I had a lot of pain in my right foot when I was walking, sleeping, no matter what I was doing. It was interfering with everything and really bothering me. I visited Dr. Reifer and after i briefly described the problem, he immediately explained, in detail, that I had a Morton's Neuroma.

Dr. Reifer saw me within a few minutes of my arrival, and he gave a preliminary assessment of my issue right away. He was very clear about what he wanted to do and why, and made sure that I understood and agreed to the minor procedure. When I became anxious during the procedure, his assistant was supportive and talked me down. I highly recommend Dr. Keifer and his staff.

Was able to diagnose my foot pain, explain me what the problem was and gave me choices to choose. SIice my pain was preventing me from sleeping and walking, I chose a more aggressive choice. (Injection) He is down to earth, not snooty, and made me laugh to ease the tension I usually have in a medical office setting. I stronglt recommnend him.
