Dr. Hernandez examined my foot; explained to me why and how my hammer toes are contracting and causing me to walk on the tips of those toes, causing calluses and pain, and gave me some sample crest pads, which I have been using, and finding that this simple solution is helping a lot. Thank you, Dr. H!

Was told "I can't do anything more for you"Not something a client wants to hear when they share with their provider that they can't perform their duties at work because of foot pain. Have been dealing with excruciating pain for over 6 months and provider didn't order X-ray or MRI. Feeling pushed off to primary doctor
