Sandy Gilles2023-11-21They diagnose the foot problem, and recommend treatment. They tell you "what the problem is" .. or WHAT the problem is NOT. If you have Medicare, you might want to sked appointments between 9am & 3pm so that Medicare pays for the session. Otherwise, you pay first, then get reimbursed later.
Erin F2023-10-20Dr Asima was extremely professional and friendly, making an uncomfortable procedure as comfortable as possible. I would highly recommend A Step Ahead for any foot concerns!

Elizabeth Rasmussen2023-09-01I work in health myself. Never putting myself first. After 16 years since my last Podiatry appointment I thought it was about time for me. I did my google research to find the best. Lucky me I struck gold in meeting Brendan. I am most impressed with the care and understanding Brendan and his lovely staff gave me. If you want the best foot care. I recommend you see Brendan. So happy after my appointment. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Common Podiatry Questions
How do I fix heel pain?
Sometimes heel pain can be remedied by footwear changes, including increasing the wearing of footwear, which is important. Also important is to address foot posture problems. We use the latest technology like shockwave therapy, to address your pain and discomfort.
We can treat soft tissue that is damaged and help you be game ready.
Can my heel pain be fixed?
Yes, Your heel pain can be fixed!
Heel pain can be difficult to fix; however, with a combination of therapies, your heel pain can be resolved. We not only address the structure of your foot but also strengthen the soft tissue structures in your heel! This approach is an important part of resolving and treating the pain that is associated with this horrible condition.
Many well-meaning therapists miss this in their handling of this condition.
