A visit to Dr. Diamond's office is like no other Dr.'s office you've ever been to. After being greeted by the friendly and attentive staff, and filling out the requisite forms, I was able to begin the healing process in the open, welcoming space of this office. I went to Dr. Diamond's after I had 'tweaked' my left foot/ankle running -- the pain was so bad that I couldn't go up or down stairs! Once I got into the office, the first step was to be "walked," which means testing my gait by walking across a digitized pressure plate that allows both you and Dr. Diamond to see how you walk, where the pressure hits in your foot, and what needs to be done. Dr. Diamond personally reviews the results with you so you know up front what you're getting and why in terms of treatment. Each time you go for treatment, you are treated with several "modalities" which range from compression boots (which are almost like an air massage) to ultrasound massage, acupuncture, and even pilates. In addition, all of the healing is done in the common space, allowing the unique opportunity to share the healing process with other patients. One of my favorite parts is visiting with the other patients when I go for treatment! After my first visit I could tell that I was feeling better, and it didn't take long to be back at 100%! In addition, the custom-made orthotics I received are like being able to take the treatment with me. You can even refurbish the orthotics without having to buy new ones! Both me and my feet are glad that I found Dr. Diamond, his office, and his incredible healing talent. If you have foot issues, you won't be disappointed with a visit to this office!
Pros: Friendly staff, knowledgeable and compassionate Dr., excellent results!
Cons: Parking can be difficult, but the subway is one block away
