Levitsky Kenneth A MD

Dr. Kenneth A. Levitsky helped me with my foot and ankle injuries in a way that all of the other doctors I had seen could not. I had a soccer injury in 2005, which never fully healed. I saw many doctors, including specialists of varied kinds, approximately 10 in total. Each had helped, to a degree, but I still had enough problems to cause me to go on crutches and eventually into a wheelchair, when my elbow could not handle crutches anymore. I had seen approximately 10 recommended doctors. The last one I spoke to had been trained at the hospital for special surgery in NY and was considered the «best-​of-​the-​best» in the Bergen County, NJ area. He told me he thought the only hope for me, after the cortisone shots, orthotics, shock-​wave therapy, physical therapy, ultrasound, and the other treatments I had received, was surgery. He recommended Dr. Levitsky, as another doctor to consult, if I wanted another opinion. My podiatrist also recommended Dr. Levitsky and so did another doctor of mine. These doctors were completely independent of each other, so I figured Dr. Levitsky must be excellent. I went into Dr. Levitsky’s office in Fair Lawn, NJ, in November of 2012, in a wheelchair and he prescribed a cam walker for my foot and ankle, added physical therapy for both the foot and ankle, and general advice to let pain be my guide for how much I could try walking on my foot, while in the cam walker. After six weeks, he got me out of the wheelchair, onto a knee-​walker and after 7 months, I was walking 3×30 minutes a day, for a total of 90 minutes, without any assistance at all. I never needed the crutches, wheelchair or knee walker again, nor did I require surgery. Dr. Levitsky helped me in ways that even the most highly recommended doctors in my area could not. He helped me to overcome plantar fasciitis, tendonitis and arthritis. My experience with him is that he is an excellent orthopedist for foot and ankle problems!!!
May God bless those who read this and are looking for a great doctor.
