I have been taking all of my Chanel, Gucci, etc shoes and handbags and belts to this vendor. At…read morefirst, he was a kind and attentive store owner. He did excellent work at a fair price. Something has changed and now he gets frustrated REALLY easy and has to be told instructions over and over and over again. He has had some of my items for a while now, and each time I come back either something isn't complete or has to be redone and I have to repeat the exact same instructions from the previous visit. I understand why some items have taken a while, but I know that he is not working on my other items in the meantime because he is "too busy". He is now openly expressing his frustrations with me when it is he who doesn't understand and doesn't write down or remember the instructions. And when giving the instructions I don't feel confident he understands them. While there is a language barrier, it isn't that. He doesn't like to "hear" what you are saying when he is frustrated. Which is almost every time I come to check on my items. I watch other people come into the store while I am there and he treats them like they are royalty. I feel like since I am a returning customer, who brings a lot of high end business to him, he should treat me the same or better! I have a lot more purchases that I was going to bring to him. I will not do this now. I will ONLY bring new items to him if I can't make it to Atlanta due to his customer service. Make sure he gives you a timeframe of when the items can expect to be completed and that he writes everything down and you should be fine, I hope. I will edit this review if his attitude changes.

After consulting with Emory - and them wanting to do a leg lengthening process - which basically is only 60% chance effective, and 5- major surgeries over the course of her life before she turns 15 - including breaking her femur bone in two places, inserting growth hormones, and putting her leg in a halo with a hospital stay of at least 2-3 weeks each time... and a cost of tens of thousands of dollars... uh, no! Second opinion from Children's Hospital - they say, let's do a prosthetic leg! When she was 1.5 years old, they made a plastic leg to slip over her short leg, at a cost of $13,000. Yes, $13K for a piece of injection molded plastic. She tried it for 2 months, and it was heavy, she lugged it as a toddler, and it hurt her foot which had to be pointed downward. I consulted my uncle who is a Chiropractor in Ohio, and he said he has seen lots of PFFD patients. He said the "normal" route is simply a custom shoe lift - and regular visits to the Chiropractor. DUH! So I called all over North GA, and was recommended this big hearted fellow named Jim Foley, whom many I called apprenticed under his guidance many years ago. He saw my daughter, and made her a first set of lift shoes when she was just shy of 2 years old. He was our angel in disguise! She just turned 6, and is on her 4th pair of shoes that Jim custom makes, at a cost of pennies compared to what Emory and Children's wanted to charge! Literally, she can run, jump, and be a normal kid. Praise be God, and thank you Jesus for Jim Foley! I cannot recommend him and his craft enough. His little quaint cottage up in the mountains says a lot about his personal care. If you want personal attention, let the master help you with any shoe problem you may have. 5 stars to my buddy Jim! God bless him! Todd
