    best doctor ever

    I am one that does not enjoy to go to doctors and would rather let aches and pains ride themselves out on there own. My past experiences with other doctors due to misdiagnosing or sending me to another doctor without a clear answer of my condition has made me become this way. Not to mention the long wait times with office visits while in pain. Dr Dorfman has changed my way of thinking now with his exact expertise on solving my achilles pain while not making me wait one single time past my scheduled appointment time. Thank you Dr Dorfam. You truly are the Best Doctor Ever!

    My new orthotics are a miracle!

    Dr Dorfman made custom orthotics with new technology. Like a car gets an alignment, I feel like my body got an alignment. My back is straight and my posture is greatly improved. My walk is stable with better balance. Plus Dr Dorfman is kind and professional. Five star plus!!

    Great Doctor

    I first saw Dr. Dorfman in the 1990's for a bone spur. He did surgery and I haven't have a problem with the toe since then. Last year my husband had a problem with an ingrown toenail and Dr. Dorfman saved his life. He sent him to a vascular surgeon and Bill ended up having surgery. This week it's my turn with an infected ingrown toenail. He just cleaned and cut it out. No pain. I have and would highly recommend Dr. Dorfman to anyone looking for a GREAT podiatrist.

    Plantars Fasciitis took my life away

    For over a year I was in so much pain. I could barley walk. I was afraid of surgery. Dr. Dorfman suggested EPAT, Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Treatment. After a few months I felt like I had my life back and after a year I am pain-free. I am so grateful. Thank you Dr. Dorfman for giving me my life back. John

    Going to Dr. Dorfman for my achillies was the best decision I ever made!

    I tried a variety of things to cure my achillies but nothing worked. Someone who had the same problem referred me to Dr. Dorfman. I was told there was a non-surgical option and I loved that idea. I was very chronic, and had had it for a very long time even doing my Martial Arts wearing a boot on the mats. He told me he could do EPAT on my achillies which involves no drugs. Sure enough, my achillies have gotten better and better and I am able to do things in my Martial Arts classes I never thought I would be able to do. I cannot tell you how grateful I am for Dr. Dorfman! He gets you into your appointment quick, listens no matter how many questions you have. I highly recommend Dr. Dorman!

    I was a little apprehensive at first but after the first treatment I was a believer. And the fact that I could continue my tennis during treatment is the amazing thing.

    Fantastic Care!

    I fell from a ladder and sustained a serious injury. My neighbor referred me to a foot and ankle specialist in Boca. I was not making any progress in my recovery. Being laid up gave me plenty of time to read and research. I learned about a relatively new treatment called Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Therapy EPAT aka Shock wave therapy. I learned that Dr Dean Dorfman was ahead of the curve and was already using it to successfully treat tendon injuries. After a re-evaluate my injury, gave a completely different and accurate diagnosis. Immediately I could feel an incredible difference, with just 4 treatments I was back on my feet and well on my way to a full recovery. Thanks to Dr Dean and his team! Joe Hodge Deerfield Beach

    Running Again

    Going from a sharp pain when I would run and for days after, I was afraid my running days were over. After four weekly treatments I was able to run 4 times in 8 days, around 3 miles each without pain. Thank you Dr. Dorfman, I'm a runner again!! Joe Bernstein

    My Hero!!

    I was desperate for some relief from my tendonitis in my feet and ankles. I had been in pain for 6 weeks and needed 2 canes and ankles supports to walk even a short distance. One treatment from Dr. Dorfman and I am able to walk without aid and my pain is almost gone. I had no idea what was wrong or how to fix it so I am so thankful to Dr. Dorfman (and his very pleasant and helpful staff) for getting me back on my feet--literally! I give them my very highest recommendation.

    Go today!

    After 30 years of on and off heal pain, numerous podiatrist's and every treatment, I finally found relief. Dr. Dorfman diagnosed my problem and recommended EPAT. Plantar fasciitis, tear and over compensating other parts of the foot disabled me. I couldn't walk or exercise. I am so grateful for 100% healing.

    heel pain in both feet

    This was my second podiatrist. The first doctor I went to a couple of years ago did not offer the EPAT service. I was skeptical at first but have found very positive results with this treatment. The doctor is very caring and I highly recommend him

    Plantar Fascitis/Heel spur

    After months of various methods of treatments for chronic plantar fascitis that was not working I was referred to Dr. Dorfman. Dr. Dorfman began using EPAT in order to reduce the heel pain and treat the plantar fascitis in my left foot. After a few treatments I felt relief and after completing the last (5) treatment I was pain free and had returned to running with no pain.

    Pain free at last.

    I was suffering from plantar fasciitis on both feet for 4 months. Dr.Dorfman suggested I try EPAT. The treatment helped me tremendously. I am 95% better. The OOFOs helped a lot too.

    Excellent Care

    Dr. Dorfman has helped me through a sports related tendon injury and a toe injury. His treatment plans have always gotten me back in my running shoes quickly and healed. The custom orthotics were the key to injury free running for me! I am able to get an appointment the same day and and have no wait time in the office.
