Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Nueromas found by using ultrasound
I cannot thank Drshandles enough. I was in so much pain in my big toe & the bottom of my feet. With his invention to inject & shrink tumors I was able to wear shoes again. Since moving to Georgia, I have had no luck finding a doctor to help me.

Didn’t get rid of my foot pain, he cured them.
After visiting at least two other podiatrist, both told me I had plantar fasciitis. As a last resort, I went to Dr. Shandles . With some poking around my feet, he found some hotspots that he called neuromas. He gave me injections and the neuromas dissolved in my foot pain that I’ve had for years is gone. The best podiatrist I’ve ever known.

Great! I had numerous neuromas in my feet. Over the course of about 18 months the neuromas were treated with shots. I am so happy to say he cured all my neuromas. I had about 5 of them between the two feet. I have been pain free from neuromas for 3 years!!

Told me he cured 20000 neuroma patients. There were studies on his website that seemed to verify this but they have been removed. I'm sure they were bogus. Said his injections would heal them. After injections feet began to be numb. No such thing reversing nueroma with injections, only killing nerve which it did. After injections was told to walk barefoot to next room on dirty floor for some snake oil electro magnetic treatment. Can't believe I fell for this quackery. I'm left with 1/2 numb, burning painful feet. Can't believe Florida let's him practice

Dr. Shandles diagnosed me with 2 Neuromas and Tarsal Syndrome which none of them found to be accurate. 2 Different doctors confirmed his findings to be incorrect via second Ultrasoud, MRI and nerve test. Unethical approach
