A Very Positive Experience....

[Mekong Bob]

FolkGuitar, a very good and informative post. Although I take on board what other members have to say re qualifications and the like I have to agree with what you say in relation to a persons experience and getting the job done. To use the old cliche (Albeit a catering term) the proof is in the pudding.

You were simply stating that you had a very good experience with this guy and that your feet are a lot better for it. I am happy to take that as your own personal recommendation, should I ever need the service of a podologist/podiatrist then I will likely seek out this person.

Each to their own I suppose and some people prefer qualifications over experience. During my time in the Army I met some very qualified personnel, however not all of them were that bright when it came to what I thought to be common sense. Perhaps the Army wasnt the best place to find that???

Anyway,,,,, good to see a positive post and glad to hear you can walk easier now.

Sorry but once again, please do not confuse a Podologist with a Podiatrist. A Podiatrist is an M.D. (D.P.M.) who is licensed to perform surgery including amputation of toes, joint fusions, etc.

Elektrified is absolutely correct. In the USA, podiatrists (D.P.M.) are graduates from one of only seven schools of podiatric medicine, and Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine is ranked as the best. Our family has always preferred podiatrists for any foot & ankle problems.

A Very Positive Experience....

Always expect a bit of cringeworthyness from this type of (see, not all the natives are completely useless) thread...

...except this wasn't about Thais. It was about a German foot care specialist. Is it OK if we still cringe?

Absolutely correct...

... but having absolutely nothing to do with the subject of this thread, which is a very positive experience with a pedologist.

"Podology" See Post 11 above. I think there was an inadvertent misspelling. "Pedology" is the study of soil.

Then, of course, if you walked around barefoot in the garden...!

Mods, please be so kind as to close this thread. Once it gets to the point where spelling errors are more important than subject matter, the plot has gone astray.

The OP has posted his (positive) experience and the topic is now going around in circles see no point in keeping it running.
