Carolina Foot & Ankle Specialists

I can get appointment that fit in my schedule. What I really like is that I am seen pretty close to my scheduled time. I had surgery for arthritis great toes December 2013. Dr. Saffer did x-rays and examined my foot and determined I had arthritis of both great toe joints. I am very active in both golf and bowling. Dr. Saffer explained surgical options and elected to clean out both great toe joints. Dr. Saffer called me at home to check on me (twice). Dr. Saffer followed me closely and reeled me in to make sure my feet were healing. My feet feel great and I am back to bowling, golf, and exercise. I like getting x- rays right in the office. Dr. Saffer shows you the x-ray and explains what he sees. When I call the office with a question Sally returns the call quckly! I have already recommended Carolina Foot Specialists to friends and family.

Reason for visit: Chronic plantar fasciitis. I am a professional baskeball instructor so my feet are extremely important. Dr. Saffer did a thorough evaluation and came up with a plan of action. Ultimately surgery was required, but we exhausted all other options first. Right after surgery Dr. Saffer called to check-in on me….After business hours from his house. The professionalism between Dr. Saffer, his assistants, is 2nd to none. The main difference is the genuine concern for their patients. You are not a number and they don’t “file in patients” and run through quickly. Every visit all employees have asked about job, travel, family, etc… More Dr. offices can learn from Carolina Foot Specialists on how to treat patients. If anything comes up with feet, Dr. Saffer and Carolina Foot Specialists is the first people I call.

Dr Brown’s Patient Testimonials

After 7 months of trying to heel plantar fasciitis on my own I decided to get help from Dr. Brown. After explaining to me what caused plantar fasciitis and showing me daily moves that aggravate it I realized I should of come to see him the first month! In a couple of months I was running again! I am training for a 1/2 marathon now and when my foot “warns’ me it needs a rest, I listen and remember the advise given to me by Dr. Brown. I look forward to my Bi-monthly visits.

Reason for visit: Severe foot pain when walking. Dr. Brown welcomed me on my first visit as if I was his only patient. I am pain free for the first time in years. I followed Dr. Brown’s instructions and after only three visits was pain free for the first time in years. To ensure I remained pain free Dr. Brown gave me clear instructions moving forward. I never dreamed I would have so much success in such a short time. Dr. Brown’s professionalism and patience is unsurpassed. In fact he should teach physicians how to interact with patients…… especially treat them as humans and not a chart. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Brown to friends and family.
