Family member saw Dr. Sabin years ago and we were satisfied with his treatment, which is why I chose to see him regarding a painful arch. As previous rater indicated, received a minimal exam, a wrap, the same preprinted list of shoes to buy. The callous he scraped was no better after the treatment. Quite disappointed and for that,my insurance was billed $$$$, including $50 for the "strapping" of my arch with coflex, which is probably a few dollars at retail. Sadly, it is ALL about the insurance now. Looking for someone who still has passion and integrity in their practice.

very personable, but not helpful at all. Left Big toe very painful, he diagnosed it as arthritis.I wonder why thereis no arthritis anywhere else. I feel it must be a hairline fracture, and am hopeful he will give me a prescription for an xray without charging my insurance company and me a second time.I guess doctors get complacent when there is so much easy insurance money.

As a 27 year old active male, I went to Dr. Sabin for help with running-related foot problems. He barely looked at my feet and I felt like he was just reading his diagnosis (if you can call it that) out of a text book from 1964. He told me that the only solution to my problems would be to not run anymore with no analysis of my gait and extremely minimal analysis of the foot structure. He then charged my insurance company over $200 for essentially filling out a checklist that included a calf stretch and list of aftermarket shoe insoles. No wonder our healthcare system is in shambles.

Personable and easy to talk to. Very helpful for my sons problem. Was actually seen earlier than my scheduled apt.(a first for me) and the office staff was very pleasant!
