I recently spent a few days in philadelphia visiting my family. I woke up one morning with extreme pain in my left foot.It felt like my big toe was on fire. I remembered that a few years back, when I was living in philadelphia, I contacted Dr. John Fanelly for foot pain. So I looked up the office phone number and contacted Dr. John. He graciously scheduled to see me during his lunch hour. Upon seeing me entering his office, Dr.John pushed aside his lunch and sent me into an examination room. After examining my left foot, Dr.John gave me an injection into my big toe and prescribed medication. By

I have been in so much pain from an ingrown toenail, I wasn't able to wear sneakers and it had gotten so bad it was waking me up at night. I did a Google search for podiatrists near me I read the reviews and took a chance.
The nurse is very nice and friendly. Dr. Fanelly also is friendly as well as informative and knows what he's doing
He automatically saw where the pain was coming from explained to me what he would do and talked to me during the quick painless procedure. Even the needle was painless.
If you have a ingrown toenail that's bothering you please make Dr. Fanelly your new podiatrist

My entire family has used Dr. Fanelly. We can make appointments in a timely matter and are not kept waiting in the office for hours like some specialists. I recommend the office for all of your foot needs! From ingrown nails to orthotics and heel pain. They take care of it all. The doctor and the staff are fabulous
