Dr. Gorman was perfect. He had great "bedside manner" gently communicating, asking my permission to be touched, explaining things well.
He had an old xray machine in his office hallway so I didn't have to go out for xrays and come back for another visit, and he didn't charge much for the xray. He showed me the xray, and made drawings on paper to show me exactly what was happening with my foot.
He gave me four options for treatment, from less involved to more involved.
I think I will go ahead and get surgery from him, I trust him and feel he knows his stuff.
He is a slim man with some gray in his wavy hair, probably in his 50s. He mentioned his wife and kids as examples of foot situations, which I like to hear, to know he is a real person with a family..
He is a runner, like me, and had good advice for what kind of running is good and not so good for my condition, what kind of shoes, what kind of exercise I can do during my recovery.
Oh, one more thing: he recommended orthotics but he did not try to upsell me any, he sent me to Summit Hut to get mine. Isn't that genuine?
The staff management was average. I did not like being asked my SSN and the SSN of my wife and dependents on the form...
The physicians assistant Diane was very good and patiently explained the forms, costs and so forth.
