I was not surprised that at my first visit he offered a cortisone injection. I hear that is what he always does. It did not help, but I knew there was a 10% chance it wouldn't. I also knew I needed more than an injection, but at my first visit I was told wearing a brace or getting an X-ray was not needed.
Second visit, when my foot was worse, he offered another cortisone injection, even after I told him the first one didn't help and actually made me far more painful the following day. I told him I wanted an X-ray to rule out a fracture, and to discuss a brace or some sort of immobilization

One word, AWESOME! I've suffered for over 50 years with ingrown toenails & my friend referred me to this doctor & he ended my suffering. He is calm, kind, friendly, thorough, knowledgeable & answered all of my many questions. His staff is friendly & helpful. If you're having foot issues, I highly recommend making an appointment with Dr. Fjerstad. Your feet will thank you; mine did. 😊
UPDATE 8/27: I had some questions & concerns after my initial & follow-up visits. The doctor & his staff were kind, helpful, understanding & resolved everything quickly. Definitely highly recommend.

Dr Fjerstad and his staff offered full, skillful services with professionalism. Their knowledge was incredibly helpful- from billing to options for the pain in my feet. I had gone to another local group and the options for a full recovery were never mentioned- Dr Fjerstad offered hope...and viable options.

I went to Dr. Fjersad after I was having extreme foot pain for over a year. I was diagnosed with a collapsible arch and my previous doctor had made insoles and I had tried them for 8 months with no relief. After that they just gave up and said they couldn't do anything more. I was a healthy person that was now limited by foot pain. Thankfully I went to Dr. Fjerstad and he remade my insoles correctly. After one injection and the new insoles I have been absolutely pain free for 6 months. So thankful I went to Dr. Fjerstad.

My wife went to Dr Fjerstad for orthotics. She was so pleased, I decided I should also go to him. My orthotics are over 25 years old. He looked at them and immediately pointed out some problems. When being measured for new orthotics, I discovered he has a new digital machine, which is superior technology. Since I mentioned to his staff why I wanted to see him, he directed his staff to check to see if my insurance would pay and how much. Everything was so smooth and professional.
Upon entering his business, his team member was on the phone but she immediately acknowledged me. This shows

John and his staff were marvellous to work with! It has that "small office feel" where you are treated more as a "friend" rather than a "patient". He even did the moulding for my orthotic the old fashion way with plaster of paris. I feel this is more accurate than the electronic version that my last doctor used. I would not hesitate to reccommend them! My orthitic fits perfectly and is providing much needed relief!

I am so grateful for Dr. Fjerstad and everyone in his office! Every time I walk in, I am greeted with friendly smiles, and feel like I'm at home. Dr. Fjerstad is always friendly and professional. I've gone in multiple times, and he has always taken care of all my concerns. I would highly recommend this office to anymore needing some TLC for their feet.
