and fig newtons.

    Inserts to begin with to try and prevent any problems.
