Yesterday, I had a pretty awesome experience. A patient came in to tell me how I likely saved his life. Frankly, I didn’t do anything heroic. I just did what we should do as the premier providers of foot and ankle care in the world. I listened, examined, and made proper recommendations. Watch this week’s …
We all care deeply about patients having a positive impression and experience in our organizations and with us as physicians. We take the negative comments hard and get elated with the positive ones. However, that is no way to truly understand what patients think of us. For the last six months or so, we have …
We’ve talked a lot recently about the different struggles we are all experiencing and how to deal with them. For many of us, things are tough. I’ve been reading a lot about “burnout” and what that really means as a medical/psychological condition. This week, I had dinner with the COO of a large hospital network …
Every year, as summer turns to fall, patient volume and surgery really picks up. This year has been no different. What is different is that we are still dealing with an employment crisis, and we here at WFAI are still going through the transition to our new EHR. For our doctors, team members and me, the …
As you know, we’ve been going through our EHR change over the last few weeks and will complete our 3rd full week tomorrow. While the transition has been better than I thought, it’s still a change….and change is difficult. The change isn’t just tough on the physicians, it’s also difficult for the entire team. All …
Today is our annual Fellowship Interview day. Years ago, we had very few truly qualified candidates for our Fellowship in Reconstructive Foot and Ankle Surgery.

Last week I talked about how we were going live for a new EHR this past Monday and how nervous we all were. I was concerned that the organization would rebel against my decision to make this change. Many of you responded to last week’s video expressing support and still asked me to report back …
In April, I posted a video where I talked about how Weil Foot & Ankle had decided to change EHR platforms. We had done a very comprehensive search and evaluated most of the big players in the market. Through our research, we had determined that one was the best fit for us. Well…..we are a …
This past weekend, we held our quarterly Mastermind in person Meeting. It was the first of the 2021-2022 Mastermind Year and it was great. We haven’t had an in-person Mastermind meeting since October of 2019. It was amazing to be a part of such a great group of people who are committed to patient care …
After the most successful FABI Event ever this past June, many in attendance sent me notes asking me to talk more about the technique I utilize for EPAT/ESWT. In today’s video, I am doing just that. I’ve been performing ESWT/EPAT since February 2000 and have treated thousands of patients for a variety of foot and …
