What our patients say
“From the minute I entered the office till I left everyone was professional and kind to me.”
From the minute I entered the office till I left everyone was very professional and kind to me. Dr. Feldman listened and explained everything to me. I have a broken toe and he gave me great tips to rap it to help with the pain. I would highly recommend this office.

Dr Pelto, is the absolute best. He’s kind, gentle, always makes me laugh, and takes the best care of my feet. I would not go to anyone else.

Baseball card collection
Recently we took a trip home to Minnesota to visit my family. We did lots of fun activities and ate some good “home cookin” from my mom. Part of the trip was go clean out the storage space in the garage.
There are many baby items but also some of my baseball cards. As we were going through my baseball cards my eight year old son decided he wanted some of the cards. Good thing I didn’t let him take all of them but the excuse I gave was because of the plane ride home and the wouldn’t all fit.
He brought back a collection of baseball cards from the 1980s and he has been bringing them on the bus with him on the way to school. He has other friends that collect baseball cards. Here you can see him playing with his (used to be mine) baseball card collection.
Staying Active: How braces can keep you moving with painful flat feet
When people think of the word brace no one wants one. The most common brace you might have used is an ankle brace for an ankle sprain. There are many different types of braces for different conditions. One of the most common types of brace we use in the office is a Richie Brace.
This is a brace used to help with ankle instability and tendonitis due to a flat foot. We usually start with trying to use an orthotics and stable shoes but if that is not enough then we might see if your insurance covers a brace.
I have included an example of a patient with a flat left foot here before and afer wearing a brace to help align the ankle and prevent the foot from collapsing.
Do you feet hurt because of being flat give us a call to see if a Richie brace would be good for you!
Call us at 508-757-4003 to make an appointment with Dr. Neil Feldman, Dr. Donald Pelto, Dr. Benjamin Saviet, or Dr. Matthew Monette.
To your health,
Dr. Pelto
