Our Approach
Care That Starts With an Accurate Diagnosis
Many foot problems share similar symptoms, so every visit starts with a careful exam and a clear explanation of what is causing your pain. Dr. Haspel always looks first for conservative solutions, such as custom orthotics, footwear changes, bracing and in-office treatment, and recommends surgery only when conservative care has not relieved the problem.
