MJ – Tendon Patient

Dr. Harold Gruber worked wonders during surgery on my trashed tendons. The pain finally became terrible beforehand and I had a hard time walking on the foot. Dr. Sandra Hudak also worked with me originally and helped quite a bit. Dr. Gruber performed the surgery because his office was closer to my home for any follow-up appointments.

The day after surgery I could tell and feel the relief. The original pain was gone. After about 7 weeks I was weight bearing on the foot and it felt great. I had a few questions before and after the surgery and Dr. Gruber was always available at any time. He was very helpful to a “sort-of” compliant patient. The staff was always friendly both on the phone and at my follow-up visits. They made this ordeal very bearable for me.

Smaller medical offices like Tri-State Foot & Ankle Center know how to treat their patients. They treat their patients not as a number but as a person and take the time, no matter how many questions you have, to answer them so that you feel and are comfortable with your procedure.

Thanks so much to Tri-State Foot & Ankle Center’s staff for making this truly easy and painless. I recommend anyone who needs a great podiatrist to give Tri-State Foot & Ankle Center a call and get in there. You will not be sorry you did.

Thanks guys!! Awesome. I would recommend you to anyone and I will!
