This review is also for Al Ghamgosar, who runs this practice. I came in as a new patient for my right ankle, which had been sprained multiple times throughout years of sports and never recovered correctly. After another sprain, my ankle was in pain just from walking and lying down, which was terrible, since I enjoy working out daily.
I was diagnosed by Dr Ghamgosar with ankle instability, and was able to schedule surgery quickly to resolve it. My surgery was the Brostom procedure or lateral ankle ligament repair. The surgery itself was fantastic and easy and I went home the same day. I recovered fully after about 3-4 months. The first 1.5 months were indeed terrible as I couldn't walk or stand and had to live in a cast even when taking showers, but that was expected before the surgery. Now I can walk, jump, lift, and run without pain or problems. It's not like the surgery undid time and now it's exactly the same as if it were never sprained before - sometimes I can feel the difference between my ankles (not pain - just difference in terms of flexibility and strength), and I do have a very faint scar in the area. But overall, my life quality has shot up 110% since the surgery, and sometimes I even forget I had the surgery since I'm pain-free and can do any physical activity involving feet without problems. I am very grateful and will recommend Dr Ghamgosar to anyone who needs a podiatrist.
