Michael J Valenza – Podiatrist

I was extremely disappointed by my appointment with Dr. M. Valenza. Aside from telling me new orthotics might help at $ 400, he suggested no exercises, no shoe recommendations, both of which are huge for giving a client improvement for my condition. My X-​rays from a previous visit (yes it was about 6 years ago) were no longer kept so we could not even see if the condition had gotten worse or stayed the same. I started to research the issue on my own and there are many interventions that can improve pain, increase mobility and function and he did not mention any of them. He did say I could try an elliptical instead of jogging. I basically went to You tube and google, as well as some great shoe stores like InStep and Karavel to get guidance. I even took in my shoes and he had no interest evaluating them. I have no idea what happened to this podiatrist but it was really poor care.
