Does anyone know of a good specialist in Akron Ohio? I live close to Akron and need someone that knows what they are doing. Im having so much swelling and pain now. Thanks for your help.

Do you want to go to Cleveland? I'd call the Browns or the Cavaliers front office and see who they use for foot problems. Whoever it is will be good.

At this point I will go anywhere. Im in so much pain and cant live like this anymore. The PT is not helping. The ultrasound didnt work and yesterday they did a shock wave. She said I would feel some relief if it worked. And I felt nothing. Something is really wrong. Who would I call for the Browns foot specialist. What would it be under in the phone book? THANKS for all your help.

Lisa,
I found my doc by looking at the Chicago White Sox website (among others). It seems most of the team websites have a "front office" link or pull-down menu, and they usually have medical staff listed there, toward the end. I preferred to look online as I don't really like using the phone, but I imagine you could just call the administrative office and ask.

Good luck!

Exactly. Just call their offices and ask who they use. The websites don't always list the specialties, just that they use this or that doctor or group. In other words, it may list several orthos but not the ones who do joints or knees or feet.
