She recently started to offer Shockwave Therapy and so we gave it a shot and also added custom orthotics. I am so happy to say that it worked!! I am thrilled that I can finally get back to normal life and enjoy walking again. If you are having any kind of foot issue or pain, do yourself a favor and go see Dr. Schafer. We always look forward to our visits with her. She truly loves what she does and it shows in the way she cares for her patients. The entire staff is so welcoming and caring. I would give them 10 stars if I could!

There's a real lack of reviews online for good podiatrists, and so I decided to share my experience to help others who may be experiencing anything foot or ankle related: I'm 27 and literally 10 days after my 27th birthday I fell over my dog and broke some tiny bones in my foot. Of course, I went to the hospital in pain and was told I was fine - no breaks. Then I went to my week follow up and was told I was "babying it" and needed to start walking on it. None of these docs had solid reviews online, so I blindly trusted them until my large toe went completely numb. The pain was awful! I went for a third and then fourth opinion and was ignored, told my foot was fine after X-ray review, and then sent for an MRI. Doctor #4 didn't explain what happened to me or what to do. He then wrapped my foot and said to stay off it and to make another appt (which took 3weeks to coordinate) all the while I had no idea what to do. In comes my boss who recommends Dr. Kania!! My first visit he clearly saw there was an issue with the foot. He reviewed my MRI and had me do a standing X-ray (where you could see more). He explained to me that it's hard to see the breaks because of the layers of bone in the foot. Standing for the X-ray allowed him to see one break clearly and the other somewhat clear. He put me in a soft cast, wrote me a note for Lollapalooza so I could still attend in a wheelchair (after nearly 2.5 months of suffering, I finally found a really awesome podiatrist) Dr. Kania worked with me for 2/3 months helping me find solutions to attend my friend's wedding, Lolla, and used laser therapy to help reduce pain and swelling in the foot. We met nearly weekly until the X-ray showed I was doing better. He was excellent at explaining the X-rays, all my options, and coming up with solutions! Even after I was doing better, Dr. Kania and his awesome office assistant, Christine, were always available via phone to answer questions I had. I cannot recommend them enough! My last visit was in January because of swelling after working out maybe a bit too hard and wearing bad shoes. Christine worked to get me into the office the same week and Dr. Kania examined my foot carefully, took an X-ray just to be sure all bones were still ok and then saw it was doing well but suggested better shoes/not over exerting until I felt better. As a runner, spin cyclist, hiker I love being active and this injury was not easy. Dr. Kania and the lovely Christine really helped turn things around for me! I didn't like being broken (no one does) but they truly made the experience manageable. I'm healed up pretty well now and I owe it to them! I can not recommend them enough, and I hope this review helps guide ppl that way!

The office itself is a study in muted colors and can give you the impression it hasn't been redecorated in a while, which I would take off half a star for, but alas, I only have the option of one star and I'm not going to do that over his interior decorating. Honestly, the moment he starts asking questions it makes you feel way less weird to have someone fiddling around with your toes. He's friendly and was great about answering all my questions. We even got to chatting about hiking and cross-country skiing. I'm going back in a month for a check-in to make sure my new orthotics are working out fine, and I'm certain that if I have any more questions, he'll have a very thorough answer. Now if only I can work in a conversation about adding some pastels.
