						She did her best to help try to put my foot back together after Jensen & Miles intentionally crippled me. Jensen had made my big toe stick out to the side. It was like that for years very painful, had to cut my shoe. She had to put a plate of metal to hold it in place. It can not move. Miles & Jensen cut off my toes by have & put them going in different directions. Jensen put one on sideways & implanted toe nails onto the bottom of my foot. She removed all of them. She offered to cut off the crippled little PCs of toes but I didn’t want them removed. No working toes on my left foot. CRPS was caused by podiatrist. Surgery should be done by surgeon’s. Shame on Dr Lambert who advised me to see 2 podiatrists that crippled me. Dr Fukuda was awesome. I do not understand why a doctor would recommend someone who doesn’t have the background to do surgery.

						Dr Fukuda was spot-on in her diagnosis. Very efficient in-office procedures, effective use of technology to record her findings. She was prepared with a clear understanding of what I was experiencing. One simple test movement helped conclude what she suspected the problem to be. Very practical treatment plan that I was able to start later the same day. No meds were prescribed at this time, they were not necessary. An X-ray was taken. The pre and pay nurses also did a great job. Minimal wait time once you get past the front desk. One improvement for the front desk would be to have a separate line for those already pre-checked in online. This will facilitate a smoother quicker flow. Overall, 5 stars. From parking to leaving the building, was less than an hour!!

						She was my third opinion and the best one i have seen so far. She explained all aspects of corrective surgery and informed me that it is an option for me to have but not needed at this time. I will go back to her if i make that decision. I felt like I was listended to and given ample information to make a decision regarding sugery or not. I was also given alternative non surgical things to do which will help. She is 5 stars all the way!
