Penman Thomas G DPM Podtrst

Referred to Dr. Penman for 2^nd opinion regarding interior ligament that hadn’t responded to treatment despite multiple visits over 2 years with another podiatrist. I had to cancel first appointment due to inability to walk there. Office staff very understanding and helpful when i was ready to reschedule.
Dr. Penman confirmed diagnosis made by another podiatrist. After reviewing my Xrays and observing me walking, Dr. Penman explained what further treatment options existed; physical therapy; MRI; immobilization of foot and ankle…
But he suggested before trying those more expensive or unattractive options that i slightly change how i was lacing and tightening a foot brace i’d been wearing for over a year at the instruction of the previous podiatrist.
i did. And for the past two weeks i have been able to walk without being suddenly «crippled» by searing pain that caused me to hobble and put all my weight on a cane. This week i and my dog have enjoyed very vigorous brisk walks of up to 2 miles without any disabling pain.

One of the nicest doctors I’ve ever met. Very comfortable– he somehow made an ingrown toenail removal an enjoyable experience.
