Indian River Podiatry - Vero Beach Edy Hooper: My first appt. With Dr. Mazziotta was 2/27/25, I was having tingling & numbness (neuropathy) in both feet since Jan. 2023 (diagnosed with Chronic Lmyphocytic Leukemia 7/2023, which can cause this) then the last approximately 8 months it was painful every step I took. I had plantar fasciitis in 2019 so I decided it was time to see a doctor. Dr. Mazziotta came highly recommended to me from my OTF gym friends and I can see why as he is very knowledgeable, listened to my concerns, has such a great bedside manner, and I love how he did the conservative approach first. I had X-rays of both feet, I was given orthotic inserts with memory foam, instructions on proper stretching, icing, resting, shoe recommendations, prescriptions for the inflammation, pain and a prescription was called in for Medical Grade Food (Vitamin). After speaking to the vitamin company I received the 3 month supply (also came with a book explaining everything and a variety of conditions it helps) I started Thursday 3/7/25, one pill in the morning and one pill at night, by the 3rd dose my tingling was starting to disappear, the pain was less and by today Thursday 3/13/25 it’s almost non existent and it’s ONLY BEEN A WEEK. This vitamin is for nerve repair and has a combination of different stuff in it and I cannot even explain how it feels after two years to walk with no tingling, numbness and almost no pain. I saw Dr. Mazziotta today for a follow up and could not be more pleased and gave him the biggest hug, he is the only doctor that has listened to my issues and actually fixed the problem. I will continue to do the stretching, icing and resting as needed and follow up with him in one month so he can see how my progress is coming along. If you are having similar issues or anything with your feet I highly recommend going to see Dr. Mazziotta, his staff Jessica, Madison and Bailey are wonderful as well, overall great experience and still have to pinch myself that the tingling and numbness is gone, I will be taking this Medical Food Vitamin forever and I’m extremely grateful to this doctor for listening and helping me, he’s the best, 10 out of 10!!!
