Foot and Ankle Surgeons - New Braunfels, TX

"I started going to Dr. James in August to get my left foot evaluated. I had extreme and extensive pain and some days I could not walk very well because of it. I had tingling in my foot, achyness like you would if you have the flu and your body is just feeling bleh and overall I had to deal with this pain daily. Some days I was fine, other days when the weather changed, I was unable to walk or barely able to walk. Dr. James took x-rays of my foot and also had me do an MRI to see the tissue better and what was wrong. He scheduled me for surgery and I had that surgery on 10/5/16. He made sure I knew what he was going to do to my foot and how many places he was going to cut to fix my problem. I had a torn ligament that he rebuilt, severe arthritis which he scraped out and he put sort of a fishing line in my foot so when the weather changed, this line would help with the pressure that I sometimes needed on my foot to make it feel better. (Like a tight sock) After the surgery, I went to see him a week later and he evaluated my foot to see how it was healing. I wore the boot constantly for 1 week right after surgery and he said on this appointment, I could go without the boot watching tv and sleeping. That was a relief! I kept moving my foot as much as I could to loosen the tightened muscles. The following week I went back to get my stiches out and today I feel like a brand new person with a new foot! I am so pleased that he was able to fix my issue and make me be able to live again without pain. I recommend him to anyone who is in dire need of pain relief. As he told me on the last appointment "You're left foot was really jacked up!" Today I am still healing, but grateful for his care and attention to my issue. I have seen other podiatrists and they usually think of you as just another foot and another problem to deal with. Dr. James is the opposite! He is a very caring and compassionate person who is really concerned and wanting to help people with their pain. I am so glad and happy today because of this man! THANK YOU SO MUCH!"
