I was referred to Dr. Shuster from my podiatrist, after I developed a wound on my toe. Dr. Shuster and his staff took the time to completely evaluate my condition and came up with a treatment plan. After the blockage in my calf was diagnosed, we went over my options of either surgical bypass or an endovascular treatment in the office. My husband and I both agreed that we would pursue the outpatient procedure in the office, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome! I can now walk my dog without calf pain, my wound has healed, and the procedure only took around an hour! Very pleased!
