"I suffered with disabling heel pain for more than 18 months. Dr. Zuckerman tried every non-invasive treatment and therapy available, but the pain remained intractable. Dr. Zuckerman told me about ESWT. I am a medical writer, and I did exhaustive research on ESWT trials and use in Germany and Canada. Frankly, it sounded too good to be true, but I was convinced by the impressive clinical trial results that were published in journals and publications I knew and respected. Dr. Zuckerman was the first American surgeon qualified to perform ESWT. I was the second of his patients (and the second in the U.S.) to be treated with the procedure. My third ESWT treatment was the magic number. My pain disappeared immediately and over 18 months later I am still pain-free. Dr. Zuckerman was unfailingly patient, encouraging, and relentless in finding a way to ease my pain. It would be difficult to express in words my gratitude and respect for him as a surgeon and a friend." Lois S. "My experience with the ESWT Treatment was great. I was very
anxious but Dr. Zuckerman and his staff made me feel at ease. They
were very informative and patient and they made me feel comfortable.
The treatment was not at all painful. I did feel little soreness
the next day but nothing that Motrin couldn't get rid of. I had
suffered with heel pain for almost a year. I tried steroid injections
which were extremely painful and not successful. The pain continued
and even got worse. Millie "I first developed PF as an avid runner and tennis player over one year ago. I now finally feel as though I am on the road to success. I ran for the first time in one year last week while on a business trip. Not only did I not have any foot or heel pain, but I did not feel the need to ice after the run. I currently rate my pain at a "1"(1-10), even though I am not 100%. I am very close to a full recovery, but I continue to be very careful about my activity. I strongly urge all those who are considering ESWT treatments over surgery to make the commitment to ESWT, for up to three treatments. Chances are that you will need two or less. GOOD LUCK!" Gerrit B. "I had my second treament on March 20th. No more morning pain, no pain during the day at work. I am on my feet all day. I am an avid runner. Just starting to run a little (12 miles per week). As a non-runner I would say I am completely cured. The jury is still out whether or not I will be able to resume my normal routine of 55 to 60 miles per week. Overall I am pleased with the results and Dr. Zuckerman is an excellent clinician. I would highly recommend him to anyone." Walter "I had my treatment done with Dr. Zuckerman. I live on Long Island, NY and traveled to his office. He was always responsive to my calls and e-mails. He could not be more supportive, helpful and thoughtful. He spent a great deal of time explaining the treatment, answering my questions, and discussing prevention. What a wonderful experience to meet a compassionate person who provides medical care. I am grateful." Iris "What a first rate operation! My exam was as thorough as I could have imagined. My wife was there the whole time and both of us asked Dr. Z. all kinds of questions. He took all the time necessary to answer all our questions and to give us all the info he possibly could. I ended up not having ESWT because Dr. Z. feels I might have some osteoporosis. He ordered a Dexascan (bone density scan). I may need treatment for the Osteoporosis before moving onto ESWT in the future. Let me say again how much I appreciate the thoroughness of his exam. He looked at my MRI films and Xrays in detail, did a gait analysis (with and without shoes), examined my shoes and orthotics and did a physical exam of each foot. There is no comparison between this kind of exam and the typical doctor's visit. I would encourage anyone to see Dr. Z. if you have a serious foot problem." Steve P. "I was in terrible pain when my right heel spur acted up. For about 5 months I suffered with pain in the morning, pain in the evening. You performed ESWT. Pain was minimal. So far my heel feels 90% free of pain. I am so appreciative of all that was done to me. I was extremely satisfied with your bloodless operation (ESWT), which was a miracle itself. I sat back in your operating chair and was astounded. All you feel is a minute pounding and you hear a sound like that of two players hitting a ping pong ball back and forth. After the procedure you told me to relax for awhile. I am a hard head, never listen. It's remarkable, pain is almost non-existent. I will keep you informed of my progress and well-being." Howard M. "Exceptional! Everything was explained well. Very informative and down to earth terms. I can't give any suggestions to make it better because you can't improve on perfection!" Carol B. "I received excellent and courteous attention. I was told more about my problem than any other Dr. ever explained. Don't change a thing, it was the best care I have ever had from a Doctor!" Theresa M. "I was quite a bit nervous and you set my mind at ease. It is nice to know that some doctors don't just see you as a "patient" or "number", but as a person, you are that kind of doctor. I will recommend all my family and friends go to you because you are a GREAT doctor. Once again thank you for being so nice." Robert G. "He puts you at ease and you really feel like there is no one else out there that understands your problems like he does." Sherrie M. "I decided to have this procedure done because with surgery you are tied up for a long time and I would have missed a lot of work. Also surgery is more painful and healing from surgery is more painful." Richard A.
