Testimonials

What a nice newsletter...and by the way I was very pleased with the help you gave me.  My foot is feeling normal again.And though I just "picked you out of the yellow pages"' of the Desert Pages 2008  directory ( I liked that you'd been practicing  for many years and mentioned "senior care"), I couldn't have been happier if I had had a personal referral.  Know that I would recommend you to anyone looking for podiatry care.

On different occasions, two podiatrists diagnosed and treated me for hammertoes by removing the lesion.  In each case the problem returned after 3-4 months.

In addition to removing the corn, Dr. Danciger prepared, as I watched, a small appliance which was placed under my affected toe.  The hammer toe pain has been gone for over 4 months.

I can recommend Dr. Danciger as the best podiatrist I have seen.

My son Alan's accelerated growth left him with one leg longer than the other. We visited orthopaedic, chiropractic, and then finally a podiatrist. My son was tired of feeling ignored and looked forward to visiting Dr. Danciger as he spoke directly to him. Dr. Danciger was extremely thorough and attentive to Alan so that finally he felt his problem was being taken seriously. His professional manner and rapport with young teens is a definite plus.  After receiving orthosis, his problems were resolved.

I had finished 5Ks and 10Ks before and wanted to take on a half marathon. While training, the added mileage began to cause numbness and discomfort in my feet. I had tried various brands and types of running shoes but still the problems persisted. Finally, I decided to see Dr. Danciger. After just minutes of examination, he identified my problem, prescribed some simple home treatments and the necessary orthotics. I have since completed that half marathon and am in the midst of successfully training for a second thanks to my visit to Dr. Danciger!

I was very impressed with Dr. Danciger when he examined and treated my 11 year old daughter, Stephanie.  She was very nervous during her first visit but Dr. Danciger’s calm and gentle manner helped ease her nerves.  He took the time to answer all our questions and explained things in such a way that my daughter can understand.  She now looks forward to her follow-up visits with him!

I have been wearing some type of orthotics for over 15 years, starting at age 55 when I abruptly began dealing with bunions on both feet.  I have had a bunionectomy on one foot, but still wear an orthotic for both feet, to compensate for loss of arch support as well.  I’ve tried them all; including three different types fitted for me by podiatrists elsewhere, both full length and three-quarters.

Dr. Danciger’s recommendation this winter for his version was my latest.  To date I have experienced no discomfort, no matter whether I am wearing sneakers or formal shoes.  I am very, very pleased, and look forward to continued care from Dr. Danciger.

It certainly is a pleasure to write to you and your office staff expressing my thanks for your excellent service.  For several years, I have been restricted from jogging because of my foot problem.  The discomfort increased to the point where I had begun walking on my heel and unable to stand for any length of time.  You and I discussed my commitment to work at a scientific exhibit, which would require me to stand for intervals for over three days.  I was unable to complete the third day.  When I returned you agreed to take a more aggressive approach for correcting my problem.  Currently, I am out of the boot and back in to my more formal shoes without discomfort.  As a matter of fact, I am even jogging a little bit.

Thank you again for your excellent care.

My experience with foot surgery from start to finish was a positive one. It began when I noticed a lump on the side of my left foot right below the little toe, which felt like a little marble rolling around under the skin.  It was starting to be a bother and a bit painful. I first made an appointment with an orthopedic doctor, who highly recommended Dr. Danciger for a second opinion and surgery if needed. Upon my first visit to Dr. Danciger's office, I was met by a friendly staff.  The doctor took an x-ray and ultra sound and concluded it was a cyst.  I elected to have it removed. The surgery was done at Hope Center, it was simple, painless, and I felt very cared for with good instructions for the home care.  No down side, only wearing the boot for 2 weeks and in retrospect that wasn't bad either. I feel very confident in recommending Dr. Danciger to my family and friends.  I know I will be a return patient should I need it.

Today I want to talk to you about the health of our feet.  Since I am a senior citizen, we always took our feet for granted.  We just did not worry too much about them.  If they got swollen in the evening, just get them up in the evening and tomorrow you can do your work. Now what about fungus under one of your toenails?  I still remember some 20 years ago, that the Medical Doctors did not see a fungus under the toe nail important enough to be treated.  Now I know better. I went to see Dr. Harvey Danciger and this knowledgeable, caring Podiatrist spelled out to me what needed to be done.  The fungus is completely gone and my foot is normal again.

I have been in nursing all my life, I saw many people suffering with foot problems, which could have been prevented by going in time to the podiatrist.  Feet are very exposed and could pick up some real dirty stuff.  Since there are so many diabetics amongst us, they absolutely need to see the podiatrist before it is too late.  So please set up an appointment with Dr. Harvey Danciger.  The staff is very friendly and the doctor will discuss with you what needs to be done.  Doctor takes good care of your feet, and of your ankles as well.

This is how easily Dr. Danciger removed my ingrown toenail:

• First he numbed my toe with a liquid solution
• Then he injected an anesthetic-no it did not hurt
• Then he removed a very small portion of my nail. (the part that always grew into my tissue and caused so much pain) I felt only a tugging-no pain whatsoever
• Then he applied the chemicals that kill the root.
• A salve and bandage was applied-that was it

I went home and took it easy for the afternoon.  The next day I resumed my normal routine and the second day I played golf. The follow-up care at home was easy as well.  Each day I removed my bandage after showering.  I washed my toe with an antiseptic wash and applied some salve and another bandage.  I was sent home with a little kit for this easy care.  Dr. Danciger checked me after one week and again the following week-He is very thorough. The best part of all of this is that only a very small portion of my nail has to be removed to relieve all the pain.  I was very concerned about this because I have often been told that I have pretty feet.  After my surgery, they are still pretty.

Thank you Dr. Danciger
