"After suffering heel pain for six weeks, I was referred to AFAS for treatment. I was diagnosed and treated by injection on my first visit. The pain was completely gone within two days and I have remained pain free for several weeks since. Thank you AFAS. "

"I am a very satisfied patient of Dr. Jeffress and the Statesboro office. I have fungal toenails, which they treat, trim and buff. After my visit I have no more pain in my toenails!"

"Before I found help at Atlantic Foot & Ankle, I had such pain in my heels that I could barely walk across the parking lot to the store. I had to cut my shopping trips very short because I was in pain. With each step the pain was more and more severe. I started coming to the office and after evaluation was given the opportunity to have ESWT on my heels. I was skeptical but I felt like I had nothing to lose. After my treatments of ESWT on both of my achilles I am now walking 3 miles everyday in addition to my normal shopping routines. I can walk the mall for hours. I couldn't be happier with my outcome. The only bad thing is I will miss the staff as they are such nice people."

": My husband and I decided to walk on the beach on a Sunday in March, by the time we got home, I could not walk correctly. I was in tremendous pain. I made an appointment with Dr. Robitaille and the diagnosis was that the tendon was pulling away from the bone on my second toe. She said that a shot was not necessary and that she wanted me to have this “new” type of treatment using “Radio Waves”. I had three consecutive weeks of having this treatment and one week off, I probably had approximately 15 treatments. Finally in October I put a pair of regular flat shoes on and I was not in pain. Of course I have my orthotics in my sneakers and I now can start walking on a regular basis with no pain. I can’t say enough about this treatment….it seems that all the other doctors want to do is operate and that word is not in my vocabulary. It always is a pleasure going to Dr. Robitaille’s office in Hardeeville for my treatments….the staff (Demond, Jamie and Shannon) always take the time to put me at ease and find out how my week went. That is half the battle…..Before retiring, I had a job similar to Jamie’s –greeting all the clients and making them feel welcomed……and she does that....above and beyond…..I think that is what I am going to miss most –Since I won’t be coming by for any appointments, I guess I will just have to stop and say hello from time to time. In conclusion, the staff and doctors do a great job, far beyond my expectations."

"Dear Dr. Robitaille,

Just can't say thank you enough! I really appreciate your diligence, patience, and kindness in working with my stubborn plantar fasciitis. You and your staff have been wonderful."

"Dear Drs. Newsom, Robitaille and Becker

I would like to take this time to thank you for the T.L.C you and your staff have given me while I was a patient in your care. Your kindness, compassion and care are the best I have ever had in my 60 years of living. I feel like I am treated like a friend instead of a patient, I would also like to thank your staff: Demon, Robyn, Jeanette, Stephanie, Ann, Samantha, Camara, Tramika and Noemi. This is a great staff and ya'll are very lucky to have them. In closing, let me just say Dr. Newsom and Dr. Robitaille, I know I'm only 1 patient but, I think you two are the finest doctors I have ever known and I wouldn't seek care from anyone else."

"I came to Dr Newsom several months ago and couldn't be more pleased. His staff is friendly and efficient, and Dr Newsom really knows his stuff! My formerly ingrown toenails aren't causing me problems any longer, and my problem toe is well on the way to no longer being a concern. I trust Dr Newsom, and am willing to drive over 1.5 hours to visit his practice."

"A poem for Dr. Newsom,

Before you did my surgery, my toes crossed and my ankle was sore. I had to hop where ever I went. You did my surgery and you did it well! Now it's time to tell."
