A sudden sideways motion, rolling, twisting, or a misstep, can cause tearing of your ankle ligaments. There are seven main ones. If ligaments connecting the bones of the foot and ankles are overstretched or torn, you have an ankle sprain. There may be significant bruising and pain, but not always. These sudden injuries cause pain at the time they occur, which can continue for days, weeks or months.

Outstanding visit extraordinary service by Dr Robert Scott Steinberg, who examined my sons sprained ankle and not only told us what didn't happen but also educated us with why's and all possibilities with their symptoms and what to think of - if and when similar thing happens in the future. Both myself and my son left his office with a great state of mind and a joy. Amazing Dr and a great person to know! I would highly recommend.

I would highly recommend Active Foot and Ankle. Dr. Steinberg has been so easy and excellent to work with from scheduling to diagnosis and treatment of a bad case of plantar fasciitis. The doctor recommended custom made orthotics that have proven to be extremely beneficial in healing my foot while also allowing me to stay active during the process. (golf, biking and so on) Dr. Steinberg's years of experience came through immediately during my first visit and gave me a sense of confidence in his approach and recommendation to resolve the problem and it worked!

Dr. Steinburg came in on a Saturday when the office was closed and worked on my foot while saving me from a hefty ER bill. Not only did he come in after being closed but succeeded at getting out the painful splinter that was invisible in my heel. I thank him for his patience, determination, and his applaudable technique. I highly recommend going to him! He is a dedicated Doctor.

I typically don't give online reviews, but I had to add a review for Dr. Steinberg. He is an AWESOME doctor...one of the best I have encountered. Dr. Steinberg is not only extremely knowledgeable and thorough, but also has a delightful bedside manner. He takes the time to get to know his patients and carefully explains his diagnosis and recommendations for treatment in an understandable way. I had foot surgery about a month ago and have had a great recovery with minimal discomfort. If I have other foot/ankle issues in the future, I will never go anywhere else. Highly recommend!

I am on my feet a lot and have been to two other doctors to look at the foot pain I have been experiencing for years. The pain started radiating to my legs and I was worried it would spread. I found Dr Steinberg on Google so I went to see him. He was clear with his diagnosis and gave me a prescription for orthopedics. I have been using the custom shoe inserts for a few months now and the pain is almost gone!!! I wish I had found him sooner! Give him a try - you won't be disappointed!! .
