Beware of Sarasota Orthopedic Associates!!

I am flat footed. I went here to find a good pair of orthotics to help with the pain in my feet from being flat footed and doing the everyday walking. The doctor spent only 5 minutes of his time with me and seemed in a rush. He prescribed orthotics ($500 out of pocket, insurance doesn't cover it) and told me I would have to schedule a visit for the fitting. I went back to get the orthopedics made. 2 assistants (not the doctor) made me walk on an electronic mat and told me they would be made in a few weeks. I received a call from the office stating the orthotics were in and ready to be picked up. When I picked them up, an assistant (not the doctor) gave them to me and said to come back in a few weeks to see how they are fitting. The orthotics at first seemed to help to relieve the pain. However, It's been only a year and now they are falling apart and have started to BEND in the heel area.

I decided to go to a different Orthopedic doctor. When I showed him the orthotics he stated I got an inferior, cheaply made product that was meant only to last a year or so. He also stated I received an inferior prescription. He stated orthotics need to be fitted with a 3 dimensional mold of your foot (he makes a mold of your foot with plaster). NOT a 2 dimensional mat that you walk on. He explained that this new technology of walking on a mat isn't as dirty or time consuming as making a plaster mold of your foot. That's why some Orthopedic doctors use the mat. However, It's not the correct way of fitting your feet with orthotics.

Now, I had to spend another $500 out of pocket (because insurance doesn't cover it) to get a correct orthotics prescription made and properly fitted to my feet. I wish I had done my research before I went to Sarasota Orthopedic Associates. You've been warned...DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!! Sarasota Orthopedic Associates isn't concerned about your well being, they are only concerned about how to save themselves money by passing inferior cheap products and prescriptions to their patients.
